questions in the affirmative? 
Will they always be beautiful? Satisfying to the eye? 
In style? Will they: 
Increase selling and renting values 25% or more? 
Cost less than ordinary floors, plus carpets? 
Be durable? Sanitary? Dustless? Easy to clean? 
Take any stain or finish desired? Any number of times? 
Last out the century? Improve with age and use?

The Decorative Effect of an Appropriate Roof 
H ERETOFORE roofs have been considered for the most part, 
as a covering for the home only, a necessary part of the 
whole and selected with one thought in mind—utility. 
Now however, people of taste and discrimination are seeking to 
combine the qualities of service and distinctive appearance. 
You can obtain both at a cost within the reach of all when you 
roof your home with shingles of 
Flint-Arrow BLUE 
the newest and most artistic slate surfacing material for 
ASPHALT SHINGLES 
With its deep lustrous blue-black tone a Flint-Arrow BLUE roof 
brings out the beautiful points of the Architecture. Such a roof 
is an investment in complete and lasting satisfaction. 
Ask your local dealer for 
sample or write to us.
