THIS WAREHOUSE affords a convincing illu^ration of the fire-proof qualities of 

 " Target-and- Arrow Old Style" roofing tin. It is located in Philadelphia 

 and owned by S. D. Hunsberger. In the spring of la^ year the building 

 adjoining was de^royed by fire, rebuilt and again de^royed by fire in the 

 fall. At the time of both fires the wind carried the flames and sparks 

 diredly across the roof of the warehouse, but without damage to the 

 building and the tin itself required only a re-soldermg of some of the seams 

 and a new coat of paint. 

 No roofing material manufactured offers the fire-resisting qualities of tin. No tin 

 manufactured offers the weather-resisting qualities of "Target-and-Arrow Old Style." 

 It makes the safe^, mo^ sanitary and most serviceable roof for any building. The roof 

 of any strudure is of sufficient importance to warrant a study of the subject before 

 building. Our booklets, "A Guide to Good Roofs" and the "Tin Roofer's Hand 

 Book," both sent free on request, will be found to be informing and authoritative text-books.
