N coming before the public with our Kighth Annual Catalogue we do so I with the kindest regards for those who have so well sustained us with their patronage from year to year, and with no little satisfaction and sense of pride that the merits of our goods have enabled us to retain the good will and favors of so large a host of friends through the hot fire of competition. During the past year we have been obliged to greatly enlarge our works and to put in new machinery in order to meet the increased demands for our goods. There also has been located in our city one of the finest equipped Rolling Mills in the country for making Steel and Iron Sheets for roofing pur- poses. This will interest our trade as it enables us to obtain the finest quality of sheet right at our door, thus saving us the expense of shipping raw material and enabling us to fill all orders, special and otherwise, promptly. We have tried to illustrate in this Catalogue the different uses of iron and stee] for building purposes, and hope we have not failed to show that we are keeping abreast with the enterprise of the times. We ask your careful perusal of its pages. Assuring the trade that we propose in the future, as in the past, to sustain _the quality and reputation of our goods and soliciting your favors, we are Yours truly, CAMBRIDGE ROOFING CO, tl a ‘ olirske ites \, a oe - Picad PART FIRST Steel Department. ie ae SSS S77 ZZ CERTIFICATE. coultLU a QEX WOR ODS WWD OEE, — Se, ; = gee —— f pe Seett cm oceERTIFICATEUFAWARD ¢ a e —e—— — — ¢ ry Cambridge, Ohio. —=eFor Crowl's Patent Roofing and Siding.e=4— _ ah i FURST DEGREE or MERIT Ble 618, é LER Cer Cleans; Mag S06 M85 habeas Clatman’ Z : The above are perfect copies of the Medals and Certificate awarded us for Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing by the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, held at New Orleans, Louisiana, 1884 and 1885. iG 7 aa eee OUR SPECIALTY. crow! § Patent Steel Rooting Standing Seam. ‘THESE CUTS SHOW A SHEET OF OUR CROWL’S PATENT STEEL ROOFING Made Ready to Crate and Ship.

These Goods are in Every Respect Superior to Separate Cap Roofing. SAMPLES SENT ON APPLICATION. ee CROWL’S PATENT STEEL ROOFINC. This roofing is suitable for all classes of buildings, especially Factories, Mills, Elevators, Sheds, Barns, Fair Buildings, Cotton Gins and Railroad Buildings It has become popular all over the country for these purposes ~ and noted for the following qualities : 1st. It is made of the finest material, viz.: Pure Steel. 2d., The buckle, which is in all sheet metal, is taken out by our patented process. 3d. Each sheet being fastened separately and securely, and buckle being taken out, it does not rattle on the roof. 4th. All expansion being provided for there is no bulging by heat. 5th. The caps are formed on the sheet and are part of it, so they cannot — get loose and blow off like separate caps. 6th. ._ It comes all ready to lay and hence can be laid rapidly. 7th. The sheets being held together by cleats as well as to the roof, there is no punching or riveting and no nail head to rust by being ex- posed to the weather. 8th. Taking quality into consideration it is the cheapest metal roofing made to-day. 9th. It is handsome, fire proof and very durable. KIND AND QUALITY OF MATERIAL USED. We use only one kind of material for our Crowl’s Patent Roofing, viz. : Pure Steel. It is very tough and pliable and can be bent either way of the grain without cracking, making it peculiarly adapted to this style of roofing. - In weight it is what is called Standard Gauge or our No.’ 26 and will weigh, when laid, about 80 pounds per square. This is heavy enough for any pur- pose where a Standing Seam Roofing can be used. Quality is more to be con- sidered, when selecting a roofing, than weight. Weight adds to its cost without — corresponding value, as the Standard weight will last two generations if cared — for, and heavier would do no better. Where a heayy roofing is needed to lay on rafters without.lath or sheathing, our heavy corrugated iron is recommended. SIZE OF SHEETS. Each sheet of steel when made measures 24x 10linches. This is the only size we use for Crowl’s patent. It is easily cut to fit any size of space and the sheets are locked together by turning ends and hooking them into each other | and hammering down the joint. All pieces are used and no waste occurs. We _ allow for the seams and one inch*on ends for locks and give six sheets for one square. HOW SHIPPED. We put it up securely in crates so as to protect it in transit. Each crate : x, is marked with number of sheets. We always send along with it enough cut. cleats to put it on, free of cost. Ngils and paint are charged for when fur-_ nished. When ordering give full shipping directions and specify all you | ‘ , want sent with it. 4 (avi _ other side. — — ® Trogumey TOOLS. * To put on Crowl’s Patent Roofing it requires a pair of common tinner’s snips, end turner and pair of tongs for closing up the seams or edges. If needed we loan these for first bill and then if party desires to keep them for future use we will sell them at the following prices, viz.: Tongs, $2 per pair ; Snips, $1.75; End Turner, 50 cents. If returned it is very important that the name of party returning them should be written on card attached to them, in order that we may know who to credit. If tools are sent with roofing shipped ©. 0. D., they are added to bill and when returned we refund the price less the express charges. The shipping expenses should always be prepaid on tools when returning them. FOUNDATION FOR ROOFINC. Crowl’s patent roofing can be laid on sheathing or laths. Sheathing, even of poor rough boards, makes the best foundation. Where laths are used they should be put from 6 to 8 inches apart. Werecommend using felt under the roofing to protect it from all moisture, hot air or steam. We keep it in stock and can furnish it at a cost of 25 cents to 33 cents per square, PITCH OF ROOF. Crowl’s patent should not be laid on a roof having a pitch flatter than 13 inch pet foot; } or 4 pitch is preferable for any style. For flatter than 1} . inches to the foot see our Plain Rolled Steel, page 10, or Rolled Capped, page 12. DIRECTIONS FOR LAYINC CROWL’S ROOFINC. When the roofing is received it has the edges all turned and the ends snipped ready to turn for the end locks. The ends are turned with an end - turner. Turn the end slitted slanting up and the other end down. When ° commencing first course turn one of the edges down to fit down over the weather-board and nail it, so as to keep the wind from getting under. The end at the eave should be turned down and nailed to the eave board. Before putting cleats on the edges, close the seam up close. Drive the nail in ' the cleat up close to edge—not driving the nail off at the end of the cleat; the closer the nail is to the edge or seam the better it will hold. Fasten end by - driving nails into the ears of the upper end and also fold a cleat into lock and nailit. Lock the ends of sheets together and hammer the lock down solid with mallet. _When comb is reached cut off the sheet one inch longer than roof, as this inch will be needed to make the comb. The piece cut off use to - commence next course with, thus preventing any waste of material, and also wa breaking joints. The cleats on the side should be put about one foot apart i These cleats are long enough to bend back over the outside sheet, thus hold- ing the sheets together as well as to the roof . When laying the opposite side of a ridge roof the sheets should be cut off two inches longer than the roof in order to finish the comb, as the ends of one side lock into the ends of the tg @ Reyer, ———— Ee No. 2.

FOR CROWL’S PATENT PLAIN ROLLED, ROLLED CAPPED ‘“‘EUREKA’”’ AND CRIMPED EDGE ROOFING. When laying around chimneys get the distance from chimney to cach course, and then mark out the sheet far enough so as to have a four-inch flange to flash up against chimney. Cut the inside lines A, A, A, on cut No. 7, and turn at outside, to form lines of flange to fit up against chimney, as pace _ by cut No. 6. The seam on upper ‘side of chimney, next to the ridge, 1 is cut ! 8 inches from the chimney and flattened out so as to allow the water to, pass ie around. Put some cement (made of dry ore paint and linseed oil,) in the seams flattened out and nail them down. Fit corners of chimney with cor ner No. 7 age - Sn ae g : - 7 Fj x pieces, using plenty of cement, and then counter-flash the chimney as shown by cut. It is well to turn the upper edge.of the counter-flashing and cigs iw ey into the chimney so as to turn all water. Use plenty of cement. mae Ti nea We ie FELT UNDER ROOFINC. We recommend the using of felt under the roofing and are selling a good deal of it now for this purpose. It protects the roofing from all gases and acids, moisture, hot air and steam. Also during frosty weather it prevents dripping when the frost is melting. It is inexpensive, the best costing only from 25 cents to 33 cents per square. We keep it in stock. ADVANTACES OF STEEL OR IRON ROOFING. Over Shineles—Shingles are not what they used to be when they were made of the clear hearts of timber, when it was plenty and cheap; but. now timber is scarce and more valuable, and shingles are made of sapling limbs or anything that can not be used for anything else, and the consequence is they only last a few years. And a wooden roof is simply a fire tinder, ready to catch fire by the first spark, and the great majority of houses are destroyed from fire catching on the roof. Insurance companies will insure buildings much cheaper haying steel or iron on them, Safety from Lightning—Read what scientists say regarding this established fact : Prof. Mitchell says: “It is impossible that a building covered with iron should be injured by lightning; the large surface of the metal scatters the electricity and renders it harmless.” ‘Mr. Merriman says: ‘‘Few persons realize the protection afforded dur- ing violent thunder-storms by shelter in a building covered with iron.” The large suriace of metal scatters the force of the bolt, and in our ex- perience we have never knowna building to be destroyed by lightning having on one of our roofs. Over Slate—Good slate is very costly, and is so heavy, (weighing 600 pounds to the square,) that it requires an expensive structure to bear it up. Slate will also crack by freezing and from the heat of burning buildings near it, and it is very hard tomend. It often causes a building to spread or settle out of shape by its weight. Over Tin—The weakest parts of any roofing aré its joints, and the more a0) joints the weaker the roof.. Tin coming in small plates it has about eight — times as many joints as steel. In order to compete in price with steel or iron _ avery poor quality of tin is now used, with a very thin coat of tin or lead on it. It does not hold paint as well as steel, and therefore they get out of repair so often that there are many more leaky tin roofs than steel oriron. Tin has to be laid on tight sheathing, which adds about $1.00 per square to the cost, as steel can be laid on laths. —10 — Plain Rolled Roofing, MADE>sOF PURE STEEL. No. 8.

Commence at end of roof and turn down edge of Roofing, and nail it to face or weather board so as to keep wind from getting under, then turn up the other edge one inch with tongs, as shown by man B in cut No. 8; then anchor it by nailing cleats about eighteen inches apart. Drive nail close to edge of Roofing, as it holds much firmer than if driven an inch or more from edge. Turn up edge on next course two inches and bring it up close to the one inch edge, and turn it down oyer it to form cap with foot seamers, as shown by man D in cut No.8; then turn the end of the cleat over all and close up all tight with tongs, as shown by sample. Comb, Hip and Valley made same as on Crowl’s Patent. (See pages 6,7). For directions for laying when Separate Caps are used see page 12. FOUNDATION AND PITCH. This style should be laid on sheathing. If laid on lath they should not be put over six inches apart. Can be laid on roof having a flat pitch, as one-half inch to the foot. It is used generally on flat roofs, as our Crowl’s _ Patent is much easier laid on steep ones. TOOLS. To lay Plain Roofing it requires a pair of Tongs, a pair of Snips and Foot _ .Seamers. This we loan to put on first order with. If party decides to act as * agent we will send the tools at actual cost, viz.: Tongs, $2.00; Snips, $1.75 ; Foot Seamers, $4.00. If Separate Cap is used only ‘Tongs and Snips are needed. When returned all express charges must be prepaid and sender’s name on card, so we may know who to credit when they come into our office. TRIMMINC SENT WITH STANDINC SEAM ROOFING. We always send cleats frce of charge. With separate cap roofing we always send cleats and caps free of charge. NAILS AND PAINT. The old custom of putting in nails and paint free of charge is done away with by all the best companies. It is no advantage to the buyer for the seller .to try to make it appear he is making a present of nails and paint, for no one can give something for nothing, and the cost of these are either added to the - price of roofing or the quality of the material is reduced this much. We charge for nails and paint as per price list. It is much better for customers toorder mixed paint. Dry paint is of very little value of itself. The trouble and cost of hunting up proper oil and dryers to mix it with is more than the _ mixed paint costs. Besides, very few know how to mixit properly. We mix ours by machinery and get the very best possible mixture. We recommend sg all our customers to order mixed paint with roofing. a marae eS ee PART SECOND.

The cleats both fasten the Roofing and hold the cap securely in place, thus doing away with all punching and riveting. This roofing is made of iron, not steel, and is to meet a demand for a cheaper standing seam roofing, and can be used on flat roofs having a pitch of one-half inch or more to the foot. In eyery case, where a first-class job is wanted, we recommend our Steel Roofing, and the difference in cost is very little. Can furnish this same style made of steel if desired. eee EUREKA STANDING SEAM IRON ROOFINC. For Roofs having a pitch of two inches or more to the foot.

See directions page 5. Covering width, 24 _ inches; regular length, 8 feet; special lengths, 7, 9 and 10 feet. We allow for seams, and give 6} sheets, 8 feet, or onesquare. Remember, we do not recom- “mend this or any brand of iron roofing for first-class jobs. Always use Crowl’s Patent Steel when a first-class article is wanted. The price is very little more, and will be the cheapest in the long run. BEADED IRON, CEILINC AND SIDINC, No, 12. This cut shows a sheet of our Beaded Iron, used extensively for Ceiling and Siding. The sheets lay two feet wide and usual length, 8 feet. The beads are 3 inches apart and } inch deep. We paint it three colors, viz.: Red ___ both sides, red one side and slate color one side, and red one side and pea green one side; the slate and pea green colors for the outside. It makes a : very handsome ceiling, especially for offices and store-rooms. After it is laid it can be painted any color desired, and a coat of varnish adds to its appear- ance. One edge is perfectly trimmed and squared, and this edge should al- ‘ways be used on the outside lapping, over and covering up the long edge. We keep in stock 6,7, 8,9 and 10 feet sheets. It weighs 75 pounds per _ square. We allow for the side lap. When ordering give sizes to be covered. _ For Siding it can be put on beads running up and down or horizontally. | Berg! ; =—14A— PRESSE) Corrugated Iron. « We make all our Corrugated Iron on the latest improved press machine. This method insures uniform corrugations and perfect edges and joints, which can not be accomplished by passing sheets through rolls. We have used rolls and know whereof we speak. If you want perfect edges and joints use Pressed Corrugated Iron. We paint it on both sides with best oxide iron paint We use from No. 20 to No. 27 gauge and keep a large stock of the stand- ard gauge on hand all the time. No. 13. This cut shows our 3x inch Pressed Corrugated Iron, painted both sides, nine full corrugations. Full width, 26 inches; covering width, 24 inches lap- ping one corrugation, or 21 inches lapping two corrugations. Desirable size for roofing. We always ship this size for roofing if no sizes of currugations are specified. No. 14. This cut shows our 2x} inch Pressed Corrugated Iron, painted both elder thirteen corrugations in each sheet. Full width, 26 inches; covering width, 24 inches lapping one corrugation, or 22 inches lapping two corrugations, This is a very desirable size for Siding. ; No. 15. This cut shows our 1}x?$ inch Pressed Corrugated Iron, painted both sides. Full width, 25 inches; covering width 24 inches lapping one corru- gation, or 22} inches lapping two corrugations. This is used mostly for Sid- ing and Ceiling. she We paint this three colors, viz: Red both sides, red one side and drab one side, and red one side and pea green one side. The drab makes a hand- some Siding, and the pea green a nice color for Ceiling. We charge twenty cents per square extra painted drab one side, and thirty-five cents per square extra painted pea green one side. Regular lengths of all our Corrugated Iron 6, 7, 8,9 and 10 feet. We can cut these and give half lengths of any of these sizes. Where odd sizes are wanted, such as say 8 feet 5 inches or 8 inches, we will charge for 9 feet sheets, unless it is for a good-sized order and parties can wait for two to three weeks, so that we can have it rolled to sizes wanted. We have no sheets longer than 10 feet. When ordering Corrugated Iron give sizes of surface to be covered, so that we can send the best lengths. How to Bevniate Amount and Cost of Corrugated Iron. First select the best lengths of sheets to fit the space, bearing in mind the end laps. On Siding one inch end lap will do, while for roofing nothing less - than three inches, and if a slight pitch, six inches, for end lap. As each sheet lays just two feet wide, it is a simple matter to ascertain the number of sheets necessary to cover the space. Then estimate the number of feet in each sheet as follows: AY 6 feet long, 13 sq. feet, lay 2 it. wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. ok 7 feet long, 154 sq. feet, lay 2 ft. wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. ; 8 feet long, 174 sq. feet, lay 2 3 wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. eae 9 feet long, 194 sq. feet, lay 2 ft. wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. AS 10 feet long, 213 sq. feet, lay 2 At wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. _ When necessary we can cut sheets in the middle and give half sheets of any of the above lengths. When we cut to odd inches, say 7 feet 9 inches, _ we charge for an 8 foot sheet, unless we have two or three weeks in which to _ fill order, so as to have the sheets made odd sizes. While the sheets only lay 2 feet wide we measure them 26 inches wide, as we allow nothing for laps. This rule only holds good for Corrugated Iron, as .we allow for side laps and a seams for all Standing Seam and Crimped Edge, and Beaded Roofing, Siding Bi by Ceiling. | Re as Faas Weights of Roofing, Siding and Ceiling.

To fit around chimney take a piece of Plain Iron large enough to leave a flange of 6 inches when cut, (see cut No. 19,) and space on side of chimney for water to pass down. Form the edges so as to fit in corrugations of the Roofing. See cut 19. Fit the piece behind the chimney aud run it up under the Corrugated Iron at least 12 inches, (see dotted lines) and let the lower end of flat piece lap down over the Corrugated Iron. fit the flanges tight against chimney, using plenty of paste, and then counter-flash.

If chimney is large it may be necessary to lock two Plain sheets together, in order to bave enough to go round the chimney. The lower side of chimney is finished in the same manner by flashing apiece up against it and down over the Corrugated Iron. ° Use plenty of paste. * | Th HOW TO MAKE VALLEY WITH CORRUCATED IRON. If there are valleys in roof to be covered with Corrugated Iron, take a piece of Plain Steel 27 inches wide and fit it into valley and nail edges.

Unlike all other makes of Crimped Edge Iron, ours has two small crimps in center of sheet, dividing the sheet into three sections of 8 inches each. These crimps are same as in Crowl’s Patent Steel, and for the same pur- pose—to take the buckle out of the sheet and to add strength and beauty. These center crimps are not as deep as the edges. The end locks can be turned. Triangular wood strips are used in edges, and ends can be lapped or locked. The best way is to lock ends. We furnish a lit- tle tool for 50 cents with which to turn ends. Made of standard boxed annealed iron, weighing 75 to 80 pounds per square. The above cut shows our Patent Crimped Edge pplied to roof, showing the- wood strips, how used, tc. Used quite extensively on large sheds and mills. THREE-CRIMPED ROOFING. The annexed cut, (No. 27), shows our Three- Crimped Iron. The middle crimp, same size as edges,” and a wood strip goes in it. This is a good style to use in a very windy place, or where the building is exposed to a good deal of wind. Rules of Measurement ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL IRON ROOFING ASSOCIATION.

The base of this paint is a metallic oxide of iron mixed with pure linseed oil and proper dryers. When applied it flows easily from the brush, leaving a glossy surface which exposure hardens, making a surface which is practical- ly a coating of iron, possessing all of its durability, and which will not crack, chalk or scale. This paint is of special value as a coating for Metal Roofs, Iron Work, Bridges, Brick Walls, Fences, etc. IMITATION SLATE. This paint is manufactured from a gray mineral closely akin to powdered slate. When applied upon a shingle roof it not only gives it the appearance of a slate roof, but arrests all decay and effectually preserves the iron from the destroying action of the air and water. It is a handsome gray shade of paint, and can be used for Ceilings, Siding, etc. | PEA CREEN. The base of this color is a combination of lead and zine, tinted with pure colors to produce the shade. This shade is specially adapted for ceiling work. Very handsome effects may be obtained in a room by using this color on the celling and coloring the side walls in harmony. TRON WORK.

Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: Gentlemen—Ship us at once 120 squares Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing, to Orange, New Jersey, same as the last 350 squares. . We are very well pleased with the roof. It looks fine since we have finished and painted it. While we were putting it on four different parties visited the building for the purpose ot seeing the roofing, and they decided then and there that it was the kind of roofing they wanted. The above order is the result of one party’s decision and we expect to hear from at least two of the other parties. We do not un- derstand how anyone, having once seen your roofing, can help using it if it is their desire to get something better than tin at a less cost. . Yours truly, ie HEDDEN & CAIRNS. .- JOIN IN PRAISING IT, Drexel Building, Room 330, Philadelphia, October 31, 1889. Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio : Dear Sirs - Replying to your letter of October 9th would say I am very much pleased with your Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing material, having puta roof on in which I am interested, and believe I have put the best roof on in the market. I have had an experience of roofing more than one hundred buildings, and carefully looked into all the roofs now on the market before I concluded to use and adopt yours. I can cheerfully recommend it to anyone needing a good roof. I have also the assurance of other practical builders and architects to whom I have recommended it, and who, after using it, join in praising it. Very truly yours. D. H. KENT. SIMPLICITY OF CONSTRUCTION. ‘ Philadelphia, November 2, 1889. Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: Respected Friends—After a careful examination of the various kinds of — steel and iron roofing on the market, we have selected your Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing for covering our branch factory at Anderson, Ind., which re- quires about two hundred squares. The quality of material, the simplicity of construction, &e., we believe more néarly fill the several requisites for a — metal roof than any we have examined. Hoping our order will arrive in — good time, we are, Very truly, PHILADELPHIA QUARTZ CO. ~ ——81— WILL ALWAYS USE YOUR GOODS. Fort Wayne, Ind., December 17, 1889. Messrs. Pfeiffer & Schlatter, Fort Wayne, Ind.: Gentlemen—After giving the question how to roof some barns and houses that I proposed building this summer, I gave you an order for one hundred and twenty-seven squares of Crowl’s Steel Roofing, and for one hun- dred and forty-four squares of Corrugated Iron to cover the sides of the building. My buildings have just been finished, and I send you herewith the photograph of one of the barns that I built, which equals a rectangular building 206x388 feet with 24 foot posts. I intend next year or the following one, to build another wing to it, when it will be in the shape of a T, covering a space equal to 272 feet by 36. While, of course, I do not know how long it is going to last, I believe, at the present time, that I could not get so good a roof for the same amount of money of any other material. The men who put it on the building say that the steel and iron were both of a very fine quality, and any person who has seen any of the buildings that I have built say that they present a very handsome appearance. If I had more buildings to build I would use Crowl’s Steel for roofing and Iron for the sides. Yours respectfully, T. E. ELLISON. NO INSURANCE. Fostoria, Ohio, December 16, 1889. Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: Gentlemen—The inclosed photo shows our storage house, which is cov- ered with your Roofing.

Yours respectfully, SELBY & MOMPER. WIND AND RAIN HAVE NO EFFECT. Auburn, Ky., December 3, 1889. Cambridge Roofing Co.: Dear Sirs—Your Roofing came as ordered.

Yours respectfully, A. McCARLEY., 4 SOLD OVER 4,000 SQUARES. ‘ . San Antonio, Texas, January 18, 1889. Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: Gentlemen—Since the commencement of 1885 we have handled iron roof. ing and siding. Formerly only sold Corrugated and Crimped Edge. Finding our trade in this line improving daily we were also induced to try Crowl’s ; £ Patent Roofing, and we must say that wherever we have sold Crowl’s Patent it has given universal satisfaction, and has continued to make us new friends and customers, and in consequence we have more than trebled our sales. We have sold over 4,000 squares, especially due to the improved quality of the Crowl's Patent Roofing, and would recommend the use of it when a first- class roof is wanted. Will need another car soon, as the one lately received is about sold. Yours truly, PIPER & SCHULTHESS. Bo. CROWL’S PATENT THE BEST. Arkansas City, Kas., December 18, 1888.

Endfield, Mass., November 27, 1889. Cambridge Roofing Co., Cambridge, Ohio: Dear Sirs—In reply to your favor of the 22d would say that I wanted something better for roofing than anything I could make or buy in the line of shingles, so decided, after examining several kinds of metal roofing, to give your Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing a trial. It is pow on my buildings. It has been tested by severe storms, and is not found wanting in any particular. We laid it on bay-windows, over hips and in gutters without a fracture in any case. It is very easy to apply, and will surely supersede wood roofs largely when its merits are understood. The man who puts his money into Crowl’s Patent Standing Seam Roofing invests it wisely. 3 Yours respectfully, A. Jc: NOR WARD. AHEAD OF ALL OTHERS. Janelenc, Lewis County, W. Va., November 4, 1889.

I have used about five hundred squares of it during the last two years. I have had to compete with the cheaper styles of roofing on thé market, but when the fact became known that your roofing was the only one having the buckle taken out of the sheet, and the only one having two full caps on each sheet, so that each standing seam is four thicknesses of iron, and that it makes no difference which end of the building you commence to lay it, it was preferred to the common styles of roofing, which was being offered at a less price. No one will be sorry for using your Crowl’s Patent Steel Roofing. ISAAC VANTASSEL, Tinner. DO NO BETTER THAN TO PURCHASE BEADED IRON. ; Decatur, [1s., November 11, 1889.

Here is what some of my customers say about iby: B. H. Suir: “I like it better than tin. I have tin and Crowl’s Patent both on the same building. It is as far ahead of tin as tin isahead of shingles.” W. D. Granam: “Ilike itsplendidly. I think it is the best metal roof out.” |, H. Wavan, Waugh Landing, Gallia County, O.: “I have twenty-four squares on my barn. When Saunders came to me I got a sample of the metal and compared it with all other makes in the county, and could get other roofing for less money, but the quality was lacking; therefore, | took Growl’s Patent at $5 00 instead of sheet iron at $3.40.” As a contractor and builder I think your Roofing inthe lead of all others.
