"TARGET AND 

 ARROW OLD 

 STYLE" Tin Roof 



With thirty-eight years 

 of service to its credit 



THE house is located at Stamford, Connecticut, and was 

 built in 1 869 by Mr. W. W. Gillespie. The roof of 

 "Target-and- Arrow Old Style" tin was laid at that time. 

 Although it has been painted but four times, it is still in perfect 

 condition and bids fair to outlive the building. Rotting leaves 

 have impaired the gutters, but every inch of the roof is sound. 



THERE is a tin roof on an old building at Newark, N. J., 

 which furnishes a striking example of the 

 durability of old-time, hand-made, heavily 

 coated tin. This roof was laid eighty-five years 

 ago and does not show a leak or a sign of wear.

THE durability of ''Target-and- Arrow Old 

 Style" is not equaled by any other tin or 

 any other roofing material. Our booklet, "A Guide to 

 Good Roofs," explains why. Write for free copy.
