for ten years. If the roofing does 
not last, the owner is to get new

building dry until the tenyearsare 
up. The guarantee is a Surety 
Bond issued by the National 
Surety Company of New York. 
Nothing uncertain about that. y 
What we are really offering for 
sale is not so many feet of roofing 
but ten years of protection. And 
that is what you really want when 
you buy roofing. And that is ex¬ 
actly what you are certain to get 
when you buy Congo. 
Send for a copy of that guarantee, 
we will mail it to you on request, 
with a booklet and a sample—all

World’s Grandest Work Shoes 
These shoes are our own Invention. The soles and 
an inch above, ull around, are pressed out of one piece 
of light, thin, springy, rust-resisting steel. 
Corrugated Steel Soles ! 
The bottoms are corrugated, making them 100 per 
cent, stronger than before, and are studded witli ad¬ 
justable Steel Rivets, that take the wear and give a 
firm foothold. When rivets are partly worn, replace 
them with new ones, by hand, yourself, making shoes 
as good as new. 60 Extra Rivets cost 30 cents, and 
should keep shoes in repair for two years at least. 
Stronger! Lighter! Better! 
Many Times More Durable 
One pair outlasts 3 to 6 pairs best all-leather work 
stioes. They are stronger, lighter, better, more com¬ 
fortable and economical than leather shoes. They 
absolutely do away with corns, callouses, bunions and 
swelling of the feet! Give splendid protection against; 
coughs, colds, rheumatism, sciatica, etc., by keeping 
the feet bone-dry in spite of mtid, slush or water. Up¬ 
pers are of finest quality pliable waterproof leather, 
joined to.the steel by non-rusting metal rivets, making 
water-tight sea in. 
QCIun IMOW' Don’t put it off! Simply remit price and get a pair for FRICK EXAM IN A- 
U t ■ l U I X ft • TION at our risk. Bo careful to give correct size of shoe. Then if you don’t say 
at once that they are the grandest work shoes you over put on your foet.your money will lie refunded. (61)
