 WE GUARANTEE | 
 
 Our SmitH Patent Roorina made of GENUINE 
 STEEL only, and not ofiron. Certain other manu- 
 facturers quote Steel Roofing, but use only an or- 
 dinary quality of iron, thus deceiving customers 
 and doing a great injustice to honest competitors. 
 
 The material used by us is manufactured speci- 
 ally for this Roofing by thoroughly experienced 
 workmen, and is guaranteed to stand the test of 
 double-seaming, either lengthways or crossways 
 the sheets, without breaking. It is soft, pliable, 
 box annealed, free from scale, nicer, more compact 
 in texture, and far stronger than iron. No argu- 
 ment is necessary to prove its superiority for 
 roofing purposes. 
 
 The price is now so nearly that of iron as to 
 make it economy to use the steel. 
 
 Steel Roofing has rapidly gained the lead and 
 is destined to hold it. 
 
 SO@- We manufacture three kinds of Steel 
 Roofing and make prices accordingly. 
 
 First kind.—BusseEMER Stee, far superior. in 
 quality to Charcoal Iron. © 
 
 Second kind.—GENUINE SIEMENS-MARTIN PATENT 
 STee., the best quality made. 
 
 Third kind.—Patent CALAMINED STEEL. This 
 kind is coated with a combination of non-corrosive 
 metals, and resembles Galvanized Iron, though 
 far superior in quality, as the calamine enters the 
 pores, and is guaranteed not to crack or scale un- 
 der any test, and to solder more strongly with ei- 
 ther rosin or acid, than galvanized iron or tin.’ 
 
 AO@- Calamined Steel is now largely used, and 
 is the best material known for gutters and valleys. 
 
 Each kind of Steel named above makes excel- 
 Jent cornice, which we mention elsewhere. 
 
ee ee 
 THE SIZE OF STEEL SHEETS 
 
 For our Smrra Parent RoorinG is 27x96 inches, — 
 and of No. 26 American Gauge as given in Has-— 
 well’s Engineers’ Book, a standard authority for 
 many years. 
 
 This is known as ‘‘Standard Gauge,’’ andis the 
 best. to use, as it is very strong and constitutes a 
 reliable base. 
 
 Heavier gauges would cost more, and could not 
 be folded into tight joints. The gauge and qual- 
 ity are shown by samples which we mail at re- 
 quest. 
 
 OB It makes a light roof, weighing about 80 
 pounds to the square. When made of Calamined 
 Steel, about 10 pounds more. 
 
 The durability does not depend on the thickness 
 of material, as is erroneously supposed by some, 
 but on the quality of metal, and the purity of 
 paint used, which furnishes a perfect protection 
 and prevents rusting. 
 
 AOS Paint is the protection of all metallic 
 roofs. The Steel is the base. 
 
 Roofs made ofthis material, and by the Smith 
 Patent Plan of Construction, can not break, be- 
 come loose, nor get out of order, and if painted 
 with our roof paint, every three to five years, will 
 last longer than ordinary buildings, though it be 
 a hundred: years. 
 
 AO@- “For repainting material purchased from 
 us, we will furnish our extra quality of roof Paint, 
 ready mixed, as cheap as customers, not having 
 necessary facilities, can obtain and prepare the 
 ingredients properly. One quart will cover more 
 than 100 square feet. 
 
 
 
ae 
 PLAN OF CONSTRUCTION. 
 
 THe Smiruh Parent PLAN or ConstTRuctION is 
 the nicest, most perfect and reliable that can be 
 produced. It is easily formed, and substantial in 
 appearance. It forms its own ridge and hip cap- 
 ping by a folded seam combined with the roof, 
 and can be laid on lath, three inches apart, or on 
 sheeting boards, and attached to either steel or tin 
 gutters and valleys on dwellings, or any other kind 
 of buildings. 
 
 MOH Some kinds of metallic roofs are not suit- 
 able for all kinds of buildings. 
 
 Sheeting boards are generally better for any 
 kind of roof, though lath can be used with equal 
 convenience. 
 
 MOB Many plans of construction for metallic 
 roofs now on the market are objectionable, and 
 should not be used on buildings requiring a good 
 and tight roof, however cheap the price be. 
 
 AO It is a great mistake to suppose all metal- 
 lic roofs alike or of equal value. 
 
 There is as much difference in the value of the 
 
 different plans of construction and quality of ma- 
 
 terial, as in other kinds of goods. It is false econ- 
 omy to buy a faulty and inferior roof to save a 
 small difference in price. 
 
 MOB «No material is too good to provide the 
 protection which roofs should furnish. The best 
 is always the most satisfactory and the cheapest 
 in the end. 
 
 HOW PREPARED. 
 
 Every sheet of steel is carefully inspected and 
 imperfect ones not used. The edges are trimmed 
 by squaring shears, and the sheets then thor- 
 oughly painted on both sides. This is what some 
 manufacturers call ‘‘two coats,’’ 
 
a 
 
 ‘THE PAINTING 
 
 Is done by machines, which paint both sides at 
 the same time, and do the work far better than 
 can be done by hand. 
 
 MATERIALS USED FOR PAINTING 
 
 Are best quality Iron Oxide, ground in oil, and 
 thoroughly mixed by machine with pure boiled 
 Linseed Oil to the proper consistency for a per- 
 fect coating. This paint is in perfect affinity 
 with Steel and Iron, and will wear longer than: 
 any other ever invented. 
 
 sOG It adheres tenaciously, becomes homo- 
 geneous with the material, is a perfect protection, 
 and GUARANTEED never to crack, blister or peal, 
 
 SO@- It stands several hundred degrees of heat 
 and is practically fire proof. We caution buyers 
 against using any sheet metal coated with spuri- 
 ous or cheap paint. 
 
 We mak? our own paint to know that it con- 
 tains no cheap nor injurious ingredients, which 
 flood the market, and are dear at any price, 
 though well calculated to deceive any one who is 
 not a paint expert. 
 
 Calamined Steel Gutters and Valleys. 
 
 We solder the cross-locks, but do not paint ex- 
 cept when so ordered. 
 
 We can furnish any length wanted, 12, 13%, 
 18, 24, 27, 30 and 36 inches wide, and keep in 
 stock sheets of the following sizes: 24x96, 27x96, 
 27x120, 30x96, and 36x96 inches. Actual width 
 of gutter strip charged for. 
 
 Many customers use the Siemens-Martin Steel, — 
 painted, for gutters and valleys, but as it cannot 
 be soldered, the Calamined is usually better. j | 
 

 
 
 
 _ 7 _— 
 CALAMINED STEEL ROOFING. 
 
 We prepare the Cauaminep Sreev for roofing 
 in three ways, and make prices accordingly. 
 
 First way.—With the sheets painted, and con- 
 nected at ends by a grooved flat-lock, the same as 
 with Bessemer and Siemens-Martin Steel. 
 
 Unless otherwise ordered, we always prepare 
 it this way. 
 
 Second way.—With the sheets soldered at end- 
 locks, but not painted. 
 
 Third way.—With the sheets soldered at end- 
 locks and painted on both sides. This way is bet- 
 ter generally for very flat roofs. 
 
 The Steel should always be painted before the 
 standing-seams are folded, so there will be paint 
 on the inside to act as a cement to make the joint 
 more secure and water tight. 
 
 “OS In ordering Calamined Steel Roofing, 
 state which way we shall prepare it. 
 
 
 
 
 
 PITCH OF ROOF. 
 
 Our SmiruH Patent Roorrne can be laid on any 
 pitch not less than one-half inch fall to the foot, 
 though one inch or more to the foot is better for 
 any kind of roof. Our Steel being painted on 
 both sides before folding, makes the standing- 
 seams more water tight than such seams in tin 
 roofs, which are not painted until after the roof- 
 ing is laid, and the folding of the seams done with 
 no paint inside. 
 
 M0 This Roofing, by reason of its superior 
 plan of construction, is suitable for a flatter roof 
 shan is safe for any other Steel or Iron Roof, or 
 qtanding-groove tin roof.

 A SQUARE

 Of our SmitH PaTENT StEEL Roorrne consists 
 of a strip 27 inches wide by 50 feet long, or its 
 equivalent, and 40 cleats. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 135 one inch No. 12 Steel Wire Barb nails per 
 square are required when the roofing is applied. 
 and about one quart of mixed paint for the fina 
 coat. : 
 
 Customers can buy nails and paint of us or else 
 where as preferred, as they are quoted seper 
 ately. 
 
 HOW SHIPPED. 
 
 THe Smirn Parent Roorine is shipped in rolls 
 of convenient size, wr rapped in paper secured by 
 wire. 
 
 Each roll consists of a strip containing six 01 
 more sheets, connected at ends by folded and 
 grooved water tight cross-locks, as shown in sam 
 ple. When requested we put exactly one square 
 in a roll, , 
 
 &O@ We mark strips to cut any length desired 
 when specifications in feet and inches are given. 
 
 Each roll is labeled, showing in figures, th 
 length of strip contained, and its covering width 
 which is always two feet, or three inches les 
 than the full width. 
 
 The length multiplied by two will give 
 number of square feet in the roll, as sold by us.

 ROOFING TOOLS. 
 
 The SmirH Parent Roorine cannot be laid 
 rightly and rapidly without using our Tools made 
 specially for this Roofing. We always send tools, 
 except to agents having a set of theirown. We 
 charge nothing for their use, if returned as soon 
 as the Steel is laid, but always charge estimated 
 cost of the return expense. 
 
 They must be prompriy returned to us as a 
 “Box OF CASTINGS,’’ (to get a lower freight rate). 
 The customer must attach a card, showing who 
 returned them, and send the Bill of Lading to us 
 by mail as proof of shipment, to enable us to trace 
 if lost in transit. 
 
 SO@- Toots Nor RETURNED PROMPTLY after roof- 
 ing is laid, will be considered sold, and must be 
 paid for unless permission has been obtained to 
 retain for further immediate use. 
 
 AO@- When ordering examine diagrams on pag- 
 es 39 and 40, and carefully follow instructions.

 COST OF LABOR TO APPLY 
 
 The Smrrn Parent Forprp-Lock Sram Roofing. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The average cost is about 50 cents per square, 
 though it varies from 25 to 75 cents. 
 All depends on the wages paid, skill of men em- 
 ployed, and size and shape of the building. 
 Wages in most places are from $1.25 to $2.00 
 per day, for carpenters, ordinary mechanics and 
 roofers. 
 Good tinners and expert roofers charge from 
 $2.00 to $3.00 per day. 
 On large plain jobs 10 squares, or more, per day 
 to each man employed has been Jaid, though four 
 to six squares is about the average. 
 On very steep roofs, small roofs, and where 
 many gutters, valleys, chimneys, schuttle holes 
 and ventilators are to be flashed, the roof will be 
 laid accordingly slower. 
 AO@- ~This roofing can be laid as fast as any 
 other metallic roof, and much faster than tin roof. 
 
 To Estimate Cost of Roof Complete on 
 Building. 
 
 Add together cost of labor, freight and material, 
 including mixed paint for final coat. 
 
 SO#F- ~ We can furnish experienced Roofers to 
 apply roofing at $2.50 per day, and all expenses 
 from starting to arrival home, but this is unnee- 
 essary in ordinary cases, as any mechanic or in- 
 telligent workman can apply the roofing after 
 carefully reading our printed instructions, exam- 
 ining the cuts, and seeing our sample and tools. 
 
 The Tools cannot work wrong. 
 
 To repair roofs, see instructions enclosed with 
 sample.

 MEDALS. 
 
 We have never exhibited our goods at exposi- 
 tions, but guarantee all we claim for them. 
 
 Our medals are the opinions of AcruAL USERS. 
 
 We consider such evidence the most practical 
 proof of the superiority of our goods. They are 
 certainly more reliable than medals obtained at 
 expositions where there were no competing ex- 
 hibitors of such goods. Read pages 34, 35, 36 
 and 37. 
 
 LIGHTNING PROOF. 
 
 This claim is not merely an advertising assertion, 
 but a fact. Lightning has never been known to in- 
 jure a building covered with a Steel or Iron Roof. 
 This is conclusive evidence. 
 
 Authorities say: ‘‘Combustion cannot occur, as 
 the large metallic surface scatters the electricity 
 and renders it harmless.’’? All danger from light- 
 ning and expense of lightning rods is avoided. 
 
 Tron bridges and iron buildings are never in- 
 jured by lightning. 
 
 WATER PROOF. 
 
 No complaints of getting out of repair or leak- 
 ing have ever been reported to us, when this roof- 
 ing was properly applied, according to our printed 
 ' structions. 
 
 We consider this sufficient evidence. 
 
 
 
 Can as much be said of other roofs ? 
 
 | Heattny Water. There is nothing injurious 
 
 in the paint. Its smooth surface holds but little 
 
 : dust, which disappears with a few minutes’ rain, 
 after which the water is clear and healthy.

 The Canton Steel Roofing Co.’s materials to be used,

 Why Better Than Separate Cap “| 
 
 Because our Folded-Lock seams are more relia- 
 ble and water tight; resist capillary attraction of 
 water better than single edges, and have no caps 
 to become loose or detached. e 
 
 Separate caps make imperfect laps, and cannot | 
 be made to conform to the upturned edges if the 
 surface of roof boards or lath are not uniformly | 
 even, without causing the edges of caps to buckle 
 or bulge, and in time become loose, and the root 
 endangered. 
 
 These objections are overcome by our plan of 
 firm cap and sheet combined folded-lock seams, 
 which conform to equalities. 
 
 Our flat crosslock seams are water tight and far 
 better than when made on the roof, with nothing 
 solid to mallet.on, as is required by roofs put on 
 in separate sheets. — 
 
 Experience has proven that to have these cross- 
 seams ready made is a far greater advantage than 
 to have the side edges ready turned and the cross 
 seams not made. 
 
 COMPARED WITH TIN. f 
 
 A Steel roof is stronger, has fewer seams, can 
 be applied faster, and on a cheaper surface. ; 
 
 Tin roofs rattle, get loose, and become leaky 
 ten times as often as our Steel roofs. 
 
 Steel joints contain paint on inside which acts 
 as a cement and prevents leaking. Tin roofs are 
 weaker, and contain from five to twenty times as 
 many joints, and have no paint on the inside of | 
 standing seams. ‘Tin joints, rigid with solder, — 
 often break from vibration, contraction, and crys- | 
 tilization of the solder. 
 
 Steel joints are elastic, and neyer injured » 
 

 
 
 P 
 
 — 13— 
 
 contraction or expansion. The tension 1s more 
 uniform, and vibration does not loosen the roof, 
 Can be repaired cheaply by any one. 
 
 Tinned roofing plates for the American market 
 are of inferior quality to compete in price. 
 
 TIN IS MADE OF SHEET IRON, dipped in a power- 
 ‘ful acid, which enters the pores, and cannot be 
 washed out; then, in a solution of tin, which is 
 run off by electric process, except 2 to 4 per cent., 
 which is not enough to hold solder strongly. 
 Many pores, imperceptible to the eye, are not 
 coated, and when exposed to atmosphere, corrode 
 quickly because of the acid. ‘A machine is no 
 stronger than the weakest part.’’ Iron is the 
 base of tin, and paint is its protection. 
 
 Steel, having the above advantages, is more re- 
 liable. 
 
 Tin roofs are usually allowed to rust a few 
 weeks, to take paint better, then painted at addi- 
 tional cost of 50 cents per square. Steel being al- 
 ready painted can never commence to corrode. 
 
 AO@#- In Great Britain, where all tin is made, 
 iron is used largely and tin but little. Iron roof- 
 ing plates appear in English metal quotations. 
 These facts outweigh all theory as to tin. ‘Truly 
 not all that glitters is gold.” 
 
 COMPARED WITH SLATE. 
 
 Slate requires a heavy and expensive structure 
 ‘to bear the weight, which is from five to seven 
 ‘times as much. The pitch must be steep, making 
 “more surface to cover. Often breaks from shrink- 
 age of timbers, settling of the building, freezing, 
 ‘thawing, and heat from adjacent fires; blow off, 
 en are costly to repair. 
 
 | 
 
 | 
 
 
 
 / 
 
 In many States firemen are not required by 
 
re — 
 law to go on slate roofs for obvious réiecea 
 
 They cannot be walked over safely while re- 
 pairing gutters, chimneys, lightning rods, ete., 
 and are not lightning proof. Driving storms 
 force snow and rain through the laps. Slate holds” 
 more heatin summer, and more cold in winter, 
 and leak when gutters are flooded with melting 
 ice. In any event metallic gutters are always re-_ 
 quired as in all other roofs. 
 
 All things considered, slate roofs are more 
 costly than generally supposed. 
 
 COMPARED WITH SHINGLES. 
 
 The greater number of fires originate on the 
 roof. The average life of shingle roofs is only ten 
 years in towns, and twelve in the country. Shin- 
 gles were formerly made of prime timber, but 
 now of refuse logs, soft trees, sapplings, limbs, 
 and odd cuttings, because prime timber is more 
 valuable for other purposes. They are dangerous 
 and fast becoming unpopular. 
 
 Steel roofs cost about the same, can be laid 
 much faster, will last many times longer, look 
 richer and better, and are safe against fire and 
 lightning. 
 
 Shingles are dear at any price. 
 
 40@- Insurance is much less on buildings coy- 
 ered with steel.

 Itis advisable to use lining paper under aLu 
 roors, whether steel, iron, slate or shingle, as it 
 is a non-conductor of heat and cold, and makes 
 
 buildings cooler in summer, and warmer in win- 
 ter. Also prevents condensation and dampness, 
 and makes buildings more dry and healthy. 
 
 It should be used on dwellings, churches and

 MOS Sheets 8 feet long of Standard Gauge are © 
 always shipped, when lengths and Gauge are not. 
 specified in the order. : 
 
 We keep in stock, for prompt shipment, Stan- — 
 dard Gauge sheets, 6, 7,8, 9 and 10 feet long, 
 from which shorter lengths may be cut. Heavier 
 gauges furnished on sufficient notice. 
 
 When odd lengths, as 514, 616, 714, 84 and 94% 
 feet are wanted, we ship sheets 6, 7, 8,9 and 10 
 feet long and charge for the next greater length. 
 
 MOF Galvanized Iron furnished on short notice. 
 
 &O@- ~Prease Notice.—When customers want 
 iron cut to fit gables or other parts, they must 
 furnish accurate drawings or diagram filled out, 
 showing size and shape of spaces to be covered. — 
 
 Unavoidable waste and labor in cutting charged 
 for at full cost. 
 
 OH For Evevarors, shorter sheets are gen- 
 erally used, and nailed as per special instrue- 
 tions, to better provide for settling of building. 
 
 AO#-_ Iron corrugated crossways the sheet, 15 
 cents per square higher in price. 
 
 We do not recommend cross corrugating, how- 
 

 
 —I19— 
 
 ever, because in laying iron corrugated this way, 
 there is danger of the workmen not keeping the 
 corrugates plumb, and the spring of the iron pre- 
 venting the corrugations lapping as uniformly 
 close as when corrugated the usual way. 
 
 CorruGATEeD [Ron Roorina is used on some 
 kinds of buildings, though for roofing, we advise 
 the use of our Patent Folded Lock Seam Steel 
 Roofing, except where heavy gauges are wanted, 
 as the joints in corrugated iron are simply laps 
 and liable to leak, unless one and one-half or two 
 corrugates are used for side lap, which makes it 
 cost as much as the Lock Seam Steel Roofing. 
 
 ‘The object in corrugating is to stiffen and 
 beautify. 
 
 For Roofing, lighter gauges than No. 24 should 
 be laid on boards or strong lath not more than 
 twelve inches apart. 
 
 Gauges Nos. 24, 22, and 20 may be laid on bear- 
 ings two to four feet apart. 
 
 Gauges Nos. 18 and 16 may be laid on rafters 
 with cross bearings four to eight feet apart. 
 
 For siding with the lighter gauges, the bearings 
 may be farther apart than for roofing, though a 
 nicer and better job is generally obtained by 
 placing the bearings closer together. 
 
 (@ Corrugated, Crimp and Beaded Iron, when 
 less than a car load, is shipped in crates contain- 
 ing from 20 to 40 sheets each, according to gauge. 
 
 How to Order. 
 
 See diagrams, pages 39 and 40, or the orDER 
 SHEET, and carefully follow instructions. 
 
 Estimate how many sheets to order, and the 
 length of sheets most suitable to furnish the prop- 
 
 er end laps, and the number of courses of sheets 
 
—= 20 = “ 
 
 necessary to cover the surface, to avoid unnec- 
 essary cutting and waste. 
 
 Always allow for such end lap as you wish to 
 use, which, on roofs should be three to six inches 
 according to pitch, and on siding and ceiling one 
 to two inches. Name each article wanted. 
 
 AU@- Remember the covering width of all our 
 Roofing, Siding and Ceiling, is always two feet. 
 
 RULE OF MEASUREMENT. 
 
 ESTABLISHED BY THE NATIONAL IRON ROOFERS’ 
 
 ASSOCIATION, ON WHICH ALL PRICES ARE BASED. ~ 
 
 For Crimpep EpGeE Iron.—The actual covering _ 
 width and full length of sheets charged for. 
 
 
 
 For Beapep Iron.—The actual co vering width q

 For Corrucatep Iron.—The full width, anda 
 length of sheets charged for; , no allowance. for. 
 
 laps on sides or ends. 
 
 The rule on width for doreijaiedt iron diftets 
 from the rule for crimped edge and beaded iron, 
 because more than one corrugate is frequently 
 used for side lap, especially for roofing; hence, - 
 the full width of corrugated sheets is charged for. . 
 
 The full width of the three and two inch corru- | 
 gated sheets is 26 inches, being two inches more 
 than the covering width.

 AGENCIES. 
 
 An agent for our goods means simply a custo- 
 mer for his place and vicinity. We refer all in- 
 quiries from said territory to him. He buys the 
 goods from us when wanted, and makes his own 
 selling prices to his customers. 
 
 We furnish no goods to be sold on commission. 
 
 We give certificate of agency and charge noth- 
 ing for territory, but we require him to buy tools 
 within three months, otherwise the agency will be 
 considered abandoned, and revoked at our option. 
 
 He may hold the agency so long as he complies 
 with the agency contract and buys not less than 
 $200 worth of our goods each year. 
 
 Should he ever wish to quit the agency, we will 
 take the tools back at cost, less $5.00 per year. 
 
 fO=-"—=SWe furnish to each agent, free of charge, 
 lithograph poster cards and circulars, printed 
 specially for his use with the agent’s name print- 
 ed thereon. We also furnish electrotypes if he 
 desires to advertise in local newspapers. 
 
 SO@-SCAny one not desiring to buy tools may 
 sell our goods so long as he returns tools accord- 
 ing to our rule on page 9, but, until he buys tools, 
 we do not refer inquiries to him. 
 
 It will be to his interest to own a set of tools, 
 and save the inconvenience and expense of return 
 charges, as they amount to much more than $5.00 
 per year. 
 
 Where we have no agent we sell to consumers. 
 Any one may sell our goods in territory not taken. 
 
 MO@- Agents desiring to give the best satisfac- 
 tion, baffle competition, and build up a large trade 
 in this business, must sell only the best plan, and 
 quality of goods, and be energetic and business- 
 like at all times.

TESTIMONIALS. 
 
 The Life of Iron Roofs. 
 MARSHALLTON, DEL., August 14, 1888. 
 
 To the Editor: Noticing in The Iron Age of the oth inst, 
 an article ‘*The Life of an Iron Roof,’’ I would state that m 
 barn is covered with an iron roof which was put on in 1840. 
 This roof is the ordinary standing groove, and, beyond paint- 
 ing every three or four years and some slight repairs caused 
 by the blizzard last March, has cost nothing since it was put 
 on. Wehavea house in Wilmington that has a similar roof, 
 putonin 1850, and, except an occasional painting, has cost 
 nothing for repairs. An adjoining tin roof of about same size, 
 put on atsame time as the iron roof, has required as much 
 painting as the iron roof, and cost over $100 additional®on re- 
 pairs, Both the iron roofs above mentioned are in perfect con- 
 dition to-day. Very respectfully, 
 
 J. R. BrrnGHuRST.
