All roofing you have ever bought heretofore had three cost prices—the 
first cost per square laid on the roof—the cost per year for up-keep—the 
cost of property damage by leaks. Here then, is real roofing economy.

Steel Roofing your roofing expense for that building is at an end for all time. 
Its cost per square is the lowest ever made. It has no up-keep cost. Its property 
protection is absolute. Its years of service, as long as the building stands. Always 
beautiful in appearance. Guaranteed Fire-proof, and Lightning-Proof. Reducing 
the cost of .your lire insurance. . ... 
Reo Steel Shingles 
The Edwards process of galvanizing 1 makes the zinc spelter practically one piece with the 
Steel. No ordinary galvanizing can compare with it. Each and every Edwards Metal Shingle, 
Metal Spanish Tile, each sheet of Edwards Reo Steel Shingles, Grip Lock Roofing, Pressed 
Standing Seam or Roll Roofing is dipped in a hath of molten zinc, one at a time after the metal 
has been stamped and resquared. This insures a uniformity. The edges are galvanized as 
heavily as the sides. Not the space of a pin-point on the steel is exposed to the rain, snow, 
frost, acids or anything that eats or destroys a steel roof.
