RU-BER-OID is the original ready-to-lay roofing, and -was for 

 several years the only roofing of its character. Different from and 

 superior to all other prepared roofing, in that RU-BER-OID 

 compound or gum, an exclusive combination of high-grade, water- 

 proof, acid and fire-resisting ingredients is used in its manufacture. 

 This gum is used in no other roofing. That the first roofs of RU- 

 BER-OID applied in 1892 are still giving satistactory service is 

 indisputable evidence of unequaled durability. RU-BER-OID 

 contains no rubber. It contains no tar. It contains no paper. 

 It contains no asbestos. It is not an asphalt roofing. RU-BER- 

 OID is tasteless. It is odorless. It can be used on roofs from which 

 drinking water is conserved. RU-BER-OID is fire-resisting. Hot 

 coals thrown on a roof covered with it do not set fire to the fabric, 

 nor to the boarding underneath. RU-BER-OID is a non-conductor 

 of heat. It keeps the heat in in winter, and the heat out in summer. 

 RU-BER-OID will outlast tin, iron or shingles. It has outlasted 

 its upwards of 300 imitations, variously known as "rubber" 

 roofings, "asbestos" roofings, etc. Put up in rolls 36 inches wide, 

 containing 108 square feet.

 STRIP SHINGLES 



A Shingle of Unusual Merit 



Enduring quality, economy, low application cost, attractive 

 appearance — these are the chief attributes of the Ruberoid Strip- 

 shingle. You have in this shingle all that you can ask. 



Ruberoid quality, the quality that has been tested on thousands 

 of roofs during the past thirty years, is refiected in this shingle. 

 Otherwise it would not bear the name Ruberoid. 



Economy in material is obtained in the Ruberoid Strip-shingle 

 through a patented feature involving a saving in manufacturing 

 cost — a saving that we gladly pass on to you. As a result, you 

 get true Ruberoid quality at an unusually low price. The appli- 

 cation of Ruberoid Strip-shingles is quick and simple. Spacing is 

 automatic. No chalk lines are necessary. 



Greater safety is imparted by the very design of the shingle. 

 The corners are cut away — hence there are none to turn up. Only 

 five nails are used to a strip, but each strip is actually secured by 

 nine nails due to the tabs on the upper edge. It will not curl. It 

 will not warp. It is approved by the Underwriters Laboratories, 

 Inc. , and bears their label. 



In appearance Ruberoid Strip-shingles leave nothing to be 

 desired. Unusual thickness, coupled with a pleasing surface of 

 red or green crushed slate, imparts massiveness and character to 

 the roof on which this shingle is laid.
