FOE OVER 23 YEARS THE STANDARD. 



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

 for several years the only roofing of this 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 roof- 

 ing. That the first roofs of RU-BER-OID applied in 1892 are 

 still giving satisfactory service is indisputable evidence of 

 •unequaled durability. RU-BER-OID contains no rubber. It 

 contains no tar. It contains no paper. It contains no asbes- 

 tos. 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-con- 

 ductor of heat. It keeps the heat in in winter, and the heat 

 out in summer. RU-BER-OID will outlast tin, iron or shin- 

 gles. It has outlasted its upwards of 300 imitations, vari- 

 ously known as "rubber" roofings, "asphalt" roofings, "asbes- 

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

 108 square feet.
