Our sash and door factories and planing 
mills are turning out an immense stock of 
new Millwork for which we must make room 
at once in our big fireproof Warehouse. 
This forces us to unload the Roofing, re¬ 
gardless of price. Such values in high-qual¬ 
ity, GUARANTEED ROOFING will cer¬ 
tainly never again be offered. 
It’s a fact, which investigation will prove, 
that you must pay your Dealer two and one- 
half to three times these prices for Roofing 
of equal quality. And no dealer in the 
country can or dares to sell you Roofing at 
anywhere near our prices.
