I F you do not know the French or 
diagonal method of laying Asbestos 
“Century” Shingles ask your roofer 
about it. It presents many advantages. 
The Shingles are fastened independ¬ 
ently with copper storm nails, giving the 
roof great flexibility under expansion 
and contraction. 
This method saves considerable in the 
number of shingles and labor required.

Stained with Cabot’s Shingle Stains. 
Aymar Embury II, Arch’t, Englewood, N. J. 
For Shingles, Siding, Boards 
and all other outside woodwork it will pay you to use 
Cabot’s Shingle Stains 
They give soft, transparent coloring effects that bring 
out the beautiful grain of the wood, and never look 
“painty.” They cost less than half as much as paint, 
and can be put on twice as quickly. The Creosote 
penetrates and thoroughly preserves the wood, and 
they are the only genuine wood-preserving stains. 
They are the only harmonious and suitable colorings 
for modern country and suburban houses, bungalows, 
camps and cottages. 
You can get Cabot’s Stains all over the country. Send 
for stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.
