The Great Improvement 
IN 
ROOFING. 
September 1st, 1870. 
Having-just completed our new manufactory containing 
new and improved machinery, and all the appliances found 
necessary during our experience of nearly thirteen years in 
tlie manufacture of Roofing Materials, we desire to furnish 
samples to Builders, Roofers, General Merchants, and oth¬ 
ers. of our 
IMPROVED ROOFING MATERIAL, 
which is ENTIRELY DIFFERENT from any other, and is 
ten times stronger than any Composition Roofing in use. 
An examination of this material will satisfy competent 
judges that it is in every respect a substantial and durable 
fabric, made upon correct principles, perfectly adapted to 
tlie purpose, ami totally uniike the numberless cheap and 
flimsy articles heretofore sold for Roofing purposes • while 
owing to our extensive manufacturing facilities we can sup¬ 
ply it for about the same price. 
We also manufacture from the fibrous mineral asbestos a 
FIBROUS ROOF COATING, 
prepared ready for use, which can be applied with a brush, 
and forms an Elastic Water-proof Felting , on any surface; 
by use of this Coating, old and leaky Rooi's can be made ser¬ 
viceable for many years. 
These materials can be readily applied by any one. De¬ 
scriptive Pamphlets, Testimonials, Prices, etc., by mail. 
The Roof of the Agriculturist Bnildingis coated with these 
materials, which have so far proven satisfactory.
