Once and for all 
protect your home 
Fire feeds on inflammable roofs. It 
takes but a neighborhood blaze and a 
high wind, or perhaps but flying sparks 
from your own chimney, to kindle a dan¬ 
gerous roof-fire—to wipe out your home, 
with all its cherished associations, its 
treasures no money can ever replace.

TRANSITE 
Asbestos Shingles 
cannot burn—the roofs they guard defy 
communicated fire. Nor will these 
shingles curl or rot. In addition to pro¬ 
tection against fire and the elements, 
J-M Transite Asbestos Shingles afford 
an artistic and durable roofing requiring 
no staining, the lowest possible main¬ 
tenance cost and no specialized skill for 
laying. Any carpenter can apply them 
and they are not expensive. 
They are supplied in a variety of shapes, 
in several sizes and in two thicknesses 
with rough or smooth edges. 
Johns-Manville T ransite Asbestos 
Shingles are examined, approved and 
labeled by the Underwriters Labora¬ 
tories, Inc., under the direction of the 
National Board of Fire Underwriters. 
Write the nearest J-M Branch 
for our shingle booklet-it’s free.

Look At Columns 
Before you build your home take half an hour to 
look over other houses, where wood columns have 
been used. 
You can prevent the unsightly splitting, checking, 
rotting and warping by using 
“ The Ones That Last A Lifetime** 
Moisture cannot rot them—the sun’s heat cannot warp or 
split them. The shafts are open hearth steel, protected 
by a special galvanizing and a coat of metalastic paint. 
Write for Column Book 46 showing ten beautiful designs 
and many installations.
