To End Your 
Roof Troubles 
Roof 1 
Under me Sun 
To every man who has a roof over his head 
and over his property this advertisement is of 
vital importance. It presents to him in Country 
Gentleman Asbestos Roof Cement the oppor¬ 
tunity to transform his old, leaky, down-and- 
out roof into a new roof, a handsome roof— 
an almost eternal roof — at a very low cost. 
It shows him how to keep in his own 
pocket the big money he would ordinarily 
spend for costly roofing materials and high- 
priced skilled labor—see "Saving Table” below. 
For many years Country Gentleman Asbes¬ 
tos Roof Cement has been a local proposition. 
On the homes, farms and estates in and around 
Albany it has been severely and thoroughly 
tried by fire, sun, storm and time. It has 
never been found wanting. 
We are now ready to nationalize our product; 
to give to the whole country the benefit of its 
superior service and its remarkably low cost.
