 A Map of 
 “J-M” Asbestos Roofing 
 
A Roofing that 
 is Different 
 —and Why 
 
 ‘‘J-M’’ ASBESTOS ROOFING should not be 
 confused with the many so-called ‘prepared’ 
 roofings on the 
 market, as there is 
 asmuch difference 
 between them as 
 there is between 
 ASOe€S TOS and 
 “wool felt’. One 
 is practically in- 
 peta destructible and 
 
 CRUDE ASBESTOS the other is, by 
 
 Che Basis of ail our ‘Roojing nature, a perish- 
 able material 
 
 —especially when exposed to the elements. 
 
 The body fabric of ‘‘J-M’’ Roofing is pure, 
 long-fibred Asbestos—a natural mineral 
 fibre. Asbestos is the ideal material for 
 roofing—because it is absolutely fire and 
 acid-proof and practically indestructible. 
 
 ; It will not rot, rust or wear out. 
 
 A Mineral Joes not require painting to 
 
 Product keep it in condition;—the first 
 
 cost—the only expense. ‘There 
 
 is absolutely no wool felt, rag stock, shoddy 
 
 or similar organic materials used in its 
 
 make-up, although these perishable ma- 
 
 terials are the basis of all other prepared 
 roofings on the market. 
 
One of the many salient features of 
 ‘*‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing is that it requires 
 no coating or painting to preserveit. This 
 ere explains why ‘‘J-M’’ is the 
 No Painting obit per year’’ roofing. 
 Required Other grades of roofing usually 
 
 require painting every year 
 or two, which adds considerabiy to the cost 
 of the roofing, so that the lowest priced roof- 
 ing will in time prove the most expensive. 
 
 ‘“‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing acts as a natural 
 fire-retardant, and many buildings covered 
 with it, and our ‘‘Asbestoside,’’ have been 
 
 saved from destruction 
 
 Better than where adjacent buildings— 
 
 Fire Insurance not so protected, have 
 
 been totally destroyed. 
 
 We have on file hundreds of letters, testify- 
 
 ing to the high fire-resisting properties of 
 ‘“‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing. 
 
 PLANT OF B. F. GOODRICH CO., AKRON, O. 
 Covered with ‘‘]-M’’ Asbestos Roofing 
 
<d=M ASBESTOS MINES 
 
‘‘J-M’’ Roofing consists of several layers— 
 or plies, of pure long-fibered Asbestos, 
 which are cemented together with alternate 
 layers of pure Asphalt Cement—no coal tar 
 or pitch being used. The Asbestos comes 
 from our own asbestos mines in Canada— 
 
 among the largest in the 
 How ‘‘J-M’’ world. The Asphalt is 
 prepared in our own Re- 
 finery. Being made en- 
 tirely wrder owr own superviston, from 
 the crude materials into the finshed product, 
 we are able to maintain the same high stan- 
 dard which has inade all“ “j-M” =mnaterials 
 famous the world over.

 Covered with 
 **J-M’’ Asbestos — 
 Roofing 
 and ‘‘Asbestoside’’ 
 
 “‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing is absolutely 
 impervious to moisture, and water cannot 
 be forced through it, even tuder abnormal 
 pressure. Each layer—or ply, is thoroughly 
 saturated with ‘‘J-M’’ Weather-proofing 
 
 Compound, which is made 
 
 Weather-proof of the highest grades of 
 
 Properties asphalt. The Asbestos 
 
 weather-surface affords 
 
 absolute protection from the action of gases, 
 
 chemical fumes or acids, and, as a result, 
 
 ‘‘J-M’’ Roofing is the only kind which is 
 
 not affected by smoke, steam, acid fumes, 
 etc, 
 
 ‘‘J-M’’ Asbestos Roofing is easier to apply 
 
 than any other—because the mineral lap 
 
 cement (which is furnished free 
 
 Easily with each shipment) does not re- 
 
 Applied quire heating or any preparation 
 
 When used. We furnish galvan- 
 
 ized nails, lap cement and fwll instruc- 
 tions for applying with each shipment. 
 
“ASBESTOSIDE” 
 
 ‘‘ASBESTOSIDE”’ is a material for wall siding, 
 having many advantages over clap-boards, shingles 
 or metal siding. It is especially recommended for 
 factories, ice houses, store houses, automobile gar- 
 ages, poultry houses, barns, etc., because of its 
 high fire-resisting properties, permanent durability, 
 low cost and neat appearance. 
 
 ‘“Asbestoside’”’ possesses the highest fire-resisting 
 qualities, because the body fabric is pure asbestos felt. 
 It will not rot, rust or corrode, and requires no 
 painting or coating to preserve it. Its natural 
 white appearance gives an attractive finish to the 
 building, without any painting or other decoration. 
 A building covered with ‘‘Asbestoside’’ is cool in 
 summer, warm in winter, and comfortable at all 
 times. 
 
“KEYSTONE” 
 HAIR INSULATOR 
 
 “REMEMBER, IT IS CHEAPER TO BUILD A WARM 
 HOUSE THAN TO HEAT A COLD ONE” 
 
 Showing the Application of ‘‘Keystone”™~ 
 
 ‘“KEYSTONE’’ HAIR INSULATOR is an ideal lining 
 for the walls and floors of buildings, being equal in 
 insulating properties to ten layers of ordinary sheathing 
 paper. AS an insulation against heat and cold, and 
 as a sound dendener, it is far superior to building 
 felts or sheathing paper. ‘‘Keystone’’ is as easily 
 applied as one layer of ordinary paper. It outlasts 
 the building; remains elastic; will not pack down 
 or settle; fits odd corners, and is always flexible— 
 never brittle. 
 
 From the economic standpoint alone, ‘‘Keystone”’ 
 should be used, as it pays for itself many times over 
 in the saving of fuel, and has amply proven our 
 claim, that it is cheaper to build a ‘‘Keystone’’-lined 
 building than to heat one otherwise constructed. ‘The cost 
 of insulating an ordinary residence is about $35.00; 
 —less than one cent per square foot. 
 
 ‘*Keystone’’ will pay for itself in coal saviny witht: « 
 short time.
