 The flattering commendations of our Fire and Water Proof Coating 
 where applied in years past, confirms our faith in it as the best Coat- 
 ing yet invented for the preservation and protection of roofs, as an 
 
 object long desired. 
 
 This coating has stood the test of twenty years of competition with 
 numerous patent compounds, and now stands unrivaled as a protection 
 against fire and water. . In consequence of its well-earned popularity, 
 parties are trying to imitate this coating, and press upon the public 
 their inferior articles, with unblushing and persistent disregard of 
 truth and honesty. 
 
 The component parts of this preparation are of a powerful, penetrat- 
 ing nature, containing a large per cent of oxide of iron; and, when ap- 
 plied to old or new shingles, thoroughly penetrates them, filling the 
 pores and cracks of the wood with a solution that gradually hardens 
 and forms an elastic coating, shutting out moisture and rendering the 
 roof both fire and water proof. This material is not intended to form 
 a thick, heavy coating on the surface of the shingles to be washed off 
 by heavy rain, but to penetrate the shingles and close the pores against 
 moisture, which is so important in the process of preserving wood. 
 
 Without stopping to enumerate the many advantages which this 
 Roof Coating possesses over all others, we take pleasure in calling 
 
 your attention to a few of the many thousand testimonials, which we 
 
 have received, all of which serve to convince us that our Roof Coating 
 is all that we claim for it as regards durability, efticiency, ete.

 the satisfaction to state that I am pleased 
 with the result of my experiment in having 
 your Roof coating applied to the roofs of my

 of great benefit in preserving the roofs, as 
 well as a protection from falling burning cin- 
 ders, in case of the burning of adjacent 
 buildings. For these reasons, and the objects 
 stated, I take pleasure in commending it.

 Dear Sirs: I think your Roof Coating a 
 fine thing. The roof on my wagon-house 
 has not lost a shingle on account of wind 
 since you coated it. Your coating smoothed 
 the winding shingles down so that the wind 
 did not pick them off as it used to do.

 Yours of 6th received. The Roof Coating 
 you put on my buildings October last has not 
 been perceptibly affected by the weather. I 
 think it is an excellent thing on good sound 
 roofs. On old leaky roofs it is good if they 
 are well patched to stop the leaks. It is ab- 
 solutely waterproof, as the eaves drip with 
 the dew or slightest shower. It straightens 
 warped or crooked shingles to quite an ex- 
 tent, which helps to keep out driving storms 
 of sleet and snow. Snow slides off nearly as 
 readily as from slate or metal. It will not 
 take fire readily.

 do just as they agree to.

 soak, but it is all right in that respect now, 
 and the snow slips off freely. I have a house

 leak some ; but since your men patched it 
 and applied your roof coating it seems to be

 Gents: Your letter of Mareh 6th came in 
 due time. I have been away from home 
 which account for this delay in reply. As to 
 how I like the roofing paint, I notice that the 
 heavy snows and frosts of winter do not im- 
 pair the virtue of the paint. This clear, frosty 
 morning,(March 22,) as the sun come up, the 
 frost upon my barn roof dissolves, and water 
 drops from the eaves, as did the heavy dews 
 last fall; this proves positively that the 
 shingles absorb no water. I believe your 
 paint is a good thing. Yours truly,

 Dear Sirs: The work you did for me on 
 my house and barn roofs has stood the winter 
 without any marked change, and I think it is 
 a great benefit to buildings in winter, as the 
 snow will melt quicker and thereby save the 
 root from breaking down under the weight of 
 snow. I consider ita good preservation of 
 shingles and would recommend it for any 
 root, if not too poor. Would like to see you 
 if you come this way in the spring. 
 
 Yours truly,

 it for two reasons, viz: 
 
 1. Think it will preserve the roofs by mak- 
 ing them weather proof for the length of time 
 you state. 
 
 2. It adds fully one-half the cost to the 
 appearance of the buildings, as you put the 
 roofs in the best possible condition, by re- 
 moving all patched shingles and stopping all 
 leaks, before putting on the roofing, thus 
 making the buildings when completed all 
 uniform. Yours truly,

 my buildings last season Iam well pleased 
 with, and I think it will serve to preserve 
 the shingles, Another thing that I like it for 
 is that snow will not stay on the roofs that 
 are painted with it. A farmer near me had 
 his barn fall in the winter, completely de- 
 stroying it, owing to the heavy burden of 
 snow onthe roof. If he had applied your 
 roofing last summer, he would not have sus- 
 tained the loss of his barn. Yours truly,

 In reply to yours of the 19th, I will say the 
 roofing you put on for me last summer is 
 quite satisfactory so far. The roofs remain 
 good and do not leak. They were very poor 
 when you repaired them, so much so that I 
 intended to shingle most of them before I 
 putin my crops. I think they will remain 
 good for some years to come. Yours,

 that snow slides from it as from slate, and 
 summer dews drop from the eaves instead of 
 penetrating the shingles. Respectfully,

 unable to form any decided opinion of the 
 durability of your roofing preparation applied 
 last summer, the appearance of the roofs, as 
 far as I have noticed, give me no disappoint- 
 ment, and in one respect, that of taking the 
 warp out of shingles, exceeds my expecta- 
 tions, as I, in fact, did not give much weight

 give you an intelligent testimonial in regard 
 to your roofifg preparation, since its real 
 value can only be determined by time. Iam 
 well convinced, however, from my knowledge 
 of the elements of which it is composed, that 
 it will preserve roofs from decay if the roofs 
 are in a suitable condition for its application. 
 -It makes a smoother surface, as it corrects the 
 warp in the edges of the shingles, and asa 
 consequence roofs will free themselves much 
 more readily from snows.

 Gentlemen: The roof coating you applied 
 to our buildings a few years ago has resulted 
 as from our experience with it in the past led 
 us to expect it would. It has made for us, 
 out of roofs somewhat worn, a roof which is 
 satisfactory in all respects, and which will 
 last for many years to come. If we conclude 
 a trade fora foundry and machine shop at 
 Lebanon, N. H., now under negotiation, we 
 shall want the roofs treated by your process, 
 not only to preserve the roofs, but also for its 
 wonderful fire-proof qualities, which were so 
 strongly tested when the buildings adjoining 
 ours were burned two years ago. For this 
 purpose we consider your coating as safe as 
 slate and very much cheaper.

 remained tight where it leaked badly, but 
 surrounded as we are by buildings very liable 
 to burn, we have satisfied ourselves by many 
 tests that the coating on our building is ab- 
 solutely fire proof against sparks and burning 
 cinders, as much so as any slate roof, and at 
 far less cost. We expect to build a large 
 addition to our building soon, and should we 
 do so, we shall cover it with a cheap shingle 
 and as soon as possible want you to coat it 
 over with your preparation.

 have a branch of your business located in this 
 vicinity this spring and summer.  [Ifso, I 
 have several roofs, both shingle and _ tin, 
 which I would like coated with your prepar- 
 ation. I should be most happy to recom- 
 mend your Roof Coating, as the work you 
 did for me some ten years ago, also the work 
 you didon my cottage at Thousand Islands 
 about three years ago, has proved satisfactory, 
 and morethan Lanticipated. Anearly reply 
 will oblige, as I wish if possible to have this 
 work completed before I leave for my summer 
 vacation. Yours Truly, H. H. Warner. 
 
 
 
 
 
 WHAT arte 
 
 A shingle roof coated with this Roof Coat- 
 ing is preferable to a tin roof, as it never 
 cracks or scales, costs much less, and will 
 last three times as long without extra cost, 
 whereas other roofs require painting and 
 overhauling once in every three years, to 
 prevent rust and leaks. —Rome Sentinel. 
 
 It is an important and most useful article, 
 and promises to supercede every other kind 
 of roof paint that has been tried.—Warren 
 (O.) Chronicle, April, 1879. 
 
 PRESS SAY. 
 
 A good article does not lack appreciation. 
 We commend it to the attention of all prop- 
 erty owners, whether their buildings are in 
 repair or not.—American Manufacturer, New 
 York, June 25. 
 
 It is equally adapted for old and new shin- 
 gle roofs, rendering them impregnable to 
 sparks, and it preserves the shingles, The 
 coating is also for tin and iron.—Scientific 
 | American, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1879.
