COMFORTABLE 
AND QUIET 
within, although the Storm 
rages without. 
CON-SER-TEX is a specially 
treated high grade cotton fabric 
particularly well adapted for 
roofing and porch covering. It 
will not rot, stretch, crack nor 
blister. No more noise and rattle 
when the elements let loose. No 
more leaky spots nor repair bills 
after the storm has passed. 
CON-SER-TEX preserves the 
coziness and safety of the home 
during the storm. 
Every carpenter, builder and owner 
should send for our new illustrated 
booklet “Roofing Facts and Figures.” 
It proves the many advantages of 
“CON-SER-TEX” Canvas Roofing.

Kill the Weeds —once for all 
Beautiful grounds can be kept beautiful—free from 
weeds—without paying the almost prohibitive cost of hand- 
weeding. 
Owners of estates and homes, 
country clubs, municipalities and 
railroads all over the country em¬ 
ploy Atlas Chemical Weed Killer, 
instead of costly hand-labor. 
Atlas comes in highly concen¬ 
trated liquid form. You mix it 
with 20 parts water and apply in 
ordinary sprinkling can or cart. 
Atlas enters the plant at the sur¬ 
face and soaks down to the deepest 
root. Weeds die in a few days and 
the ground round about is steril¬ 
ized for all season. 
One gallon of Atlas Weed Killer 
keeps 600 sq. ft. clean for the whole 
year. Compare this with costly 
hand-weeding which must be done 
over and over again. 
Sample offer 
We will furnish you a trial 
2 qt. can of Atlas on receipt / 
of $1.00 and this coupon, ^ 
postpaid, if you men¬ 
tion your dealer’s .
