to store. Prices in producing sections 
are high compared with selling values 
here. .Shippers should look closely into 
the possibilities of their nearby markets,

ARMCO Iron 
Resists Rust 
Look at your roofs. Although 
new only a few years ago, gut¬ 
ters, drain pipes and roofing are 
rapidly becoming 
a fret-work of rust. 
They rust so fast 
because of impuri¬ 
ties in the metals. 
Pure iron, it has 
been proved, resists 
rust. 
American Ingot Iron is 
the purest iron commer¬ 
cially made andArmco roofing, 
pure iron, is the most rust-resist¬ 
ing metal roof you can buy. 
Armco Roofing has more than pu¬ 
rity of its iron base. There are careful 
rolling, long annealing, superior gal¬ 
vanizing. These, too, add to Armco’s 
rust-resisting power. 
Armco Iron is used for 
more than roofing 
When you buy a new stove ask the 
salesman to prove that the vital parts 
are made of Armco Iron. 
Many stoves are insured against 
rapid rust and corrosion by the use of 
Armco—American Ingot—Iron. We 
will tell you the names of these better 
stoves if you are interested. 
So, too, will we tell you of many 
other sheet metal products that are 
made of this rust-resisting iron.
