T HE Everlastic line of roofings for all types of steep-roofed 
buildings is made by The Barrett Company with a 60-year 
reputation for giving full roofing value. 
If you buy roofing! that cost any less than Barrett Everlastic 
Roofings you will probably regret it, for they will not give you 
the kind of service you want. And to pay more is unnecessary. 
Read the brief descriptions below and you will find just the 
style you want for that building you are planning to roof. 
Everlastic “ Rubbber ” Roofing —A re¬ 
cognized standard among “rubber ” roofings. 
Famous for its durability. Made of high-grade 
water-proofing materials, it defies wind and 
weather and insures dry, comfortable build¬ 
ings under all weather conditions. Nails and 
cement with each roll. 
Everlastic Slate-Surfaced Roofing —A 
high-grade roll roofing, surfaced with genu¬ 
ine crushed slate in two natural shades, red 
or green. Needs no painting. Handsome 
enough for a home, economical enough for a 
barn or garage. Combines real protection 
against weather and fire with beauty. Nails 
and cement with each roll. 
Everlastic Multi-Shingles ( 4-in-One 1 
Made of high-grade felt thoroughly water¬ 
proofed and surfaced with crushed slate 
in beautiful natural slate colors, either red or 
green. Laid in strips of four shingles in one 
at far less cost in labor and time than for 
wooden shingles. Gives you a roof of artistic 
beauty worthy of the finest buildings, and one 
that resists fire and weather. Needs no painting. 
Sverlastic Tylike Shingles — Made of the 
same durable slate-surfaced (red or green) 
material as Everlastic Multi-Shingles but cut 
into individual shingles, 8x1297 inches. Laid 
like wooden shingles but cost less per year 
of service. Need no painting.

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 4. 11)10. 
These prices and notes are believed to 
be fairly representative of the current of 
trade here. The range given in the quo¬ 
tations covers the qualities on hand at 
the time. The best grades of most fruits 
and vegetables, live stock and poultry on 
sale one week may be much better or 
poorer than next week's offerings, so that 
a lower top price on such products does 
not necessarily mean a lower general mar¬ 
ket. This does not apply to butter, c heese 
and eggs, which are more thoroughly 
standardized. 
MILK BRICES. 
Now York, for September, $3.21 per 
100 lbs. for ?! per cent milk at points 200 
to 210 miles from the city, with 4c per 
100 additional for every tenth of 1 per 
cent butterfat over 3.

An advance of one-half to one cent is 
noted on the better grades. Under qual¬ 
ities Are dull. The sale of butter substi¬ 
tutes has •become general in the city and 
suburban retail trade. The so-called 
“nut” butters are most popular, selling 
from 15 to 25c below good dairy and

VEGETABLES. 
Potato receipts are increasing, but so 
many are in poor condition that prices 
on top grades are higher. Everyone who 
digs potatoes, whether in the field or gar¬ 
den, should be on the lookout for the wart 
disease mentioned and pictured on page 
3382. This serious disease has got some 
foothold iu this country, and it is of the 
utmost importance that its spread he pre¬ 
vented and all cases reported to the pro¬ 
per authorities specified on page 1332.
