Rubkroid is more efficient, durable and 
economical than any other prepared roofing. 
Rubekoid contains no tar, rubber or other 
short-lived ingredients to melt in hot weather, 
and become dry and brittle with age, but will 
retain its strength, flexibility and pliability 
indefinitely. 
Rubekoid is positively weather-proof and 
fire resisting, and it is equally applicable to 
the small farm shed or handsome residence. 
Shingles rot and metal rusts. Rubekoid 
costs less, lasts longer, requires less attention, 
may be applied by any handy man, and is 
bound to give good results. 
Full directions and nails, tin caps and cement 
furnished free with every roll. Send for free 
sample and booklet “ R.”
