DIPT 
The Discerning Builder 
Who seeks the distinctive note without 
sacrifice of endurance and economy, recog¬ 
nizes in “Creo-Dipt” Stained Shingles endless 
possibilities for uncommon roof and side wall 
treatment. 
There is scarcely an architect who has not 
used—or at least considered—“Creo-Dipt” 
Thatched Roofs. A few years ago, “Thatched 
Roofs” were held doubtful as fgood architec¬ 
tural practice. Today, wide use has proven 
their infinite beauty and practicality. 
Signal effects are secured for frame build¬ 
ings by tasteful variegated color treatment with 
“Creo-Dipt” Stained Shingles. Suggestions: 
Graduated roof in soft-toned browns, reds and 
yellows, with 24-inch, 18-inch and 16-inch 
shingles with uneven butts; 24-inch side walls 
with wide exposures. 
“Creo-Dipt” Stained Shingles are rendered 
remarkably durable in color and wear by an 
exclusive process of creosoting which drives 
the colors deep into the wood fibres. Each 
shingle is stained separately, uniformly and 
permanently, one of thirty beautiful shades. 
All come ready to lay without waste, proof 
against dry rot and weather.

Roofs on special request. For Colonial

Dipt” Stain and 24-uich shingles with
