 Every builder will concur in the statement that the roof is the most important part of 
 a building. If allowed to leak or fall into decay, the rest of the structure, many times more 
 valuable in money outlay, will speedily become worthless. It is no wonder that the matter 
 has been the subject of much consideration, in order to procure some material which would 
 be efficient and durable, and at the same time economical. tron, shingle, tin, tar and gravel 
 roofs have all been tried, and, with the exception of the latter, have answered admirably for 
 quite a long time, but sooner or later they have to succumb to the action of the weather. It 
 is obvious, therefore, that a material which is practically indestructible by sun, rain or frost 
 would fill the requirements where others fail. Such an article is rubber, which in different 
 forms, has now been used for ten or fifteen years past. None of the manufacturers, however, 
 have succeeded in meeting every want required in a good, durable and economical roof, ex- 
 cept the Inprana Partnr anp Roorine Co., of Indianapolis. As long ago as 1870 the fire and 
 water proof rubber roofing made by this company was introduced to the notice of the New 
 York builders-and general public, and since then it has come into general use all over the 
 continents of North and South America. Costing less than shingles and but half the price 
 of tin or iron, while equal to any of them in all the qualifications of a good weather proof 
 roof, it has been adopted by owners of large manufactories, warehouses, stores, railroad buil- 
 dings and bridges, costly dwelling houses, schools, churches, ete. It weighs about 75 pounds 
 to 100 square feet and is therefore the lightest as well as the cheapest roof that can be put on. 
 It is supplied ready for use, is very elastic, requires no tar or gravel, can be laid over old 
 shingles, does not smell in hot weather, sheds water rapidly, and is as near being fire proof 
 as a roof.can be made. It is also useful in covering the sides of buildings, and in laying 
 underneath floor boards. Insurance can be effected at the same rates as when tin isemployed 
 to roof a building, and the material can be laid by anyone, even if not an experienced me- 
 chanie, as will readily be seen by an inspection of the accompanying engraving. This com- 
 pany also manufactures a slate roofing paint for repairing and preserving old shingle, tin or 
 felt roofs. This paint # made of pure slate flour, so ground and combined with leads, oils 
 and dryers, as to form an impervious covering of slate, and is the only real weather and 
 fire-proof paint made. A slate roofing cement designed for repairing breaks or nail holes in 
 roofs, painting up about chimneys where tin is joined to brick or wood work, about gutters, 
 cupolas, dormer windows, skylights, hot house frames, the decks and bottoms of boats, 
 aquariums, water troughs, etc., is also a product of the company that has proven to be very 
 efficacious. Tarred sheathing paper, dry sheathing paper, carpet felt, marbleized slate man- 
 tels, grates, tenders etc., are also turned out by the company, and are equal in every respect 
 to any that are made. ‘To accomodate the growing trade in the New England, Middle and 
 South Atlantic States, and afford customers better and cheaper railroad faeilities, the com- 
 pany has remoyed its headquarters to New York,

 One of our customers in Florida, seeing the above in our book circular and 
 
 finding opposition to our Roofing by Insurance agents in that state, wrote to 
 
 us for further information whereupon we submitted his letter to the Supt. of 
 the Board of Fire Underwriters, who wrote the following in reply:

 DEAR SIR: 
 
 Your letter dated Aug. 7th was handed me and am somewhat 
 surprised at the opposition on the part of the Insurance Co’s in your district 
 to this class of Roofing.” We have no complaints here. This roofing is 
 placed on the same footing with tin roofs among our Companies, for which 
 only a charge of 5c. is made, no additional charge made for Rubber Roofing 
 or no fears entertained as to its safety in case of fire. 
 
 Nearly all, if not a// of our large warehouses on the shore line of Brook- 
 lyn and New York are covered with this orasimilar roofing. These buildings 
 contain millions of dollars worth of goods. Specimens of Rubber Roofing 
 were presented to our committee long ago, and approved as I have stated, 
 making no greater charge than for a tin roof. I have seen experiments on 
 this roofing, by building fires on them without damage. In my own personal 
 experience, I can testify as to the value of this roofing. My own dwelling 
 house was covered with tin, and bothered me by continually leaking. Five 
 years ago I had this roofing put on, and never have had a drop of leak 
 aince. I do not know how I can make myself understood in a stronger 
 manner, if my former letter was weak. The roof was ranked good by our 
 Board, and no change has been made I know, for I am the party who would 
 have promulgated such change. 
 
 I trust my statement will help you. 
 
 Yours truly, 
 
 JAS. HARRISON, Supt. 
 DIRECTIONS FOR USING RUBBER ROOFING. 
 
 Board the roof close, as shown ‘in cut. Sweep clean of all nails, chips, ete. Commence at 
 the caves (or gutter), nail the lower edge once in two inches, using ordinary lath nails with 
 thin heads, shielded with tin caps. Let the second sheet lap over the first about two inches, 
 and nail as before, and so repeat. 
 
 Great care should be taken to fit the Felt closely around the sky-lights, scuttles, chimneys, 
 gutters, bulk-heads, flag poles, etc., and when used around such places should be turned np 
 two inches and carefully factened, with lath, boards or cleats, using Cement freely, 
 
 When the felt is all properly laid and fastened, then commence at the npper part and coat 
 the entire surface with Slate Roofing Paint. After two or three days apply another coat, and 
 then sprinkle freely wiih clean, dry sand, immediately after the Paint is applied. Use as 
 much sand as the Paint will abserb

 The Grades of Rubber Rooting 
 
 are Three, which are distinguished as “Temporary” Rubber Roofing, ‘* Num- 
 ber Two” Rubber Roofing, and ‘‘Number Three” Rubber Roofing. All are 
 supplied ready for use: will shéd water rapidly, and are odorless when paint- 
 ed; no heavy weight of *‘gravel’’ is required on genuine Rubber Roofing, and 
 no ‘‘heating” is required in applying gemuzne Slate Paint. 
 
 Rubber Roofing is only the foundation for something else (like tin or iron :) 
 put the material on properly: paint two coats: sand as directed, and you have 
 a good, water tight and fire-proof roof with amy of our materials. When the 
 sand has worn off (which will not be for several years) paint one coat and sand 
 again ; this protects surface and keeps it water-tight. 
 
 “TEMPORARY” RUBBER ROOFING 
 is of one thickness, and is principally used for semporary roofs: it is put up in 
 rolls of 325 square feet, and covers (including lap) 300 square feet of surface. 
 It should be lapped two inches, and can be fastened down with cleats nailed 
 two feet a part (common /a¢# running up and down will do nicely.)

 This makes a good and low priced roof for one or two years without paint, 
 price $4.50 a roll, or we furnish Temporary Rubber Roofing, including nails, 
 caps and paint for ove coat for $6,00 per roll. This gives you complete mater. 
 ial for TWO CENTS A SQUARE FooT. We advise the paint, difference being only 
 half a cent a square foot, and Temporary Rubber Roofing will then last fwce 
 as long as if not painted. 
 
 Will Slate Roofing Paint effect cistern water ? is often asked by parties who 
 reserve rain water for domestic purposes: in this connection we state that where 
 any roof requires a coating of any kind, rain water should be turned off from 
 the cistern until after the first few rains. Slate Roofing Paint is no exception, 
 although it is formed of the purest ingredients possible to procure. Slate is 
 clean, odorless; Sand is one of the best filters of water; there is nothing in 
 Slate Roofing Paint injurious to the health of man or beast. If water is re- 
 served, turn it off from the cistern until after the first few rains, and no percep- 
 tible effect on cistern water will result: the paint becomes hard and the sand 
 over second coat of paint) soon asserts its superigrity, as a purifier of water. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 In exposed and windy places we recommend battings, or cleats, to run up and down 
 the roof, as shown in the above cut. They can be laid 15 to 30 inches apart, and 
 nailed with heavy nails, so ‘as to have good holdin the sheeting boards. Common 
 laths will answer the purpose, except at the end or edges of the roof; for these we 
 advise strips one inch thick and two inches wide. The latter should be put on all our 
 roofs, after laying the Rubber and before painting. When cleats are used, paint the 
 roof in strips, and lay the cleat in the green paint, and nail. When thisis done, paint 
 the entire roof, cleats and all, as directed on another page. 
 
 RUBBER ROOFING 
 
 as made by us at our own factory, is prepared from felt, of a pure wool fibre; this is 
 saturated in a compound which renders it entirely 1nPpERVIoUs to water; it is then 
 rolled and re-rolled, under hydraulic pressure, until leaving our machinery it appears 
 as a strong, compact, cleanly and pliable material, fitted for use wherever a weather- 
 proof roof is wanted. 
 
 THE RUBBER ROOFING forms the base of our roof, which is yet to be 
 completed by the application of two coats of SLATE ROOFING PAINT (last 
 coat sanded,) and we have no hesitation in saying that this roof, when kept painted, 
 will last as long as the very best Tin roof, and without their liability to constant 
 leakage. 
 
 We commend these materials for use— 
 
 1Ist—On Dwelling Houses, Barns, Stables and @ut-Houses of all 
 kinds, confident that. they will give satisfaction wherever a durable and reasonably 
 cheap weather-proof roof is wanted, ' 
 
 2d—On Churches, Theatres, Warehouses, Railroad Depots, 
 Bridges, and all kinds of large buildings. 
 
 Norr.—The noise caused by rain and hail on metal roofs, is leading the principal 
 architects of the countr~ to discard those metals, and substitute our Rubber Roofing, 
 which is noiseless. 
 
 3d—On Factories, Foundries, Mills, Machine Shops and Round 
 [Engine] Houses, Chemical Works, Glass Factories, €e. 
 
 Notr.—For this class of roofs we claim for our materials special merits. Owing to 
 the vibration of the building, caused by the action of heavy machinery, it bas here- 
 tofore been found difficult to keep the roofs in order. Especially are tin roofs liable 
 to be broken and drawn apart, by reason of the forces of contraction and expansion 
 caused by the ever-varying temperature acting in connection with the vibration caused 
 by the machinery. In addition to which the fumes arising from the chemica: in 
 gredients used in factories, and the steam from engines and boilers unite in destroying 
 Tin roofs by corrosion. These causes have no effect on our Rubber Roofing. 
 
 4th—On All Classes of Roots, whether Flat or Steep, 
 
INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 FOR-PREPAIRIN GRRE ANG © ae 
 
 WITH 
 
 SLATE ROOFING PAINT AND CEMENT. 
 
 Stir the paint thoroughly immediately before and while using. 
 
 The various colors of our Slate Roofing Paint are all of one quality. 
 
 Never apply paint to other than a dry surface. 
 
 Cement must in all cases, be carefully applied about the chimney copings, and elsewhere it 
 needed. We prefer having this part done about a week before the roof is painted. 
 
 OLD SHINGEES ROOGES, 
 
 Remove moss or other rubbish ; nail down all loose shingles, or those badly warped : apply 
 Cement with a trowel or piece of shingle to all crevices which show sign of leaking, also about 
 the chimney. Where new shingles are required it is often better to insert pieces of tin 3x6, 
 which answeres all purposes, and will not disturb several old shingles, as the insertion of a new 
 shingle would. When complete and perfectly dry, give entire roof a heavy coat of Slate Paint,. 
 which fills up the holes and pores, prevents snow or water “‘setting back,” preserves the shingles, 
 makes them fire-proof, and gives entire roof the ornamental appearance of S/ate. 
 
 FLAT SHINGGE, ROOES: 
 
 e 
 First require Cement liberally applied to all holes or fissures and about the chimney: second, a 
 heavy coat of Paint, Should this not stop all leaks, examine roof carefully to see if you did 
 not omit the Cement in some places: if not apply a second heavy coat of Paint. § These roofs 
 require more Cement and Paint than others, and are more difficult to make wafer-tight, as car- 
 penters and house-owners well know. The roof having no proper “‘fall,’”’ a solid barrier imper 
 vious to water must be given the surface, to prevent leaks. 
 
 CANVAS ROOFS 
 
 Can often be made water-tight by applying one heavy coat of Slate Paint. Such roofs are large- 
 ly used as temporary coverings on boats, cars. wagons, and buildings. 
 
 FELT OR: ASBESTOS.) ROOFS: 
 
 Repair all unsound places with new felt or canvas and our Cement, first working latter into and 
 under the cracks, then apply a heavy coat of Slate Paint, | which will keep the felt pliable and 
 usally prevent any further cracking. ° 
 
 FELT AND GRAVEL. 
 
 First remove all loose gravel in the locality of the leaks : ifthe cause of the leak cannot be 
 found, cover a space two or three feet around where the leak appears about + of an inch with Ce- 
 ment; a few days later, paint. over the Cement, then replace the gravel. 
 
 TIN OR. IROMBROGES. 
 
 First remove all portions of paint and accumulated rubbish as thorougiily as possible, then 
 sweep the roof clean , examine every part carefully ; fill all holes and crevices with Cement and 
 
 finish by painting entire roof. 
 SLATE ROOFS. 
 
 Remove all loose slates; partially fill space with Cement, and press slates back into position ; 
 use small pieces of tin (if necessary) under or between the slates: carefwlly repair about the 
 chimney with our Cement. Should this not stop all leaks, apply a heavy coat of paint to entire 
 
 roof. 
 : MATCHED BOARD ROOFS. 
 
 Fill the grooves with Cement, thus forming an even surface; two weeks later apply a coat of 
 Slate Paint over entire roof. For new roofs of this material, it is better to paint the tongue, 
 which will cement she grooved part, and form a water tight joint.

 SLATE ROOFING PAINT! 
 
 sa-FIRE-PROOF. WATER-PROOF. DURABLE. NO HEATING REQUIRED. 
 MIXED READY FOR USE. ° 
 
 The Best in the World for Tim, Iron & Shingle Roofs, 
 
 
 
 Tested fifteen years, and used on nearly all the roofs in New York, Philadelphia and 
 Cincinnati, as well as on the principal depots in the United States. 
 
 The paint is elastic, will expand and contract, with heat or cold, will not crack, peel or scale; 
 being slate, will not rust or corrode. It will protect, preserve and improve rough wood work, 
 and for brick walls it is the only reliable Paint ever introduced, that will effectually prevent 
 dampness from penetrating and discoloring the plaster. 
 
 On decayed shingles, it fills up the pores and gives a new and substantial roof, that lasts for 
 years. Curled or warped shingles it brings to their places, and keeps them there. Although 
 a slow dryer, rain does not effect it. Our Paint, which (for shingle roofs) is chocolate color, 
 -when first applied, but soon changes to a uniform slate color, and is, to all intents and pur- 
 poses slate, and proof against burning embers, as can be easily tested. 
 
 On tin roofs our red color is usually preferred, as one coat is equal to five of -any ordinary © 
 
 aint. 
 ‘ For Factories, Founderies, Mills, Machine Shops, Warehouses, Engine Houses, Freight 
 Cars, Depots, Farm and Seaside buildings, Bridges, Stables, Fences, etc., ete., it is expressly 
 recommended.

SUGGESTIONS 
 
 TO REAL ESTATE OWNERS, TRUSTEES AND AGENTS. 
 
 All Roofs Should be Kept in Order. This is a statement to which no excep- 
 tion can be taken. Necessity compels attention. The repairs of the old roof may be delayed, 
 but the leak , when it develops, requires immediate attention. Neglect is hazardous. The 
 storm of a single night may cause hundreds of dollars of Gamage to furniture, merchandise 
 or crops. It may even cause the ruin of a costly frescoed ceiling, and its fall, with the con- 
 sequent damage to elegant carpets and ornaments. 
 
 Examine Your Own Roofs. Jo it yourself and don’t tell any one else to do it 
 for you. If it needs repairs you may be sure that there is no economy in delay, a few dollars 
 spent at once will often save an old roof, protecting the property within, and improving the 
 sppearance without. 
 
 Why Will You Allow Your Roots to Decay and go to Ruin, when you 
 are so careful of your clapboards and sidings? these you paint and keep in good repair, 
 because without it they offend the eye, and you reap the benefit in appearance as well as the 
 fact that they last a life time. 
 
 Why Not Make Your Roof Last a Life-Time, and save the expense of a 
 new roof every ten or fifteen years? 
 
 It Can Be Done with even less expense and care than you bestow on your sidings, 
 because our roofing materials cost less. If you are careful to use genuine Slate Paint, and 
 have it thoroughly applied, it will not only resist the effects of: water and wind, but will go 
 very far towards shielding you from the consequence of fire. 
 
 See pages headed **Slate Roofing Paint,” *‘Leaky Boofs Made Good,”’ 
 and **Instructions.”’ 
 
 or 
 
 FARMERS! 
 
 Roofs that leak are costly property. You can not afford them. The damage to your 
 housed crops, which result from one storm, is often more than the cost of putting your barn 
 roofin order. The yearly decay of agricultural machinery and implements, arising from 
 leaky roofs on out-houses, would more than pay the cost of roofing every crib, shed and 
 store-house on your farm. Your stock suffers from the dripping of your stable roof, 
 and the necessity of their lying in wet stalls. These evils affect property, but when your 
 house roof leaks it is worse yet—then comfort departs, and you have a garret full of pails’ 
 and pans to catch the steady streams; there are wet ceilings and falling plaster; there is 
 spoiled furniture, damp bedding, and rheumatism; there is the anxious wife, wearied with 
 running up stairs to guard against new leaks; it is decay, and ruin, and property wasted. 
 You can not afford it. Our Slate Roofing Paint will end your difficulties and make your 
 
 roofs water-tight. For new roofs, our Rubber Roofing, covered with Slate Roofing Paint, 
 gives satisfaction to anyone.

 DIRECTIONS FOR LAYING ON STEEP ROOFS, 
 
 1st.—Begin at the top, having centre of first roll cover the ridge and extend over the edge 
 of roof about 1} inches, 
 
 2a.—Unroll next layer, and snap a chalked Jine two inches from the upper edge, slide the 
 econd layer under the first, and secure by nailing through our metal caps. Always begin in 
 the centre of the roof and nail along the lap to each end. The chalked line is necessary to 
 obtain a uniform lap entire length of roll; otherwise you may nail the roofing crooked, and 
 to straighten it ridges are formed ;—the next layers are put on in the same manner 
 
 8d.—With our Extra Roofing Brush apply the first coat of Slate Roofing Paint on the 
 ' three layers; then proceed laying the roofing Our object in so painting is that we are not 
 continually tramping over the work

 Sree GENERAL REMARKS OPPOSITE PaAageE, 
 
Leaky Roofs Made Good. 
 
 In all parts of the country are sheds and storehouses of mgny thousands of 
 square feet in extent which have been covered with metal and shingle roofs at a 
 great cost. Especially is this true of the cotton and tobacco sheds of the South, 
 and the great storehouses along the Western rivers. In course of time they have 
 come to leak in so many places as to seriously damage what they should protect. 
 To repair them or to remove them and substitute another metal or shingle roof in- 
 volves a large expense and many weeks of valuable time. Besides, in many places, 
 it is with great difficulty skilled labor can be had in sufficient quantity to put on 
 
 these new roofs between storms. 
 
 To repair such roofs quickly, surely and cheaply, has been to us, for a long 
 time, a difficult problem. We have, at length, solved it. We have found that a 
 heavy bodied Slate Roofing Paint, similar to that used for rubber roofing, but 
 heavier, just answers the conditions. The application is simple. First go care- 
 fully over the roof and note all the holes inthe shingles, or places rusted through 
 the metal. Paint them over with the Slate Roofing Paint, lay over them a piece 
 of felt or of cotton cloth, and then paint over the pieces with the Slate Paint. 
 
 (For large holes in the roof, or about chimneys, sky-lights, etc., we recommend 
 
 using our Slate Cement first, then paint and patch as above stated.) 
 
 When the roof has been thus thoroughly patched, give it a good covering of 
 Slate Roofing Paint. A roof so defective as to be impossible to repair in the usual 
 way can be made perfectly water tight and to last many years, The worst roofs 
 will need two coats of this valuable preparation. Anyone can apply it, for we fur- 
 nish it ready-mixed in any quantity, and it is easily applied with a good sized paint 
 brush, Correspondence is invited with the owners of such roofs, and estimates fur- 
 
 nished, or we will send men to repair them within any reasonable distance 
 
 For quantity of paint required, see general remarks. 
 
 ACENTS.

THE TORNADO 
 
 Which struck Cache Valley on the 23rd and .24th of April, 1883, last, convinced the 
 
 RUBBER ROOFING 
 
 Was the only covering which people could rely upon when tempests blow. 
 
 This memorable storm caused much damage to the roofs of numerous prominent buil- 
 dingsin Logan and Cache Valley. Many buildins covered with tin and iron were considera- 
 bly damaged, if not compietely stripped of their roofs, while the Celebrated RUBBER 
 ROOFING in no single instance failed to stand the test. 
 
 
 
 Herein practical demonstration convinced all interested where safety lay in the matter of 
 Roofing. Theory and practice are very different matters, and the owners of buildings who 
 have in the past pinned their faith to tin roofing found that the ‘‘ blizzard” left them out in 
 the cold. The result is, that owners of lost roofs premptly decided to replace with the RU B- 
 BER ROOFING, as in this case it proved itself to be the most secure covering extant. One 
 man said, ‘“* No more of that kind of rubbish (tin) on my house.” 
 
 Wherever the RUBBER ROOFING has been introduced it has proved itself to be the 
 most durable fire-proof roofing in the market, besides being the cheapest.

 GENERAL REMARES. 
 
 ge If you will send us the size of your buildings to cover, and the pitch of roof, we will 
 send you an estimate cost for complete materials. 
 
 Ja When you order ten squares Roofing COMPLETE, you get enough Rubber to cover ten 
 squares of surface, including the laps, fifteen gallons Slate Roofing Paint, ten pounds Nails, 
 seven pounds caps. 
 
 “yarn ying Rubber Roofing, if by any accident a hole should be made in the Rubber, 
 put Cement over the hole, then a patch of Rubber six or, eight inches spuare, nailed all 
 around; do this after the main roof is laid and before painting. 2 : 
 
 One gallon Slate Roofing Paint covers 300 to 400 square feet tin or iron ; 50 square 
 feet old,or 75 square feet new shingles ; 10 square feet rough boards, or 200. square feet of 
 new smooth boards. This is about the quantity required; a flat shingle roof requires more.

 harbor vermin—can be used at any season, in any climate. 
 
 Whenever this Building Paper is required to lie smooth, it must be well dampened before using, and 
 BOTH EDGES of the sheet must be fastened at the same TIME, before rr 1s DRY. If you want to paste it on, 
 use the same paste that paper-hangers use, as strong as possible. <A little alum in it will keep it from 
 souring; a little carbolic acid might keep vermin fromit. Paste on like wall-paper, only with this 
 difference: After the paper is cut and fitted, thoroughly paste it and lay aside to soak, Cover the lath or 
 boarding with paste; then again paste the paper, and apply same as paper-hangers do. You can tack the 
 corners, if you want to.

 Our Liquid House Paints, 
 
 We call your attention to our Nassau Liquid Paints—ready for immediate use 
 on opening packages. We confidently offer these goods to consumers and the trade, as the 
 very best that are “made—for the following reasons : 
 
 COVERING CAPACITY —These Paints being made from the Best materials 
 will consequently | cover better and more surface than those that contain barytes or clay 
 which add to the “‘ weight’ without increasing the body or covering quality. 
 
 PERMANENCY OF COLOR.—Great care being taken to use only permanent 
 colors, our Tints do not fade and change color after being applied, as is the case where the 
 only object i is to get the tint, wihout reference to proper combination of Permanentcolors. 
 
 CON VENIENCE.—Any one ‘ who can use a paint brush” can apply them. Cus- 
 tomers can select tints, and, if additional quantity is wanted, can always rely on getting same 
 shade, and not have two or three shades on same building as is often the case where tints 
 are made experimentally. 
 
 ECON OM Y.—Being ready for use, there is no waste or excess of material, as is almost 
 always the case where the customer buys Lead, Oil and Turpentine. 
 
 With our goods he can get the right quantity and use it all up. 
 
 We put these Paints up in packages, from Cans, 4, 1, 2,3 and 5 gallons, to Kegs, 10, 15 
 and 25 gallons, and Barrels 45 gallons.

 A POSITIVE CURE FOR LEAKY ROOFS. 
 
 It is designed expressly for repairing breaks or nail holes in tin, metal or other Roofs, 
 pointing up and repairing about chimneys where tin joins to brick or wood-work, flashings, 
 copings, clapboards where houses join together, gutters, cupolas, dormer windows, skylights, 
 hot-house frames, decks, or bottoms of boats, aquariums, water troughs or tanks, leaks in 
 gas or water pipes, cementing seams in wood, stone or iron work, and in fact all places 
 required to be made Water-tight. , 
 
 It is chocolate color, contains no Tar or cheap oils, about the consistency of good putty, 
 ready for applying with knife, stick or trowel, is very adhesive, perfectly elastic, does not 
 injure water from moment of application, and cannot be’ washed off. This cement does not 
 crack, peel off or blister in hot or cold weather, does the same service and lasts longer than 
 Solder. After it is once applied, a skin commences forming over it, which soon becomes 
 tough and hard, this process continues until the whole assumes a toughness like sole leather, 
 and eventually becomes as durable as the article itself. One application being all that is 
 required when used according to directions. 
 
 ABSOLUTELY FIRE, WATER AND DUST-PROOF. 
 
 See that the surface to be mended is perfectly clean and dry ; then with a small trowel 
 or stick, take out as much cement as necessary and press well into the hole, crack or cavity, 
 always being mindful to cover up the whole leaky space thoroughly ; then add sufficient to 
 round off in the manner hereshown: © supposing the dot to be the leak or space mended. 
 
 In using the cement for pointing and mending, always, if possible, place it so that the 
 greatest amount of pressure will be on the top, instead of underneath it, and be sure to 
 follow above directions. Should the Cement become stiff or too hard for easy working, before it 1s 
 all used, warm and add a little oil or fat grease, and mix well together, then let cool. 
 
 Every farmer and householder should have a cam as with it, they can 
 do their own Roof repairing, and thus save many times its cost. It also preserves articles which 
 would otherwise be rendered worthless, and thrown away. 
 
 CENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 
 
 Metal Roofs.—Lach seam should be thoroughly examined, and wherever the slightest 
 crack, pin, nail hole or other break is found, apply the cement as above. 
 
 Shingle Roofs.—lIf the shingles be old and rotten, tear them off and put new ones 
 on; ifin good condition, find about where the leak is, then look for a knot-hole, split, crack 
 or check in a shingle, about the place it over-laps a seam between two other shingles, above 
 and below, so that there shall be no chance for the water to soak through to the rafters. 
 
 Chimneys.—Clean away the mortar,*if the cavity should be very large, fill with rags 
 or anything for a foundation, and apply plenty of cement on top and all around wherever 
 there is an indication of a leak, being sure to press edges of cement down to the brick, stone 
 or wood work, in all cases. 
 
 Skylights & Scuttles.—Press plenty of cement all around the two sides and top 
 of skylight where it connects with the roof, or wherever a leak may show itself; should the 
 putty about the giass be old and loose, clip it all out clean, and add cement in the same 
 manner as putty is applied. 
 
 Copings.—Stop all joints between the stones by pressing cement well in and rounding 
 off as above; when the coping is close to the roof, fill up underneath the same, so that 
 water mav not beat up over tin or metal. ‘ e 
 
 Leaky Joints.—Where additions are built to main houses; or about bay windows, 
 etc., rain is frequently blown up under a clapboard; when such is the case, cement well all 
 along the lower edge of the clapboard where tin runs under. 
 
 Mending Wooden Gutters, Water Troughs, &c.—Spread cement all along 
 
 seam on inside, and let stand ulay or two before letting water on. 
 Wash Tubs, Pails, &e.—Press the cement into leaky places and let stand with- 
 out using several days so that the same mav become thoroughly knit to the metal or wood. 
 
 If placed inside hot water is apt to render the skin tender so that clothes, sticks. dippers, etc., 
 may scrape it off if not careful. ‘Tim, Wooden or other Ware not used over or about a 
 fire.—Mav be repaired with equal facility and safety. 
 
 Leaky Water or other Pipes.—Press plenty of the cement into and over the 
 entire cavity, wrap a cloth around tight and tie it well with a string, this after a day or two 
 will withstand a pressure of 190 /bs. to the square inch.

What a Practical Roofer Says: 
 Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 7th, 1882. 
 
 ““T have used over half a million square feet of your Rubber Roofing in the last two 
 years, both Single and Three-ply, and several hundred barrels Slate Roofing Paint in the last 
 twelve years, My business is that of a general roofer, often employing hundreds of men 
 in the South and West, as well as in this city, and I have the first instance to find im which 
 it has failed to give satisfaction. My experience shows that it is superior to tin or iron for 
 roofing, as frost will not pull the seams or joints apart, as in tin, nor wil] snow er heavy 
 rains blow through or penetrate joints or connections, as in iron. It will resist winds better, 
 and is not so easily blown off as metal roofs. In manufacturing establishments, distilleries, 
 foundries, machine shops, sugar mills, or wherever steam is used, moisture, injurious gases 
 or alkalies on roofs, as in cotton-seed oil mills, I find that metal roofs will not at all compare 
 with your materials. There is no condensation of steam, vapors or moisture under your 
 roofing, as there is under metal, slate or shingle roofs; therefore there is no water dropping 
 on goods or machinery, no rusting of roofing or rotting of timbers and wood from this cause. 
 It is light. and frost cannot crack it, as it does slate, in cold climates, and it is almost absolute- 
 ly fire-proof from adjoining burning buildings, which I have recently seen tested. Sparks 
 can not set it on fire, and for this reason it is preferable to shingles. 
 
 I cheerfully recommend your Roofing for its durability, lightness, cheapness, and fire- 
 proof qualities, and can unhesitatingly say, that ifapplied by men of mechanical intelligence 
 or experience, it can not fail to prove a success,’ 
 
 18 South Mississippi St. G. C. FORSINGER. 
 
 It is with great pleasure to us that we insert in these pages the above, from one of the 
 oldest and best-known roofers in the south-west. He is a general roofing contractor, and 
 speaks and writes understandingly on the subject, and would be pleased to correspnd with 
 any one having roofs to cover, with our material or tar ahd gravel, with a view of laying 
 them in any part of the United States. 
 
 “‘T take pleasure in saying to whom it may concern, that I have used the Rubber Roof- 
 ing, and find it as recommended. 'To my customers it gives satisfaction. For myself I prefer 
 it to tin, as it will stand on paper Mills and forge shops, where there is plenty of gas, which 
 destroys tin or iron in a short time. The demand for Rubber Roofing is increasing with me, 
 and.I expect in another year to use a great quantity, as I make aspecialty of roofing.”

 29 Years.Experie®™ce. One Coat Slate Paint Stops all Leaks Where all 
 Other Paints Have Failed. Rubber Roofing the Very Best. 
 
 ‘“‘T have not been in any hurry to express my opinion in regard to your Rubber Roofing 
 and Slate Paint. I have had 29 years in repairing and painting tin and slate roofs, deckings, 
 etc. I must acknowledge that your Slate Paint, has the best covering body of any mineral 
 paint that I have ever used; one coat is equal to 3 or 4 of ordinary paint ; the Rubber Roof- 
 ing makes one of the very best of roofs, it is soft, pliable and elastic, noiseless in the severest 
 rain storms, and does not expand and contract like tin. 1 have used your Roofing Paint on 
 a job where other paint and ‘coal tar’ have been used and failed to stop theleaks. I applied 
 one coat of the Roofing Paint and stopped all leaks. I think if people knew the good qualities 
 of Rubber Roofing, they would not use anything else.”

 use required of them. One put on a year ago had a severe test at a fire by brick, slate and 
 burning timbers falling upon it. Roof was afterwards found to have received no injnry.”

 “You ask my opinion of your Rubber Roofing. I put it on my wagon shop eighteen 
 months ago (Single-ply), and it is giving good satisfaction. If I was to build, would prefer 
 your roofing to any other. It makes a light roof, and think a durable one. If taken care of 
 it is also cheap, but on a fine residence I would prefer your Three-ply, for it appears firmer.”

 “T can tell you frankly that J regard your best:quallty of roofing (Three-ply) as being

 than when I first used them.”

 “Mr. Stone handed me your circular, issued tu your patrons asking their opinion as to 
 the merits of your Rubber Roofing and Slate Roofing Paint. As our roofing was ordered 
 together, he authorized me tosay for him, and I cheerfully say for myself that it gives per- 
 fect satisfaction. We have splendid roofs on our buildings, and do not see how they can 
 fail if treated as directions say, viz: painted once in 4 to 6 years. It is much cheaper than 
 shingles, and so handy to put on. We will want lots more of it the coming year.”

 fell over onto the Rubber Roof, and then burnt up, as we found the ashes on the roof: your

 “Some nine years ago, having had great trouble from leaky roofs, I was induced, by the 
 representations made me to ‘try’ your Slate Roofing Paint. I first applied it to an old shin- 
 gle roof, so tender that any attempt to repair, by adding new to the old, was worse than use- 
 less, as it only ‘ made bad worse.’ Two applications of your Paint entirely stopped the leaks, 
 and for seven years following (of my occupancy) it remained ‘as good as new,’ so far as I 
 couldjudge. One year later I tried the Paint on atin roof, with equally gratifying results. 
 This roof, being nearly flat, and used as a place for drying clothes by a laundry, your Paint 
 was subjected to an unusually severe test. I found the Paint and Cement stopped the leaks 
 effectually and permanently. 
 
 Encouraged by these results, I applied your material to a slate roof, having for two seas- 
 ons previous failed to stop the leaks caused by water freezing under and breaking the slates. 
 I had sheets of tln driven under the slates, and by covering the breaks and joints with your 
 Paint and Cement, I was surprised that one application only effected a perfect cure. 
 
 I now want to try it on the brick wall ofa house through which dampness works at times, 
 and hope it will cure this also. Please ship barrel of Slate Paint suitable for this work, and 
 with it a ten-pound can Cement, for use around chimneys, ete.”

 known of your Roofing in southern Utah, I could have done well with it, for shingles are so

 ‘“Tn answer to your circular letter, I will say, that I have used considerable of your 
 Rubber Roofing on all kinds of roofs, both flat and steep, and it gives perfect satisfaction in

 “‘T have used your heavy Single-ply Rubber Roofing on a building 13x50 feet with six 
 inches rise, and think it the best roof Iever saw. I prefer it to tin or iron. It creates no 
 moisture and don’t make any noise in windy weather; and when well put on and painted 
 witn your Slate Roofing Paint, and sanded, I dont think any roof would equal it.”

 ‘J have covered over twenty-five buildings here the past season with your Rubber Roof- 
 ing. Given perfect satisfaction. Your Slate Roofing Paint is the best I have ever used on 
 old shingles to stop the leaks, as well as on tin and iron. JI have used mostly your heavy 
 Single-ply Rubber, but my own house is covered with your Three-ply, and people say I have 
 the best roof in town.” :

 ““T have used your Roofing, both Single and Three-ply. It gives good satisfaction. 
 Would recommend Three-ply as the cheapest and most durable for all kinds of roofs. Have 
 used it one year and it looks as good as when put on. With proper careI think it will last 
 as long as any other roof.” 
 
 ISAAC HILTY,

 “As to the materials used in your Roofing, my opinion is that it is the cheapest and 
 most durable roofing on the market. Would recommend it to all builders on any pitch roof, 
 but more especially on flat or pitch under one-*ourth. I have used it and the Slate Paint, and- 
 sound them No. 1.” ‘

 in my estimation.”

 ‘“To tell the public of a good fact, I wish to say, while I am a dealer and breeder in 
 Pedigree Jersey Cattle, we also use tin, iron, slate, and shingle roofing; and for cheapness, 
 convenience, and satisfactory durability, my experience favors to a demonstration that Rub- 
 ber Roofing and Slate Roofing Paint has no equal. The paint is good for timber, as well as 
 Rubber Roofing. I can’t say too much for your goods.” ;

 Gentlemen: 
 
 The Rubber Roofing you put on our buildings is satisfactory in every respect. We 
 were in doubt as to its fire proof qualities, at first, as a great many sparks from the Cupalo, 
 are continually falling upon it but after the trial of six months we consider it first class and 
 oan recommend it to all who want to get a good roof.

 Shingles may be “cheap,” but Rubber Roofing when painted - is 
 Fireproof. 
 
 Then it is ready for use, and any-body can apply it. Shingles 
 for flat roof are a total failure everywhere and always will be: Rub- 
 ber Roofing will give perfect satisfaction, (and can be laid over the 
 worthless shingles,) Slate Paint is made expressly for protecting and 
 preserving old shingles, felt, tin, iron or other roofs, and in connection 
 with Slate Cement will effectually stop leaks. 
 
 Slate Paint is Patented, and must not be confounded with Plastic 
 Slate Paint, Excelsior Slate Paint or any other imitation, all of which 
 are simply coal tar, and always Black: Genuine Slate Roofing Paint 
 is Red or Chocolate, no other color, and never Black. Reliable 
 Roofing for any building, large or small, can be obtained of us quickly, 
 
 cheaply, and in any quantity for — 
 
 Houses, Mills, _ Foundries, 
 
 Barns, Factories, Ware-houses. *
