Our galvanized rust proof iron (see No. I) is made of the very best grade of specially man¬ 
ufactured iron sheets. The galvanizing process protects these sheets from rust for all time. 
This thorough coat of non-corrosive metals—tin, lead and zinc—called spelter, is made a 
part of each sheet through the special dipping process employed. This gives the heaviest 
possible coat of galvanizing necessary for any covering purpose. Galvanized iron roofing 
has been used for over 60 years. It has always been and is today the best material for 
covering buildings made. Keeps buildings warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Posi¬ 
tively does not taint your rain water—is never injured by contraction or expansion.

SUPERIOR TO SHINGLES 
Many fires originate on shingle roofs. The 
natural life of a shingle is less than ten years, 
besides requiring constant attention. The 
quality of shingles grows poorer each year. 
Our Galvanized Rust Proof Roofing is Better than Slate 
Slate weighs seven times as much and will break from freezing and thawing. 
Excels Ready Roofings in Every Way! 
Compared to ready roofing, whether rubber surface or felt, cost considered, metal 
roofing will outlast it eight to one. Patent, prepared or composition roofings crack 
and curl with age. Tar roofings rot and spoil. Most ready roofings soften in the 
warm air and sun. They stick to your feet when walked upon. 
Suitable for Farm Houses, Barns, Stores, Elevators, City Dwellings, Poultry Houses, etc. 
Galvanizing is the life of a metal roof. Our light weight sheets with their 
heavy galvanizing give better service, besides saving considerable in freight. 
Do not require painting. Have a mottled, sparkling effect, pleasing to the eye. 
Anyone can lay our galvanized rust proof coverings. Ordinary hatchet or 
hammer are the only tools needed. No previous experience required to lay.
