A Roof that Really Protects 
The more carefully you study 
the subject of Ready Roofings the 
more you will be convinced of the 
great superiority of AMATITE. 
The average buyer sends to a few 
advertisers for samples, picks out 
one that looks tough, and sends in 
his order to the nearest dealer. 
If the dealer doesn’t keep the 
kind selected some other kind 
which he has is generally bought 
instead. 
That is a good way to get a 
leaky roof. 
The careful buyer is more particu¬ 
lar. He knows that any roofing 
will last for a little while without 
attention, but he wants to postpone 
the time and cost of renewal as long 
as possible. 
He is figuring next years’s cost 
as well as this year’s cost. He 
thinks of the money he will have 
to spend after a few years for a 
new roof if this one won’t last any 
longer. If he can get a better 
roofing at equal cost that will last 
longer, he is so much the gainer. 
That kind of calculation is called 
thrift. The thrifty buyer sees im¬ 
portant differences between AMA¬ 
TITE and the other roofings. 
The other roofings either require 
a coating with a special liquid every 
year or two, or periodical painting. 
Right there is a future expense to 
be counted by the thrifty buyer. 
His judgment swings toward 
AMATITE, because it needs no 
painting either at the time it is laid 
or afterward. Once it is on you 
have no further bother or expense. 
Then again, AMATITE has 
wonderful durability:— 
First, because it has a mineral 
surface. Doesn’t it seem reason¬ 
able to believe that a top covering 
of crushed stone will resist the wear 
of storms better than a roofing with 
a smooth or unprotected surface? 
Second, it contains solid layers 
of Coal Tar Pitch—the material 
which is used by the best engineers 
for waterproofing deep cellars, tun¬ 
nels, etc. Doesn’t it seem reason¬ 
able to suppose that this offers 
better protection against water 
than materials which are never 
used for such severe service ? 
One more argument. Weight 
for weight, AMATITE is the low¬ 
est in price of any mineral surfaced 
Ready Roofing. 
These, then, are some of the 
reasons why thrifty people buy 
AMATITE—It costs nothing to 
maintain ; it has remarkable dura¬ 
bility, and its first cost is very low.
