ZmWwXM mSkmmwXGXM &X&&X mXXjXJWXXlXJ identically the same s ceta as the galvanized rust-proof, except are not coated with 
the molten zinc or spelter, which coating makes the galvanized sheets rust-proof. While the unpainted and painted steel sheets will not last as long as the galvanized rust¬ 
proof, yet you can use them with a perfect degree of safety that they will last a good many years and give splendid service, and of course the first cost is not as. much as the 
galvanized rust-proof norcanyou expect the same amount of wear, so we believe in the end the galvanized rust-proof is by far the best proposition. However, if you feel that 
you want to make the smallest possible investment in roofing, why then buy the unpainted or painted steel sheets, all of which are covered by our guarantee as printed below, 
and if you so desire we would be g.ad to send you samples free of unpalnted or painted sheets, quoted in this advertisement.

Gentlemen Some 10 or 12 years ago I bought 
quite a billot - Black Corrugated Roofing from you and 
painted it before laying, and have only had to paint 
it twice since that time, and it is in as good condi¬ 
tion today as when laid. I saw your, "ad ” on Rust 
Proof Steel Ceiling. Please give me prices on that 
style of metal roofing as I expect to put up a barn 
this Spring and am looking for something for a 
roof as good as that bought from you last time. 
Yours truly,
