A Tcirget & Arrow 



OldStyleTin 



that survived the San Francisco Fi 



ire 



THE VOLKMAN BUILDING, shown here, owes its existence 

 today to the protection afforded by its *'Target-and- Arrow Old 



Style" tin roof. At the time of the 

 San Francisco conflagration this build- 

 ing was directly in the path of the 

 flames. The fire raged for hours on 

 three sides of it, covering the roof 

 with sparks and flaming cinders, but 

 the **Target-and- Arrow" roof held 

 its own and required but a new coat 

 of paint to make it as good as ever. 

 The thing desired is a roof that 

 absolutely protects — from fire as 

 well as from the elements and for 

 the longest time, 

 tion there is no 

 "Target -and -Arrow Old Style" tin. 



We send, upon request, two books which should 

 be read by everyone interested in roofs. They are 

 "A Guide to Good Roofs" and the ''Tin Roofer's 

 Handbook." 



For such protec- 

 roof like one of 



Reg. U. S. Patent Office. 

 There are 250 imitations of 

 this brand. Look for the 

 Target - and - Arrow trade- 

 mark on the genuine "Old 

 Style."
