A New Way 
To End Abur 
Roof Troubles 
To every man who has a roof over his head 
and over his property this advertisement is of 
vital importance. It presents to him in Country 
Gentleman Asbestos Roof Cement the oppor¬ 
tunity to transform his old, leaky, down-and- 
out roof into a new roof, a handsome roof — 
an almost eternal roof — at a very low cost. 
It shows him how to keep in his own 
pocket the big money he would ordinarily 
spend for costly roofing materials and high- 
priced skilled labor—see “Saving Table” below. 
For many years Country Gentleman Asbes¬ 
tos Roof Cement has been a local proposition. 
On the homes, farms and estates in and around 
Albany it has been severely and thoroughly 
tried by fire, sun, storm and time. It has 
never been found wanting. 
We are now ready to nationalize our product; 
to give to the whole country the benefit of its 
superior service and its remarkably low cost.

Proof! 
Mv flat tin roof extension to my dwelling had 
been leaking for the past io years and getting 
worse till the time. Nothing could stop these 
leaks until 1 got Country Gentleman Roof Ce¬ 
ment. One application stopped all the leaks, f 
figured that I would have to get a new roof at a 
cost of about Iioo hut J to worth of your cement 
made this unnecessary. Peekskill, N. Y. 
* * * 
My slate roof leaked for years. Every kind of 
cement, even experienced roofers, couldn't stop 
the leak. 1 stopped it in half an hour with your 
cement. Hampton. N.Y. 
* * * 
My roof gave me all kinds of trouble. I covered 
i t twice with felt rooting and gave it four coats 
of different kinds of advertised roof paints. The 
water still came in by the bucketful whenever it 
rained. Experts told me my roof could never be 
fixed right. One coat of Country Gentleman 
Asbestos Roof Cement did the trick; the roof 
hasn't leaked since I used it. Lebanon, Pa.

The results from Country Gentleman were per¬ 
fect. It has saved "big money” and then some. 
I was never treated more fairly or liberally. 1 
have no criticism whatever to make. I used 
Country Gentleman on tin, felt, and rock-coated 
roofing with equal satisfaction. Pavilion, N. Y. 
* * * 
5 gallons of Country Gentleman Asbestos Roof 
Cement saved me a new roof which would have 
cost at least Jiso. I am perfectly satisfied. 
* * * York, Pa. 
I used Country Gentleman Asbestos Roof Ce¬ 
ment. on an old roof which could not be patched 
with shingles or roofing so that it would not leak. 
The cement stopped all the leaks completely. It 
has given complete satisfaction. 
Farmingdale, N. J. 
* * * 
Just for trial I put the Roof Cement on slate, 
steel, tin. and felt roofs. Not one leaks a drop in 
the hardest rains. The cement cannot be ex¬ 
celled. it sticks like welded iron. Carvergrille, Pa. 
* * * 
My roof leaked like a sieve before applying 
Country Gentleman Asbestos Roof Cement. The 
work was done in December and January and 
there have been no leaks since, in spite of heavy 
rains. Stone Ridge, N. Y. 
* * * 
My stable leaked badly. The horses could not 
have gotten wetter had they remained out in the 
rain. Your paint stopped all the leaks — not a 
tlrop now. This roof was warranted for 20 years 
but went bad after 8 years. My chimney leaked 
badly but Country Gentleman fixed it up in fine 
style. Skylights in hen house also leaked until 
I used your roof paint. I have a tobacco barn 
222 feet long that has pinhole leaks which I in¬ 
tend to end with Country Gentleman.
