What is Roofing Tin? 



How is it Made? 



As a Property Owner or Architect did you 

 ever ask these questions and receive a satisfac- 

 tory reply ? 



We know there are many men who would like some definite 

 information along these lines, and have, therefore, compiled a 



book entitled **From Underfoot to Overhead" which carefully 



describes the process of making Roofing Tin from start to finish. 

 The information it contains is invaluable to you if you are inter- 

 ested in building, and we will promptly send you a copy if you 

 will write for it and mention this publication. 



By using any of the Brands shown below you can procure 

 the very best protection from the elements. These stencils appear 

 in the corner of the sheet, and you will notice the amount of 

 coating carried per box of 20x28 - 112 sheets is clearly shown. 

 This protects you from substitution — a point which we believe 

 you will fully appreciate.
