THE PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO.,, Limiren, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Points Relating to Sheet Iron and Steel as a Roofing and Siding /Taterial. a _—— — — ~— CE ee me HEN used for siding little if any fault has been found by the consumer as a covering for sides of a building, except in the mechanical work of fitting around windows, doors and corners, (whether convex or concave), the rough and ungainly appearance does not effect the pro- tecting qualities, but it does not give the finish that is desired, that is easily overcome, as our im- proved devices allow the workmen to give the same appearance to this style of work, as is done with other materials. We have brought out new tools to facilitate work and néw styles of metal attachments that admit of fitting all openings and corners, just as neat and perfect, as is done by the carpenter or mason. What we wish to call the attention of our agents, consumers, patrons and all new inquiring customers, is the special point on using sheet iron or steel for roofing; this industry is new comparatively speaking, although, Sheet Iron has been used for roofing in this country for up- wards of 50 years, and in the early part dating back to 1840, all of this kind of material was im- ported from Europe, applied under European devices, the principal one being the wood center formed square, oval or what is now so widely known V Crimped, (the English styles are square and oval,) in some the sheets are formed at sides with a square Cap, and other styles under an in- dependent Cap, in both cases the result of one was just the same as the other, allowance for expan- sion and contraction was insufficient in both, the nails from their exposure to the elemefits wouldin time loosen, draw out, and cut the nail hole in the sheets or caps, much larger than when first driven, this would cause a leak, loosen the sheet and provide a way to admit both rain and wind, results leaky roofs, and some times by the loosening blow off. Later in years these devices were improved upon, bringing out the V Crimped, the advantage gained over the old way was very slight, as it has been open to the same defects, and to-day wherever used it gives more or less trouble. During the past eighteen years, many devices have been brought out and most of them found purchasers, and are to-day in the hands of capitalists who are manufacturing and furnishing the trade and consumers. During the past six years, heads of Corporations, Proprietors and in- ventors have seen the necessity of guarding against certain defects, that existed in all of the above mentioned Iron Roofing, that had the following devices for laying. 1st. Nailing through the sheets, whether in flat surface or on standing rib, riviting, indentations, etc., all of these by time and exposure have conclusively shown that they are imperfect as roofing devices, leaking, loosen- ing, expansion and contraction tears them from their fastening, and various other troubles arising. Therefore, the inventive genius of man has been heavily taxed to bring out a roof which can in a measure if not wholly obviate these defects, and the results are that one point has been definitely settled, that no Iron roof can be safely laid, unless supplied with a Standing Seam, and it will be shown upon inquiring that every manufacturer of Iron Roofing in the United States, makes what is known as a Standing Seam. This device alone cannot be patented, but device for.combining two roofing sheets together using a metal cleat is patentable, and there are probably forty patents, having as many different devices for binding the sheets and fastening them to the sheathing or rafters, all of them are superior to the old style V Crimped or Corrugated Iron, both of which fasten together, and to the rafters by nailing through their sides and end laps. Many consumers in differ- ent parts of the United States have become disgusted with Iron as a roofing commodity and ignore this material. We beg to differ with them in this matter, as our experience dates back to 1869, as producers of roofing material and the repairing of all kinds of defective roofs. Iron as a roofing material classes it itself next to slate, and in many cases is superior to slate, while it is far preferable to shingles, (either metal or wood) tin, tile or composition. /¢7s the Cheap- est, most durable and neatest roof now before the public, all things cousidered. But to substantiate all of these claims, a good device of mechanical construction and attachments, assisted by a skilled work- man must be employed. Whenever a complaint has come under our observations, we have inva- riably followed it up, and in every instance we have found the disfavors against Iron Roofing to be from the following causes: 1st. Manner of laying, defective, both in construction and the un- skilled workmen. 2nd. Two little attention applied to the construction of the roofing frame, (some devices will apply to only certain kinds of constructed frames,) poor judgment exercised 1n the style selected to use on the building it is for. 3rd. Badly constructed material. 4th. Poor quality of sheet iron, which would break in forming the joints. 5th. Too much economy used by the owner to put on acheap roof, not using the time and quality o m~ erial necessary to complete the work as it should be done. We could cite many cases covering tue above assertions but deem it unnecessary, as Iron for a roofing commodity has during the past ten years made great headway, and many points we mention here have been acknowledged by manufacturers and agents; and a great deal of time and money has been spent, through personal interviews, newspaper advertise- ments, circulars and postals, to break down the disfavor existing against Iron for roofing, and we are pleased to acknowledge that to-day Iron as a roofing material stands far ahead of all other kinds. There are 48 manufacturing firms in the United States as against ten all told eleven years ago, and nineteen years ago there were but four firms that manufactured Iron Roofing exclusively. Sales _last year were over 1,500,000 squares, as against less than 500,009 in 1879, and not 100,000 squares in 1875. The steady increase, with many improved devices, high character of Corpora- tions and Companies, merchantable shipping order in which the goods are packed or complete for shipment, perfection and uniformity of raw material furnished by sheet ironrolling mills, steady and increasing demand of this material, have caused the mill men to get expert labor, in sheet iron manu- facturing from Europe, and improved rolling and annealing devices enables them to furnish us perfect material, such‘as isknown as English smooth, soft annealed sheet iron. The reason why manufac- turers of Iron Roofing have catered to the consuming trade instead of the wholesale Metal Cos., Tinners and Roofers is this; the inquiry for roofing would be made to the roofer or tinner, (per- haps they had seen Iron Roofing on a neighbors building or had heard of it,) the reply to the in- quiry would be, that iron was of no account, they had sold it to some of their trade and it had given poor satisfaction, had to take it off, etc. Now the truth of all this is explained ina few lines. 1st. If they had used Iron Roofing and it had made a bad roof, in all probability it was because they did not know how to apply it, and would not take the interest for their custcmers and own good, to find out, make inquiry, study directions, have the proper tools, etc. 2nd. The profit is smaller in handling Iron Roofing than it is with tin or composition. 3rd. No interest is taken by them, as arule in new and improved roofing material and devices, they prefer to stay in the old rut, and hammer out a half living, no enterprise or energy, this does not apply to all, and we mean no offence. Life and energy, practical knowledge of all mechanical devices and tools must be mastered, to become a successful mechanic or merchant, do more business and make a less profit. Success is in the volume of trade, and is not in the profit of a single job. By the roofer and tinner ignoring the sale, we as manufacturers were obliged to reach the consumer and plead our cause, nine times out of ten we would make the sale, and the resident roofer soon saw that he was robbing himself by trying to break up the Sheet Iron Roofing Manufacturers, and of late years they have willingly accepted the agency of different manufacturers, so that at this late day we commence to supply the trade with our goods, and they became proficient in the laying, keep all the improved tools and appliances necessary, instruct their workmen or helpers, and this insures to the consumer a first-class job, one that will recommend itself and create larger sales throughout their district and territory. We have tried for the past three years to accomplish this, as we saw, selling direct to the consumer caused a great deal of trouble, and it necessitates of our keeping a large force of skilled metal workers the year around, at high wages, to send throughcountry to apply the goods sold, although it made a loss to us in the beginning, we are now reaping the benefit, and every month we make many agents throughout the States who are skilled mechanics, and they sell more goods for us, than we formerly sold when in contact with the consumer. And what we wish to accomplish is this; to get a good responsible agent in every city or town, in all the states, then the consumer is doubly assured of getting good and reliable work done, while the manufac- turer is represented by parties who can pay for their goods and do work of a class that will insure the payment of it when finished. Without any fault or discounts, we also educate our agents what kind of roofing is suitable for the building intended to be roofed. This is a great point to be able to decide, and various disfavors have arisen by the wrong kind of devices being used. Corrugated /ron is only fitted for Siding, and Standing Seam for Roofing. We claim (and justly) that our late patented devices and improved machinery and tools, enables any skilled roofer to lay our goods, with greater speed, less loss of material and time, better results, more perfect de- vices for flashing on all parts of the roof, than any other patents now before the public. We make a larger variety than any one Company in the United States. Can give our agent full territory pro- tection, and with the advantage of superior merits, he can make sales at larger figures than his competitors can. We defy competition of all styles, ours cannot be equalled by any, and our as- sertions are proven beyond a doubt, when comparisons are made by competent and unbiassed judges. We increased our sales last year through regularly established agents eighty-five per cent over 1888. We make 62 different styles of Metal Roofing, Siding, Ceilings, etc., all of which are good for the purpose intended. When you want a roof correspond with us, and if we have no resident agent in your County we will advise you which kind to use, and send a competent man who will establish an agent in your nearest town or city, instruct him how to apply our goods and he (the agent) will take your order, do the work, and give you the finest roof that can be had for the least money.

To tHE Epitor :—Noticing in the /ron Age of the gth inst. an article, ‘“The Life of an Iron Roof,” I would state that my barn is covered with an iron roof which was put on in 1846. This roof is the ordinary standing groove, and, beyond painting every three or four years and some slight repairs caused by the blizzard last March, has cost nothing since it was put on. We havea house in Wilmington that has a similar roof, put on in 1850, and, except on occasional painting, has cost nothing for repairs. An adjoining tin roof of about same size, put on at same time as the iron roof, has required as much painting as the iron roof and cost over $1oo additional on repairs. Both the iron roofs above mentioned are in perfect condition to-day. Very respectfully, J. R. BRINGHURST. O Mr. W. A. Meninger, of Covington, Ky., who has had upward of thirty-five years’ experi- ence in the roofing trade in that vicinity, on the life of an iron roof. Mr. Meninger stated that in 1856 he put up a corrugated-iron roof on what was then known as the Clayton Young House, at No. 33 West Fifth street, Covington, which is now occupied by the sisters of Notre Dame as a school. This root did first-class service and gave good satisfaction until about ten years ago, when, upon some changes being made in the building, it was taken off. The material composing it has since been sold to different parties and is now in use for covering various sheds, stables and other small buildings in Covington and vicinity. In 1861 Mr. Meninger covered the Charles Wh tcomb House, adjoining the Fourth Street Presbyterian Church, with corrugated iron. This oof is doing perfect service to-day. The expense for repairs, and even repainting, has been hardly worth mentioning. THE PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO., Lrurrep, PHILADELPHIA, PA. 3 In 1863 he put a similar roof of corrugated iron on a brick building erected for Mr. George Phillips, who then owned the property, the lot being now occupied by the Fourth Street Presby- terian Church. Mr. Phillips manufactured and prepared the materials himself in his rolling mill. The building has been used as a dwelling house most of the time since then, and this roof has answered its purpose admirable. It is now in a remarkable good state of preservation, consider- ing that it has had no attention in the way of repairing for a number of years. ; Mr. Meninger also cited the history of a number of old-time iron roofs with which he is per- sonally acquainted. The old Howe warehouse on Market space had over it for over thirty years an iron roof. After affording complete protection for this long period, and over an almost flat sur- face, it was removed about three years ago. The Licking Rolling Mill has a corrugated iron roof which has been on it for over twenty-five years, and to Mr. Meninger’s certain knowledge, it has never had a coat of paint since it was first puton. The Kentucky Central Railroad shops in Covy- ington were originally furnished with a corrugated iron roof, which remained for over twenty-three years in a good state of preservation, and was only recently removed on the occasion of some re- pairs and changes. [| Extract from Metal Worker.) ° HOUSES OF STEEL PLATE. A very favorable account is given in the French papers of the new system of building houses of steel plates, introduced some time ago by M. Danly, manager of the Societe des Forges de Chateleneau, and who has set forth its various advantages in an interesting and plausible manner, attracting considerable attention. M. Danly has satisfactorily ascertained that corrugated sheets, of no more than 1 mm. in thickness, are sufficiently strong for building houses several stories high, and the material used allows of quite a variety of architectural ornamentation. The plates thus employed are of the finest quality, steel and charcoal iron; and, as they are wel painted or gal- vanized after they have been cut to the sizes and shapes required, no portion is left exposed to he atmosphere. It is asserted that houses constructed in this manner are very sanitary, and that the necessary ventilating and heating arrangements can be readily carried out. [Extract from Jron Age and Metal Worker, August 16, 1888. | 1@) MaRSHALLTON, DEL.,*Sept. 17, 1888. To THE Epiror:—Since the article, ‘“The Life of an Iron Roof,” appeared in Zhe Jron Age, I have received numerous inquiries for further particulars concerning the roofs alluded to. If it will interest your readers, please say that the sheathing used was made of stock boards, laid as closely 2s possible. The under side of the metal had two good coats of paint, but was not other- wise protected, and, as far as I can observe, has not rusted. The gauge of iron used was No, 26. The cleats on the standing seams are not exposed. Mr. Caleb Marshall, who owned this property from 1837 to 1861, informs me that I made an error in my statement on August 14th, in that that the barn roof was put on in 1840, and not in 1846. have about 75,000 square feet of iron roofing, which, after many years of service, has been very satisfactory. Yours respectfully, J. R. BRINGHURST. THE PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO.,, Limrrev, PHILADELPHIA, PA, | *=IRON * AND + STEEL + ROOFING.=# —+>4<+—_ RDINARY black Sheet Iron painted, has been used for Roofing purposes in both Europe and America, for more than a Century past, and by practical tests and comparisons with other roofing materials, has proven itself to be the best for all general purposes, where perfect sh ep from the elements, combined with durability and economy are carefully consid- ered. A new era is now opened in Iron Roofing, by the use of a fine quality of sheet iron, and the application of new and improved devices for fastening the sheets. The enormous quantity of Iron that has been used for roofing purposes during the last half of the present decade evinces the high regard with which it is looked upon by the general public. They have learned that Goon sheet iron of suitable weight or thickness, will if properly laid and taken care of, give more satisfactory results than any other known roofing material. It is the most practical; it is the most economical ; and is destined to drive from the market Tin, Shingles, Slate and Tiles. =~ —*We will say for the information of those who are not familiar with the lasting qualities of iron roofing, that there are now in existance in many cities and towns throughout this country, iron roofs in excellent state of preservation, that were laid between 20 and 50 years ago, and have had no repairs made upon them since, having been cared for by coating with metallic paint once within every three to five years. This sets at rest any claim that they rust out. We have within the last seventeen years, or since 1869 laid hundreds of iron roofs that are yet in first-class condition and doing the property owners good service. All iron roofing sheets are heavily coated with metallic paint on both sides before laying, and as there zs no wear upon the under side, a periodical coat of paint on the upper surface will pre- serve them indefinitely. Iron Roofing is Fire Proof and its application to a building reduces the rate of insurance fully one-third as a rule, and in towns poorly provided with fire apparatus as much as one-half to two- thirds. It is a perfect protection where fire originates in adjoining or surrounding buildings, and in the event of a fire originating within a building so covered, the roof timbers alone can be burned, the iron roof proving an effectual barrier to its spreading beyond the building wherein it originated, therefore it is to the interest of every one to use some style of Iron Roofing. Iron Roofing is Lightning Proof, At a recent meeting of the Board of Underwriters of N. Y., held in New York City, they advocated strongly the general use of metal for ice houses, as careful examinations made by them, had clearly shown that no ice house covered with metal had ever been injured by lightning ; but that several which had been covered with Shingle and Tar-paper roofs had been struck and consumed by the electrical fluid. They therefore made heavy discounts on premiums where such buildings were covered with metal. The distinguished Prof. Mitchell, as well as other eminent scientists say that it is impossible for a building to be injured by lightning when covered with iron. Thus an iron roof will render unnecessary the use of lightning rods, thereby effecting a considerable saving. _ Its advantages over Tin. Everyone who knows anything of the process of tin manufacture is aware that the base of tin Roofing Plates is iron lightly coated with tin or lead, and that the tin sheets are nof solid tin as many suppose. As mow made, these thin iron sheets are but poorly and unevenly coated, badly blistered and thus rendering it necessary to paint them the same as iron. In fact, the paint is the chief protection. The Metal Worker of N. Y., gives the per cent. of tin as from two to four per cent. of the weight of the sheets, one can readily see how thin the coat 1s by this statement which is reliable. —Coming as it does from the representative paper of the Tin- ners, Hardware and Stove dealers. Again the weight of I. C. Roofing tin, of which the major part of tin roofs are made is only about 48 to 54 pounds to the square, while our No. 26 or stand- ard gauge iron roofing weights from 72 to 80 pounds to the square. Tin sheets are made in several sizes, but the following two sizes 14 x 20 inches and 20 x 28 inches are generally used, both small when compared with cron roofing sheets which are made in sizes as large as 10 x 2 ft. though the standard length is 8 ft. Thus the chances ot leaking are reduced to a minimum by us- ing iron. Again, the end joints or seams fold only % inch in laying tin while they fold 1 inch in laying iron, and the standing seams on the sides of iron roofing are 1 Yy% inch high while only 4 inch high in tin. No solder is used in laying iron roofing, but on the other hand this is the only method employed in fastening the joints of tin. By soldering no allowance is made for expansion and contraction and it is when sudden atmospheric changes occur that tin for roofing displays its great weakness and the joints and seams are tried. The soldering having a shorter and softer grain must give away, the results are broken seams and joints and a leaky roof. The weakest point of a roof as of a chain, measures its strength and the joints and seams are the weakest points. Iron roofing is open to no such objection for the joints are wide, heavy and equally as strong as the body of the sheet. A saving of from 75 cents to $1.00 per square can be made on the wood sheeting of a roof by using iron, as tin to give even indifferent results requires smoth, closely laid boards while rough sheeting made from 3 inch slats iaid 6 inches apart will make a good foundation to lay an iron roof on. Its advantages over Shingles. Good shingles are a thing of the past. The machine-made shingles of to-day last only about six years, as they are made from inferior timber and the wood fibre is so furred or thrown up in sawing that it absorbs moisture readily and retains it tenaciously, soon rotting them out. The original cost of old fashioned riven shingles made from good timber, without taking into account the cost of nails and expense of laying, is greater than that of ron Laid. The best of shingles will shrink leaving crevices and increasing a hundred fold the chances for leaks. Again—no SHINGLE roof is fire proof. Its advantages over Slate. Slate for roofing purposes is being most justly condemned on all sides. In the first place, the original cost is too great, and slate gives poor service, as it can not resist heat in case of fire but splits and falls away. Again, it is not possible to drive the nails tightly, so as to bind the slates together through fear of breaking them, thus the slates remain loose enough to allow snow and rain to blow under them, especially so in case of whirling rain storms such as frequently occur in the south. So long as the rain falls vertically the water will flow from slate to slate and not leak, but if the storm is accompanied by wind slate will always leak. TiLes are open to the same objection. The freezing ot this moisture between the slates causes them to crack and finally break entirely off. Aside from the enormous weight per square of slate (about 600 pounds) and consequent necessity for heavy and expensive roof timbers, Slate roofs require heavy annual expenditures for repairs after each Winter. Iron Roorinc poEs Nor. ‘The rule for measuring slate add about 33 per cent. more to the size of a roof than /ron does. Of the building of very flat roofs we can not approve; and with buildings having roofs of a pitch of less than 34 inch to the foot we believe no material for roofing will give good results with- out considerable repairing. But if a light pitch is unavoidable, nothing will give the satisfaction that Iron will. A Trn roof will need constant repairing on account of bursted seams; SHINGLES -will not do at all, neither will SLaTr, while [ron roofing will only need painting a little more frequently than a steep roof. In conclusion we recommend the use of a layer of glazed or felt paper underneath iron. This does not add materiaily to the cost, and prevents condensation as well as preserving a more uni- form temperature within the building, and further that the cleanest, best and clearest rain water is gathered trom buildings having iron roofs. They are smooth and consequently kept clean by the action of the winds upon their surface and it is impossible for impurities to gather and be washed into cisterns. The iron paint used is perfectly harmless, being nothing but pure iron ore combined with linseed oil. THE PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO., Limrrep, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Also say in which direction you wish length of sheets to run. If ceiling plate is to be applied to joists, give }* distance between centers and if cornice, moulding strip, rosettes, and center pieces are wanted. When ordering Corrugated or Crimped Capping for Ridge Roof, state if we shall ship ridge roll with wood fillers or corrugated margin for length of Ridge, When ordering Corrugated, Clapboards, or Beaded, for siding, state if we shall ship Corner boards for finish, how many feet of convex and concave. When ordering Corrugated, Crimped, or Standing Seam, or Beaded, for roofing or siding, say whether the iron is to be used on boarding strips or direct to Rafters, or Studding, and be careful to state what kind of Roofing or Siding you want, as per figure in catalogue ; the number of iron, whether painted or gal- vanized ; the size of Corrugation—if Corrugated is ordered. A little attention to this may save delays in shipment, and enable us to fill your orders more prompt and correct. eae A practical experience of some eighteen years shows us that the proper place to cut Iron to fit around openings, etc., is when the Iron is being applied. We therefore make no attempt to cut to fit, knowing the impossibility of giving satisfaction to our customers. When ordering Roofing, Siding or Ceiling, fill out et? like the following on page 8, and enclose with order. We are often favored with orders from those who have recently commenced in mercantile business, and not reported by the Commercial Agencies. While such buyers may be most thoroughly responsible, yet our rule is, in filling orders from patrons not favorably rated by the Commercial Agencies, or not sending satisfactory reference with order, to make shipments to our own order, and to send Sight Draft with Bill of Lading attached thereto, through Bank or Express for collection. The Invoice for the goods, in such cases, is mailed direct to the customer, so he may be duly advised of the amount of Draft, and the itemized charges. The Bill of Lading is, of course, full evidence of shipment of goods in good order, and we guarantee them to be first-class, and as repre- sented in Invoice and Bill of Lading. To insure the customer of this fact, we authorize the Collectors to hold our draft until arrival of goods, when our Patrons request them to do so. Please inform us as to what Bank you prefer Draft sent for collection. ~ Yours Respectfully, PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO., Limited. 8 THE PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO., Limirep, PHILADELPHIA, PA. are aa YS LO Olay » EeOO eran aN For Hip Roof Building and Siding, furnish us the dimensions as indicated per Letter D.

These rules must be followed, and no trouble will arise from short shipments or miscalculations. It takes so much Roofing Material to cover a certain space, and parties only deceive themselves by not allow- ing enough to complete the work. After making measurement from out to out, either for Roofing, Siding or Ceiling, add 10 per cent. for corners, laps, turning over and side and end fastenings over barge-boards, or up against parapet walls, ridge combs, etc. This will always insure enough material to cover space mentioned.

The marks show where to snip sheets for end joints, etc. Shows Tongue Metal Cleat as shipped Our Standing Seam Crimped Joints form a water-tight connection and are firmly held to the sheathing or rafters by the application of our Tongued Cleat. This mode of fastening is the best adapted for metal roofing. It is very strong and cannot blow off. Ex- pansions and contraction are so well provided for that the fastenings never come loose from the effects of heat Fig. 4- and cold. It is also very simple—any onecan easily putiton. No tools are required but a Fe pair of tongs, hand-snips to cut the iron, and a jointer to make end joints. We make no holes in the sheet, such as are made in laying so-called ‘‘cap”’ and V Crimped Roofing, using wood- en strips, which give trouble in putting on, and soon become loose, causing roofs to leak and making them liable to blow off. Our method of forming the seams is acknowledged by all to be the simplest and most flexible joints ever invented. This is evidenced by the favor with which it is received by architects, builders and mechanics wherever it has been introduced. When put on by our method there is no such thing as a leaky roof, or a roof being blown off. By the old manner of fastening the iron to the sheating by nails driven through the iron, it was found that the contraction and expansion of the metal would soon tear the iron loose pr mee goes OM - om the nail or screw heads at the seam or joints. By our method our seams have sufficient flexibility to compensate for expansion or contraction of the metal preparation of the iron.

Con- tinue this with sheets until the course is finished ; then the next sheet for second course is fitted over the bent portion of Cleat “B” between the tongue ‘“‘D,.” Press this sheet firmly down, and bend the end of tongue Cleat ‘‘D”’ over the double seam, and press them tightly together by using the tongs. This will finish the standing seam, fastening both sheets to the sheathing and thoroughly closing the joint against leakage. Always close the double seam with tongs before cleating opposite side of sheet. It will be observed that the crimp of ‘‘C” thus forms an iron cap covering the joint ‘A’ and that the sheets are held to the sheathing without being punctured with nails, the whole being held to the sheathing by the cleat ‘‘—,” which may be placed as frequently along the Standing Seam as may be required. Tt will also be observed that the sheets require no binding or form- ing except at the ends, which are seamed in the usual way. Before applying the Cleat to Standing Seam . “A” close it with tongs, as shown in cut of sheet “C,” letter ““H”; sheet ‘‘A” shows seam as shipped, and sheet ‘“C” after it has been closed; this will allow placing of Cleat in position, which will secure its binding around the Standing seam and prevent standing seam. the drawing of double seam while closing it with tongs.

Weather, Fire, and Lightning Proof. IRON ROOFING Is no longer a new thing, but it has been used in many places in Europe and in the United States for more than fifty years, and would be almost universally used if it could have been produced heretofore at as low a cost as now, and if good material and a perfect mode of construction had been known and used. This is no experiment, as our Roofing over shingles has been tested for the past five years, and found to be \ the only practical covering for old shingles. It is cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and prevents condens- ation on the under side of iron. The iron is laid the same over shingles as it would be on sheating, with one ex- ception, viz.: use six-penny 114 inch wire nails to fasten the cleat to shingles instead of 1 inch wire or shingle nails. Cheaper than slate, tin, or re-shingling, and will outlast either of them ; saves insurance and danger from fire Our Pressed Standing Seam Iron Roofing is the only Iron Roofing on the market that can be economically laid over shingles. It does not require any extra carpenter work, or make any litter around the premises. This manner of laying iron on old buildings or buildings where the shingle or composition roofs have be- aoe etnies: and worthless is becoming very popular, as it saves the annoyance and expense of removing the old roof. Also reduces danger from fire caused by sparks and lightning, saves insurance, appearance.

B—Manner of cement- ing cut corner. This is done by using our fibre patches and Iron Paste Cement (superior to lead solder), after the corners are treated; then take a strip of fibre, spread it with the paste, and divide it between the upper edge of iron flashing and brick work, pat it smooth and work the edges of fibre out well into the cement, both on to the iron and brick surfaces; then paint over the fibre lightly, so that the flashing is well filled with paint, and after the roofing is all laid, flashing completed, proceed to paint the entire roofing, and give all patching and flashing a second coat. This flashing will outlast any lead solder, and make perfect contact of the metal to either stone, brick, or wood. Always put the corner pieces on first, well covered with cement, and patted out smooth as in letter B. Then counter-flash all around. as above given. More leaks occur around parapet walls, chimneys and frames than any other part of the roof, from all kinds of roofing, be it tin, iron, slate, or shingles, and our mode of flashing and patching is the most effectual ever tried. It has stood the test of over 20 years. Fig 13. Shows sheet prepared to fit around chimney, scuttle, or skylight frames.

Our work has stood the ele- ments and mechanical forces for many years, and established a reputation for us that our competitors ezvy,; and they try to secure the trade by making ruin- ous prices on metallic building materials of their manufacture, but it is only a question of time when their plans will come to the surface and their reputation will be lost; or, if they do the work equal to our Company and furnish as good material, they will reach the end of any banking funds in a short time.

Commence at the left hand of the roof if possible, at the bottom; take the sheet and straighten out the double standing seam or flange, and turn it over to the barge-board or up against the parapet wall (which ever the case may be), and make joint on upper end of sheet “F;” then place the cleats along the single standing seam, 14 in. apart, closing this seam with tongs before placing on the cleat, keeping the tongue of cleat ‘‘D” in an up- right position, about 14 in. apart, then place end cleat as in Fig. 8, letter ‘‘ H;” join on an- other sheet the same way, closing end joint with mallet, until the comb or ridge-pole is reached; allow one inch to turn up at the top, which is done by using the Jointer; snip the flange one inch, then turn it up and put cleats about-one foot apart. This will finish the first course; also put two cleats on each end joint as in Fig. 8, letter ‘““H.” Commencing second course lay the next sheet with double flange or seam over the single flange, press it down and turn the tongue of the cleat over, so as to hold it in place, then take the Tongs and press Standing Seam together. This finishes the standing seam; and so on until this side of the roof is completed. The other side is laid in the same way, and at the top, where the sheet is to be cut (or if not quite enough, add a piece), leave one inch to turn up to form a flange to meet the other side. After this side if all laid, draw the two flanges together with the Tongs, then take the scrap pieces left and cut strips 2 inches wide (or we will furnish them if de- sired 8 feet long), put these in the Jointer, and make it an IJ shape; then fit it over the two flanges on the comb, and bend the tongue of the cleat over to hold it, then press it to- gether by using the Tongs. A Hip is made the same way, and valleys are formed by hammering out the double flange and bending it over like J) with the Jointer, then throw the single flange over the same way, and lay this sheet in the valley, cleating it each side; and hook the roofing sheet into it and pound it down to close both sheets, making it water-tight. FIG. 8. Explains the method of laying Pressed Standing Seam Roofing on a pitch roof, and the manner of forming the comb without the use of any extra pieces. It also shows the method of securing the edges at sides of roof. A—Side of roof completed. B—Ridge or comb as it appears when completed. C—Standing Seam hammered down and formed into comb. D—Extreme end of sheet, having two inch margin turned up to form comb. E Opposite side of upper end of sheet turned up one inch, over this is folded one inch of the sheet on the opposite side of roof asin D. This folding of the end of sheet over the op- posite one forms a solid ridge cap all from the sheets proper, and only requires a little careful and patient work to accomplish it. F—Sheet formed ready to place in position on roof. G—Two inch seam turned for comb. H—End cleats in position at upper end joint of lower sheet. I—End joint formed on lower end of sheet ready to hook into upper joint of sheet H. This finishes the laying, and when done with care, makes one of the most perfect and desirable roofs ever laid. Deseription of Figure 9. _ —— Eee The Cleat ‘‘ E” is taken and fitted over the standing seam ‘‘A”’ by placing the curved end of cleat down in an upright position on the inside of seam ‘* A,” then bend the upper part over the seam, fitting it around the curve of seam ‘ H” and the end oval opening, and plane ‘‘B” extends out and down upon the rafters or sheath- ing, leaving the tongue ‘‘D” in an upright position (as shown in cut ‘‘D,”) then fasten the cleat to sheathing by driving two wire nails through the plane ‘*B;” this will hold the cleat and sheet firmly to the sheathing. Con- tinue this with the sheet until the course is finished ; then the next sheet for second course is fitted over the bent portion of cleat ‘‘B” between the tongue ‘“‘D.” Press this sheet firmly down, and bend the end of tongue cleat “‘D” over the doub!e seam, and press them tightly together by using the tongs. This will finish the standing seam, fastening both sheets to the sheathing and thoroughly closing the joint againt leakage. Always close the double seam with tongs before cleating opposite side of sheet. It will be observed that the crimp of ‘‘C’? thus forms an iron cap covering the joint ‘‘A,” and that the sheets are held to the sheathing without being punctured with nails, the whole being held to the sheathing by cleat ‘‘E,’’ which may be placed as frequently along the joint as may be required. It will also be observed that the sheets require no binding or forming except at the ends, which are seamed in the usual way. Before apply- ing the cleat to standing seam ‘‘A,” close it with tongs as shown in cut of sheets ‘*C’’ and ‘*H;” sheet “A” shows seam as shipped, and sheet ‘‘C’’ after it had been closed; this will allow placing of cleat in position which will secure its binding around the standing seam, and the drawing of double seam while closing it with tongs. Sheet ‘‘C” and letter ‘‘G’’ shows end joint ; and sheet ‘‘C” letter ‘‘F’”’ shows end joint turned upward, allowing the two sheets to be locked together, and «losed with a mallet.

This will insure a safe basis of prices per square, as the cost of rolling sheet metal is based upon its thickness and width, taking Standard Gauge as basis of weight per square foot, or 75 lbs. to the 100 square feet. The difference on 26 gauge would be 12 pounds. No. 24, 39 lbs.; No. 22, 60 lbs.; No. 20, 90 pounds, making difference in cost between gauges, the cost of additional weight added, to insure the buyer that he really gets addi- tional weight per square, and not one-half of it, purchase by weight. Pay for each pound delivered or sold, and no more, and allow no trimmings or boxes weighed. It is plain that our advice is well given. s@° To PURCHASE HEAVIER GAUGES THAN STANDARD, PURCHASE BY THE POUND. BSP eke US ae eS ROOFING PAINTS AND CEMENTS.

This is our latest patent in Steel or Iron Roofing, and we consider it the nearest to perfection in details of any Metal Roof on the market. It is introduced more for general use on the best class of both city and suburban residences, cottages, and ornamental stables and buildings. We do not intend it for use on buildings requiring a heavy gauge of iron, but for use where tin, slate, or shingles have been the chief roofing materials, this new roof is destined to supersede them. We make it from charcoal iron or steel sheets, Standard and 24 gauge, weighing respectively (atter laying), 75 and 103 pounds to the square. We intend that this roof shall be carried in stock by all good and responsible Hardware dealers, Stove dealers, and Tinners, just the same as they now carry stocks of tin ready for any emergency, and in lots so they can fill orders of from % to 100 squares.

The very construction of this roof will convince any metal worker that it requires the VERY BEST grade of sheet iron or steel, well annealed, to do the work that is required to form these roofing sheets, and allow the workmen to complete the work on the roof, without injury to the fibre of the iron. The iron or steel must have a close and long fibre, free from scale and hardness, and must have the ductility of tin, and the surface of the sheets perfectly smooth. ‘To secure all these essential points, the best material MusT be used. Most persons are not aware that a well worked, box annealed, thin rolled sheet of iron or steel will give twice the service that a heavy gauge sheet iron or steel of poor quality and open fibre will give. After closing the flange seam with tongs, place first sheet in position on sheathing board, and commence nailing through margin flange of sheet every 9 inches, to securely fasten the same to sheathing. The forming of the end joints, etc., and fitting of corners, hips, valleys, and attaching sheets to box gutters, flashing around chimneys, skylights, and parapet walls, is done in just the same manner as when laying our Pressed Standing Seam Roofing, except no tongued cleats are used. The great advantage of the Extension Cleat Roofing is, that a flange is provided through which the nails are driven into the sheathing, at such intervals as may be deemed necessary, and it also provides a continuous cleat to hold the adjoining sheets. Said cleats are cut directlv from the sheet, and is not a separate and distinct piece, as in all other styles of Iron Roofing—they use separate cleats. This style of roofing, although costing more to manufacture, which makes it a few cents higher to the agent, will prove a great deal cheaper in the end. ist.

We would especially call your attention to our Metal Caps. We furnish them in 8 feet pieces, while all other Roofing Companies supply them in lengths of 30 inches or under. One great advant- age our roofing has over all other Roll Cap Roofing is, that the cap is held to the roofing sheet standing seam by means of our Tougued Metal Cleat. Other devices either indent the cap or rivet it, both of which methods are very unsatisfactory, as in a short time they become loosened and blow off, thus causing leaks. This style of roofing being so simple, extra skill is not required to lay it, and it can be Jaid about as rapidly as other tyles of roofiing. This is a very desirable roof where buildings have the roof pitched one way only, with only a slight fall and long courses. We offer you the best Roll Cap Roofing ever made. Roll 50 lineal feet.

The general cry has been after a season’s wear, “bursted joints.” Our new devices, which we have experimented with during the past eighteen months, have proven a barrier against this trouble. and we now justly assert that no cross seam will leak or burst when made under our Patent Lock Seam devices.

All that is necessary to prove these assertions is a trial. During the past eighteen months we have carefully sown seeds of this product—scattered among our best customers and a few of our competitors—and in every case they have given their unqualified en- dorsement that this roofing was far superior to any thing they had ever handled and more general satisfaction had been given their customers than any other kind, both in point of mechanical construction, mode ot applying and neat appearance when finished.

This will bind the two sheets tightly together, and the angle will securely hook them, so that no wind or mechanical forces will separate them, at the same time it provides for expansion and contraction. All the care that is necessary isin pressing the upper crown over at sufficient angle to form the hooking device. Do this always, before cleat- ing or nailing opposite side, as the take up in squeezing upper seam is about 3-16 of an inch.

For Shedding, or for cheaply constructed buildings, the V Crimped Roofing will answer, al- though we do not recommend it for general use. It has many serious faults that are overcome only by—not using it at all—or by using our various devices, as described in Departments 1, 2 : = % ——— and 3 of this Catalogue. TS 38 This style of Iron Roofing has Shows V Crimped Roofing as Shipped. been used more extensively than any other kind; in fact, the sales of all other styles combined would not equa the sales ofthe V Crimped. The fact that it is the oldest device used for putting on sheet iron roofing explain why so much is used and why it is so well known. The manufacture of iron roofing for a number of years wa confined to one or two firms, and the principal consumers were large manufacturing firms, individuals not adopt- ing its use until within a recent period, as they confined themselves to the use of slate, tin, and shingles for cov- ering dwellings, warehouses, barns, etc. However, within a few years, numerous patents for improved roofing devices have been issued. Inventors have given this subject great study and spent large sums of money in ma- chinery and experiments, and now various styles of Iron Roofing are furnished by many firms, working undér different patents, a// of which excel the V Crimped. Iron Roofing, to be effective, should possess the following points: Ist. Beso constructed as to resist the elements. 2nd. Be easily applied. 3rd. Beso constructed as to avoid waste in fitting angles, valleys, and around openings. a = - - - -- - -- There is but one series of Iron Roofing devices ever yet offered to the public that combines all these es- sential points, and these are manufac- tured by us under the Sagendorph Patents. Our V Crimped Roofing has the crimps so made as to approach a Standing Seam, thus binding the sheets firmly at the edge, in addition to the nailing. This, in a measure, prevents loosening by contraction and expansion and the leaking of the water over the seams, thus making our manufacture of this style of roof the most desirable to use when one wishes to use a V Crimped Roofing at all.

D—V cut ‘opening, are made in the cap after the roofing is all laid, as the crimps in the roofing run in courses, do not terminate alike on opposite sides of pitch roof at comb, therefore, it is desirable to have the cap solid at edges and let the workmen fit the cap on the ridge after the roof is laid, mark the places on both sides to be cut out, then take the snips and cut a V piece out, this will allow the cap to fit nicely over the crimps and provide a perfect capping for ridge, keeps out the wind and rain, and also make a fine and durable finish. B—Two sides of the roof laid to ridge showing the crimps and ends of sheets meeting. C—Combing Cap cut out and applied. To fit one joint of combing cap at ends over an adjoining ome, snip the ends in two inches, nail in the two inch flange and then slip the next piece without cutting into the snipped end, this will form a slot cut joint, covering the nails and prevent leakage from rain.

When using Iron Roofing we recommend our customers to place a layer of paper on the sheahting before applying the iron, especially on dwellings. The paper is a non-conductor and preserves a uniform temperature under the roof, also stopping condensation. It pays the consumer to use paper lining.

The folds at upper ends of sheets should be turned up, and at lower ends down; hook together and mallet down as shown in Fig. 63. Our V Crimped Roofing has the crimps so made as to approach a Stand- ing Seam, thus binding the sheets firmly at the edge. In addition to the nail- ing, this ina measure prevents loosening by contraction and expansion and the leaking of the water over the seams.

Our aim was to find a possible means for binding two or more sheets (having a standing seam), together with the fastening on sheathing boards, and the clamping of cleat would not follow in direct lines; at the same time give all possible strength without adding to its cost over the old styles, and we are confident that our Two-ln-Hand has all of the above essential mechanical points. 1st.

Heretofore parties who have used the smooth centers, sheet steel or iron roofing, have been greatly annoyed by the loud rattling of the sheets, either trom heavy winds or rains. ‘This, in some cases, has been so annoying that the roofing had to be taken off. Persons of very nervous temperament, sensative to sounds, especially at night, would not stand the disagreeable sensation from this cause, and rather than put up with it, would patronize slate or wood shingles (tin is no exception to this fault). From this experience we studied how to overcome the fault, and found by ad- dition of small beads running crosswise of the sheets, it would entirely abate this, and at the same time another great and useful feature had been added, viz: By beading the centers crosswise, it pro- vided a series of raised tubes that would take up and supply all metal necessary to overcome the effect caused by heat and cold, and save the strain on the end or cross joints. This one feature is worth everything in Metal Roofing, as the cross joints are free from strain, when constucted like above cut, and when laid, if the work is properly done, no damage will ever occur to them from the elem ents; where, in a flats urface, no compensation to the cross joints is made or provided when attacked by heat or cold. = WN mi mW HN eae HI Hh Shows our Stone Panel Centers, Producing the Same Effect as the Beaded, but More Ornamental. i pon HI Hy Both Styles Made Only of the Best Bessemer Steel. | This Construction is Positlve Proof that the Material Must be Steel.

WVAVEVEVEVE VERVE VERVE 3 Gaeta is an entirely new device in sheet steel building i material, lately placed on the market by us. We feel confident that Builders, Architects, Contractors and Property Owners will see the advantage of this pattern in sheet steel for outside covering on! buildings of all kinds, in preference to the old styles “flat” and ‘corrugated ” iron. This new form has the perfect appearance of the finest brick made. It can be applied by any mechanic; no waste; lays perfectly smooth, and, after painting, can not be distin- guished from Philadelphia pressed brick. The Insurance Underwriters give this style of covering the same rating as brick or stone, and the relative difference in cost is: (com- mon brick), for brick and mortar, 12 in. thick, 10 ft. square, surface laid, $31.00; sheet steel pressed brick applied, painted and penciled, 100 square ft., $7.25, or nearly four. fifths less ; against stone, it is about nine-tentns less. We manufacture this style out of best refined Bessemer soit steel, in lengths of 50% in. by 26% in., lengthwise of sheet,as Fig. 104, or crosswise of sheetas Fig. 102. For small buildings the 50% in. style is used, and on large buildings 120 in. lengths works to better advantage; in either case care should be taken to break side-joints. By observing this, greater strength will be given tostructure, and allows the material to fit perfectly close. We always ship sheets of 5034x26%, unless otherwise advised, as this size is the commercial stock, and rarely receive orders for the ro ft. length, as it requires considerable time to apply and quite skilled labor to perform the work.

Sagen- dorph’s new patent roll-cap roofing is per- fectly adapted to good houses as well as cheap ones. Most architects contend that sheet-iron or sheet-steel roofing can only be safely used on roofs with a steep pitch, and is therefore for houses of the character usually built in cities. Mr. Lloyd has just completed for himself a new house at 3319 Calumet Av- enue, |Chicago. which is roofed by his own company, using their Patent Steel Cap Lock Roofing. The house is 25x80 feet, three stories high, with a handsome stone front and finished in hard woodinside. The roof is of steel sheets, standing seam, with a pitch of one inch to the foot, and is therefore nearly flat. Its mechanical construction allows for contraction and expansion, and is guaranteed not toleak. In putting his own roof on such a costly house Mr. Lloyd shows his faith in his company’s product, and believes that impor- tant results will follow to the iron and steel roofing trade.

Fig. 110. 1st. As in figure 111 the sheets are made with 1% inch margin (flat) at sides, this will permit of turning up one inch and using a metal cap with cleates attached, as in figure 110, and making end joints by hooking and pounding down with mallet, as in cut figure 112. This cut (112) shows end joints made, side edges turned and anchor cap applied, After the first row is applied, anchored and capped, slip the sheet of next course under the cap and squeeze the same tight, using our Squeez- ing Tongs. This will close the cap tight against the sheet edges and make them water-tight, as in cut figure IIo. Fig. 112. This style of roofing has many advantages over all others, especially Metal Roofing, having flat surfaces with Stand- ing Seams. st.

In a roof of this kind the end joints can be formed by hooking or lapping one-half shingle, as in Fig. 116, and nailing at base of each shingle or tile, using a wire nail and lead washer. The side seams are formed in three different ways: 2nd.—Manner of Laying.—We press a standing seam on the edges, Fig. 11334, and lay the same as Pressed Standing Seam Roofing, using our patent Two-in-hand Cleat, as in Fig. 114. 3rd.—Manner of Laying.—Sheets being of the best quality steel, the edges can be double seamed same as a tin roof, without injury tothe stock. Any of the above devices are good and practical. We recommend the Pressed Standing Seam edges, Two-in-hand Cleat, as per directions of Pressed Standing Seam. For Siding, sheets are shipped with flat edges, or double bead on each edge. Cut off one side close to tile, then lap and match the adjoining sheet; nail at interval to t fasten sheets to sheathing, or lap the bead and nail between. Fig. 110 shows roofing tile or Cluster Shingle being applied, part of the roof laid, sheet hooked and ready to lay another course, anchor cap ready for applying.

Hy] SSVesne We manufacture pREssED Corrugated Iron only. RoLiEep Corrugated Iron can not be de- pended upon, where accuracy, uniformity and economy are required, and in furnishing quotations on this style of metal goods, we should be allowed about 5 per cent. advance over quotations from _ Other firms which manufacture Rolled Corrugated Iron. Ways : This advance is doubly saved in many First. By economy in laying, as Pressed Corrugated Iron can be laid in one-half the time that is required for laying Rolled Iron. Second. By accuracy of fit, as all corrugations are uniform and require no trimming. The end and side laps fitting squarely and without waste. Please bear the above in mind when obtaining prices on corrugated goods, and if fairly com- pared, you will find that our Company furnishes a better class of Corrugated Iron than any other company, at same prices. When calculating amount of Corrugated Iron to cover a given space, for roofing, it is neccs- ‘sary to allow for the extra lap at the sides and ends. Generally the allowance is as follows: For sid- ing, on side lap, one-half corrugation, and at end lap, 1% inches. For roofing, the lap we provide for is 114 corrugations at sides and 3 inches at the ends. A lap of one and a hall corrugation will answer when the rafters are 20 feet or longer, and the pitch is 2 inchs to the foot, and by nailing every 8 or 10 inches, although we do not recommend the use of corrugated iron for roofing, very strongly, but our finishing lap for roofing is the most reliable, with corrugated sheets. When used without sheathing boards, the studding should be framed to measure from center to center, to correspond with covering width of sheet, or, if preferred, put the studding 6 to 8 feet |. purlins, placing purlins 2 to 4 feet apart.

Corrugated Arches have ‘often been tested (Trautwein), and have never shown any defection at a pressure of 1,000 pounds per square foot, and little defection at 2,000 or 3,000 pounds per square foot. The weight of the Arches, with concrete filling on top of beam, is but little over half that of a brick arch, and concrete filling same height, thus allowing fewer or lighter beams to be used, and lessenirg the load on the walls. These floors are from 20 to 35 per cent. cheaper than those built of brick arches, or, in fact, any other fire-proof floor. Curved ceilings, when painted suitably, present a very beautiful finish, and for durability, far excel plaster.

The escallops are formed entirely below the plane of the flat portions The sides of each sheet terminate in a flat cap having just referred to. an overlapping flange. When used as roofing the con- struction affords a simple and secure means of connecting the sheets and also serves to carry all the water off in the escalloped portions, thus pre- venting any water from blowing off the side of the roof.

Dear Sir—It gives us great pleasure to state that the work done on our church (First Presbyterian) and spire, with Metallic Paint, has given entire satisfaction. The leaks have been effectually stopped, and the spire—nearly one hundred and fifty feet high, and very difficult to reach—has been pro- tected at the edges (it being octagon shape.) It was previously covered with lead and slate, which had become loose—some of it falling off. sents a neat and durable appearance, and we have no doubt it will last for We cheerfully recommend you to the public.

Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the 25th inst., as to my opinion of the iron ore used in the manufacture of your Metal- lic Paint, I have to say that I have been so pleased with it, since it was acci- dentally brought to my notice some years ago, that I have used no other mineral paint for tin roofs, or for iron work, where the color would permit. For body and durability, I consider it superior to any other mineral paint ever brought to my notice. Very respectfully your obedient servant, Edward Clark, Architect. Cincinnati, March 1, 1884. O. t, Pervin, Esq., V. P. and Sup’t M. C. D. Co. My Dear Oliver: This will introduce to you Mr. H. C. Woodrow, who is, at present, with Mr. Sagendorph in the Roofing business. Remembering that your corn house needs repairing, I recommend Mr. S. most strongly for the work. what I know of him, I feel justified in saying that his work is always well dene in every particular, and invariably gives satisfactiou. I should advise your giving him the preference. if you have not already made the repairs. Very faithfully, Thos. T. Gaff. From Lynchburg, Va., August 12, 1885. This is to testify that Mr. L. L. Sagendorph painted the roof of our dwelling with the Obelisk Metallic Paint in 1879, and it has saved the cost of a new tin roof, and given entire satisfaction. : l Tazewéll M. McCorkle. ° United States Navy Yard, Wastiaeton, Office of Civil Engineer, July 13, 1877. Dear Sir—I take pleasure in stating that Sagendorph & Bro. were em- ployed during the month of February last to treat with the Metalic Paint the east and south sides of boiler-shop roof, then in a leaky condition. Since its application the leaks have been successfully stopped, and the Paint presents no signs of deterioration in the least, and has thus far given entire satisfac- tion. Very respectfully, A. G. Monacal, C. E, U.S. Cincinnati, February 28, 1884. Messrs. L. Lewis Sagendorph & Co., City. We have been asked by va- rious parties abont the quality of your Paint. It gives us much pleasure to state that, since you have painted the roof of the Eureka Building, we have got rid of the trouble and annoyance that we have had for years, and we re- gard it as a number one material for resisting elements, and will cheerfully recommend it to all your friends and the public. Yours respectfully, Freiberg & Workum. Dear Sir—Having had twenty-five years’ experience with tin roofs, I have never found anything that would stop leaks until I used your Metallic Paint and Cement on my foundry roof five years ago. It has been entirely successful, and it is as good as ever. it to the public. I take great pleasure in recommending John B. Gaylord. Washington, D. C., September 14, 1879. Dear Sir—The roof on my house was painted with the Metallic Paint in June, 1877. So far no leak of any description has made its appearance, and from the inspection I have given it, together with the large endorsement it has received at the hands of our citizens, I think if your roof needs painting you can not do better than to use this paint. Yours truly, George W. Cochran. Staunton, Va., March 3, 1880. Having heard much said of the value of Sagendorph’s Metallic Paint as a protection and security to roofs, I employed him to paint the roofs of five store-houses in Staunton. The painting was done more than a year ago, and so far as I can judge it promises to be permanent, and I have every reason to be satisfied with it. Alex. H. H, Stuart. Harrisonburg, Va., August 14, 1879. Messrs. Sagendorph & Bro., in September last, painted the roof of my mother’s house in this place with Metallic Paint. Since then it has been free from leaks. Four years prior it had been a continual worry—leaking badly all the time. I can, with pleasure, recommend them and their Paint to the public, feeling that I am only doing them justice. Respectfully, W. R. Warren. Office City Engineer, Lynchburg, Va., 1878. It affords me great satisfaction to find that Mr. Sagendorph, of this city, recently received a contract for treating the roofs of some of our public build- ings, and that he has completed this work to the entire satisfaction of the authorities. The Metallic Paint introduced by himI do not hesitate to pro- nounce the most superior Roofing Paint which has come under my observa- lop By strict attention to business: and excellent workmanship, he has gained the confidence of our community, and gladly I recommend him as well, and worthy of liberal patronage. Aug. Forsberg, C. E. Dear Sir—I speak whereof I know when I say that no paint yet discov- ered will accomplish what yours will, either as to wear or effectually stopping leaks, either from broken seams or holes in roofs. It forms a perfect iron coating, and really becomes a part and parcel of a tin or iron roof, Yours truly, N. Hamlin, Architect. Ironton, O., March 31, 1881. Gentlemen—It affords me great pleasure to testify to the value of your Metallic Paint, and perfect construction of your roofing, both of which we have largely used on our rolling mill and blast furnace buildings. The old Yours truly, Merits of all Goods Manufactured by us. roof of our casting house, which I was about replacing with a new one, was, with your Paint and Cement, rendered as good as new, and from close watch- ing and careful observation of said roof, I feel assured it will now last for years. Your paint applied to our heat pipes has stood your guarantee test. Respectfully, bees Bramwell, General Manager N. Y. and Ohio Iron and Steel Works. This is to certify that in September, 1875, we contracted with L. L. Sagendorph to treat with Metallic Paint the roof of our Vulcan Iron Works. The roof was in very bad condition—leaking in all parts. The sheet iron portion (under which there was no sheathing) was rusted into innumerable holes, in some places broken and hanging down in patches. The roof was condemned as useless, and we had commenced to renair it with a new one, when Mr. Sagendorph undertook the repairing of it. The broken portions were covered with long strips of canvas, painted with the Metallic Paint and laid in his Cement. The smaller holes were carefully sought out and treated with his Cement and the whole root thoroughly painted with Metallic Paint. The work and material have stood the test for eighteeu months—en- tirely coming up to representations as to leakage, and to all appearances the work and material remain in good condition. The Metallic Paint patches adhere with great firmness; the Cement tough and rubber-like ; and the body of the Paint all that could be desired. H. A.

Dear Sir—Replying to your letter of recent date asking as to the merits of the Obelisk Paint put upon our passenger shed roof by your company, would advise that it is the best thing that I have found yet for that purpose, and it seems to fulfill the requirements so far. The roof has been thoroughly tight, and we have had no trouble with it whatever. Yours truly, C. D. Law, Sup’t. Lynchburg, Va., September 4, 1885. I have had my residence, on Diamond Hill, painted with the above Paint some seven or eight years ago, and it proved to be excellent, as it has never leaked to the present time. Iwas so pleased with it that I have, in the past few days, had it repainted and another one painted with the same Paint. # A. Waddill. Warrentown, Va., December 19, 1887. Dear Sir—Yours of the 16th inst. received. Would answer that our de- pot reof, before you worked on it, was nearly as poor a roof as business can be done under—frequently to move books and papers to one part and another, as we could find place. Indeed, best judges thought it useless to attempt to repair such a roof. And now since you have repaired this roof, I have failed to find a single leak. Your finish also has a respectible appannncee a Yours truly, J32S21inn, Agent W. C. V. M. and G. S. Railroad.

Put a small lump of cement into all rust and nail holes. Treat leaks around chimneys, flashings, in skylights or counter- -flashings same as broken seams, then paint the whole surface. Keep the paint stirred and rub it out well. No dryer is necessary. If the paint is too thick, add one quart of boiled linseed oil to the gallon. This paint can also be used for any kind of metal or wood which is exposed to the weather. When used on wood, add one-half gallon raw linseed oil to the gallon of paint. It is the only paint in the market that can be relied on. Our cement can also be purchased from our regular agent at a small cost. Always stir the paint before using. Fig. 250%.

IN APPLYING this cement, the following directions must be carefully observed: First, paint all holes or breaks with our Sagendorph Obelisk Paint, and after that is done, apply the cement as follows: For small nail and rust holes, put a small lump of cement into the hole so as to cover and fill it, allowing the cement to stand a little above the sur- face. For broken seams, large holes, fixing chimneys, skylights or counter-flashings, the following must be carried out : Pages 71 and 13, Figs. 22 and 12. First, take good cotton unbleached muslin, tear it in strips large enough to cover one inch each side of the break (our Fibre Rolls are prepared); take a trowel and spread the cloth fibre with the cement, laying the same over the break (painting or priming it with paint first), patting it down firm and smooth with your hands, and paint lightly over it. Be sure and allow enough cloth to cover each side of the break by one inch. After all the patching is done, paint the roof with our Sagendorph Obelisk Paint. If the roof has many leaks and requires a great deal of patching, it is best to do the patching and let it stand a day or so before coat- ing the entire surface. This gives the patches a chance to set. If our directions are car- ried out, your roof will remain free from leaks for years. This cement, in connection with the cotton fibre patches, makes perfect contact of metal to slate, brick, stone or mortar. It readily adheres to any of the above named, effectually excluding water, and will prevent or stop leaks in shingles, slate, tin and iron roofs. The best counter-flashing material for roofers and tinners to use. We furnish Patching Fibre in rolls 12 feet long by 1, 2 and 3 inches wide, ready to spread with cement and apply.

Solder can not do it, counter-fiashing with metal is only an apron to cover the separation, bea solder will only temporarily seal the cut or broken corners. Expansion and contraction will soon burst them apart. Banking up of snow and ice, or a heavy driving rain will force the water under the apron and over the two or three inch of the turned up metal, admit water to run between wall or frame down on to the sheathing, and cause, in many cases, bad leaks. By using our Cement and Fibre Strips, the contact is perfect, and no water or rain can leak or find any inlet to under surface; the same applies to a skylight frame. All metal devices have failed, all kinds of cement proven of short life, but the Obelisk has never failed; it always remains flexible, but firm, and is only disturbed by mechanical forces. : : No tin or évon roof can be pertectly laid or repaired without this Cement is used, tinners are slow to take hold of it, and discredit what we claim. But living proofs, dating back to 1869, kills its enemies, and defies any one to bring in evidence of a single failure we or our agent have made during the past 15 years, in all the millions of square feet of tin and Iron Roofing that we or they have treated, stopping leaks in roofing proper, flashing roofs and skylights, and seven-tenths of these roofs have been under the care of the most expert tinners the city or town in which the men were located, and year in and out they have been paid large amounts for repairing with- out any good effect; the owners had met with heavy losses, in either damaged goods, falling plaster, or both ; and, in many instances, have been sued by the tenant for damages. And, as the last resort, the tinner condemns the roof, and recommends, as the only remedy, a mew roof. Under these circumstances, over one-half of our work was taken, and in every instance we guaranteed to make a tight job and keep the same in good repair for a term of fiveor ten years. Vo pay until the work was thoroughly tested, and in very desperate cases we have not received one dollar for a year or eighteen months, after the work was finished. And there is not on our or our agents’ books a single charge unpaid that is due, not a piece of work that had not only given satisfaction for its time specified, but has doubled the time, and is still doing good services. All that is required is to lay aside your prej- udice, and apply strictly in accordance with directions, and time will prove to you and your patrons that it is the most wonderful roof protector ever made. /t will stop any leak from whatever cause, in any kind of roof, be tt tin, tron, slate, shingle, tile, copper or zinc. One hundred pounds of Cement Paste and five gallons Liquid priming and dress- ing, costing $20.00; will do the amount of work that a tinner would charge $100.00 for. And, if done with care, would give the desired effect, while the tinner’s work would give out in a change of seasons, and old troubles ap- pear—leaks. ; We give one illustration of a tin roof treated by us in 1875, in Baltimore, Md., on one of the largest ma- chine works there (120 squares), we accepted this work at $2.00 per square. This roof had been condemned by several of the best tinning firms in the city, and their bids were all in for a new roof (tin, at that time, was $8.50 per square, laid, no paint). We accidently heard of it, and before the award we had an interview with the own- ers, laid our treatment before them, and they considered the matter well, as the new work would cost $1,224.00, as against our bid, $240.00, so they proposed to give us the work, provided we waited 18 months for the pay. At the end of that time, if the work proved all we claimed and showed no signs of deterioration, then they would pay the bill with 6 per cent. interest added. We accepted, and at the end of the time the work was inspected accepted, and bill with interest paid. In December, 1886, this work was re-examined, and found to be equally as good as when first done; this is only one instance out of the thousands we could cite.

World Renowned for Metal Roof Preserver, for Coating Metallic Surfaces Exposed to Weather. For Protection of Tin and Iron Roofs. In the hands of an honest workman, produces a covering that will resist atmospheric changes, prevent rust, and stop leaks in tin or iron roofing. This covering adheres firmly to the surface to which it is applied, thoroughly cementing all joints, seams and breaks, strengthening the entire surface, forming a pure, non-corrosive coating, susceptible of great elasticily. without cracking or peeling. This feature is one of great importance to metal roofs, as the covering does not de- teriorate with the change of seasons, but stands intact through wet or dry, heat or cold. Simply pazntng roofs with ordinary compounds does little, if any good, as the oil soon dries out and leaves the mineral body in a scaly or chalky condition, while the Odc/isk Metalic Paint furnishes a coating equal to the metal to which it is applied, being composed of foreign gums, native Sesquioxide of Iron, Maganese and S. T. P. Body Oil, as manipulated by us, and, if applied in accordance with our mode of treatment, will protuce an indistructible covering for metal (against natural causes.) This Paint supplies a long-felt want, and if any tin or iron surface properly covered with it is certeinly doubled in value for roofing purposes, for the metal can not rust. Jt wll prevent or repair broken joints and sepms, and remain in good condition for many years. During the past fifteen years this paint has been applied to over 1,000,000 squares of iron, tin and fibrous surfaces, distributed throughout the United States, represented on the finest and largest private and public buildings, Iron Plants and Manufacturing Plants, and in no instance has it come to our knowledge of its giving dissatistaction or proving contrary to our representations, fully meeting the claims by us, and proving one of the best preservers of metal and metallic roofs ever offered to the public. CAUTION.—We manufacture the original Sagendorph Metallic Paint from purest, toughest and hardest Lake Superior Iron Ore. The Obelisk Metalic Paint is not made of s/ate, shale, rotton stone or clay, like other so- called mineral paints, with which we do not intend to compete. Our Paints are more durable and as valuable as the best ved lead, and costs much less. ANALYSIS OF IRON ORE. Sesquioxide of Iron . & . 93.68 per cent.

You may have bought burnt Ge paint, thinking you were getting Obelisk Paint, and, if so, of course you are down upon such. It has cost you double what it would had you bought the genui .e, because you had to use more of it; and if you have painted iron or tin, it has rusted, because the burning of the ore has changed its nature and made it subject to re-oxydi- zation. Our Paint will not re-oxydize, because the ore is the perfection of oxydization, 3 and nothing is done to change its nature. THE PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO., Lintev, PHILADELPHIA, PA. 5 73 A. VVORD TO PROPERTY OWNERS. PLL CIC ir tt it tt tt Tt at tt i tT a tt a) TT Ga ATTENTION paid to the repairing and painting of metal roofs has clearly shown that lead solder will not unite sheets of metal together against moisture or the elements when used for roofing purposes. Tin plate varies in quality the same as any other commodity, and is composed of many different grades of iron, coated with tin or lead. Many haye the idea that tin roofing is composed of solid tin, while others have the impression that the tin is incorporated through the entire body of the sheets. In order to have this communication thoroughly understood we think it necessary to make a brief explanation of the mode employed in the manufacture of tin plates. All tin or leaded plates are composed of sheet iron or steel plates — first quality char- coal iron, second quality charcoal iron (imperfect sheets), third quality coke iron. These various iron or steel sheets are treated to a coating of tin or lead solution. When finished they are known as tin or Jeaded plates. To facilitate the working of these different brands of roofing, it is necessary to join the sheets together by means of hooking and then soldering. When they are laid upon boards or sheathing to form a root, they are then subject to great strain upon each other, caused by atmospheric changes, expansion and contraction. ‘Then it is that the joints and seams are tried, and the strength of this roof is measured, just the same as the strength of an iron chain would be (provided it had a weak link). This imperfect link would represent the strength of the chain ; so does the lead solder measure the strength of a tin or lead plate roof. Several sheets hooked together and soldered with lead, and subjected to the atmospheric changes, will expand and con tract; each sheet being of the same material will act alike, and the lead being a shorter and softer grain, must give way to its strong and superior neighbor. Results are a broken joint or seam, next follows an opening, and the next develops a leaky roof. You call in the tinner, end he only tem- porarily stops the leak with the old remedy (lead solder), and one warm day’s sun, with the cool- ing night air, subjects the roof to great and sudden strain, and the old breaks re-appear. Another call makes the discovery that the tin is so rusty and bad that to make a secure job you must havea new roof, of the same construction, soldered joint and subject to the same strain, producing the same results, /eaky roofs. Hundreds of remedies have been tried during the past 25 years, and for the past 20 years none of them have proven of any account, except ours, known as the original Obelisk Roofing Paint and Cement. Out of the thousands of metal roofs treated by us during these years, we have never had brought to our notice a single failure. Never has a joint or seam or hole in a metal roof leaked after we have treated it. Work done by us in this city, during the last six years (Cincinnati), presents the same appearance that it did when first finished. This coating forms a covering that resists atmos- pheric changes, not affected by the burning of soft coal, strengthens every joint and seam, prevents rust, will remain in perfect condition for many years without renewal ; at the same time place the roof in a condition that will not require watching or cause damage by leaking. Vo matter how bad the roof leaks this Paint will restore it, and accomplish the desired effect if the directions are followed. A trial costs little, and will prove a great benefit to the property, economy to the owner, and the truthfulness of our claim. vie Competition in tin roofing ts so great, and prices have become so cut, that it 1s impossible to fur- nish a good quality of plate and do a first-class job. No business man can afford to work below cost, and he is forced to use a low grade to meet the competition, and in seven cases out of ten the roof taken off will prove far superior in quality to the new one. If the owner had known of this Paint and Cement, and employed an honest workman, he would have saved many dollars, and had a much better roof than the new one will prove. This Paint applied to new work will keep the metallic surface free from rust, covering the joints and seams in such a manner that expansion and contraction can not break them, and will be free from any expenre to the owner for five or more years. Zhe ordinary mode of painting roofs has proven of little worth, if any, and the best will not last any length of time. Some property owners paint every year; some in two years, while others neglect for many years, and allow rust to form to such an extent that the metal is beyond repair. We have done more to raise the value of Tin and Iron for Roofing purposes than any other coating or compound heretofore known. ‘Tin or Iron roofs will not rust when properly coated with our Paint. When you are offered a good, first-class article for a low price, much below cost of making such goods, you can rest assured that either the seller or buyer will be cheated, and nine times out of ten it will prove that the buyer has suffered. OBELISK METALLIC PAINT. ITS WORTH TO ALL. Fifteen years’ study and experiment have developed the finest Fire and Weather Proof Paint ever put on the market; an altogether original process and amalgamation of pigments, whereby a paint is produced which combines advantages not afforded by any paint now known in the market. It is called Obelisk Metallic Paint. Some of the advantages mentioned are as follows: It is not only suitable for all purposes for which common or superior lead paints can be used, but for many others for which they can not be used with effect, viz: As a protection against the possible penetra- tion of dampness, the effect of salt or salt water, diluted ascids and alkalies, withstanding from 400 to soo degrees of heat, usage over tar and its compounds, its resistance of ammonical vapors, and . sulphuretted hydrogen gasses, proof against worms, ants, barnacles, preventing oxydization of metals, even arresting the same after it has attacted metals. It contains no pvisonous substances, and can be used without injury by any person, even of the most delicate constitution. For coat- ing tanks holding water, etc., it imparts no taste whatever. Infectious germs can find no lodgment on it; it can be used on surfaces of wood, iron, stone, plaster, brick, zinc, tar, etc. ; its surface can be washed without injury. One coat prevents penetration of moisture, and two coats produce a body that will withstand all elements ; it can be applied over other paint, or other paint over it. For iron work, such as columns, girders, railings, bridges and iron ships, it has no equal. Its covering capacity on clean metal surface is 175 square feet, two coats to the gallon, while its cost is not much in excess of common paints. It is easily applied by any person. Its effect upon any substance to which it is applied is the same as a coating of porcelain to an iron vessel; in fact, it hermetically seals the surface to the admission of air, water or any substance whatever. The only paint that will form a coating which completely resists all atmospheric influences, whether natural or from the necessary fires used about the blast furnaces, rolling mills, gas houses, sheet iron mills, etc. It has been used excessively among these industries during the past ten years, and in no instance has it failed to give satisfaction, fulfilling all claims made for it. In ordering Paint it is the best to also order the Cement, which must be used according to di- rections, in stopping leaks of any kind. Ten pounds will repair about one hundred leaks in joints, seams or rust holes; also use the Cement for flashing ; it is a permanent remedy for stopping leaks around chimneys and skylights.

Sheet Steel Ceiling, made in such a manner as to be easily applied by ordinary mechanics, supplies a much needed want in our building materials in places where plastered ceilings are un- suitable on account of their liability to become detached by jaring ot machinery, or any cause that produces jaring or concussion upon the floor above ; or where wood is unsuitable on account of its shrinking, letting dirt and dust sift through. But over and above these, however, 1s its intrinsic value as a FIRE-PROOF PROTECTION against the spread of fire in a building. All of the illustrated views herein shown are subject to change by selections made from the different body plates, border figuration and cornice designs, which will change approximate prices per roo square feet given at bottom of pages. We can furnish a plain ceiling, with cornice, ready to put up, as low as $6.00 per I1oo square feet, and as high in cost as $30.00, depending on the size of cornice, patterns of moulding strips, size and design of rosetts, size of center pieces, and amount of corner zinc pieces tsed. To give an intelligent idea of what a ceiling will cost, ready to put up, parties must send us a correct sketch of the room, giving all the dimensions, and select by numbers what they want from the different plates, such as Body Plates, Cornice, Moulding Strips, Border, Center Pieces, Ro setts, etc., then we can figure on amount of stock and cut of same, all boxed and delivered at rai]_ road station, with sketch or plans to work from, including nails and screws, all stock primed one coat. We can also furnish skilled men to apply when parties so desire. Our estimated cost of putting up per square, from $1.50 to $5.00, governed by style and kind of foundation it is to be applied to. In getting estimates on this class of work to compare with lath and plaster, several points must be favorably considered: First, plaster of the common run and plan, cuts no figure compared to steel ceiling ; but plaster, with center pieces and cornice moulding, etc., will; and our steel work proves less in cost. Second, while plaster is subject to cracking, falling off, shrinkage, etc., steel ceiling is not ; when ceiling becomes dingy and dirty, new work has to be done on them; steel ceiling only has to be washed with sponges and castile soap, and they at once assume a new face. Nosudden Jars, settling of buildings, or upset vessels of water give this class of work any damage; and for Hospitals, Institutes, Bath Rooms, Kitchens, etc., they are unequaled, holding no contageous dis- eases, vermin, etc., but clean, durable, neat and inexpensive, as compared to wood, plaster and papering. ‘The tinting and varnishing is a separate contract, and generally placed with your resi- dent painter.

Nee = TO THE PUBLIC. UR PRICE-LISTS do not conform to Association Prices and Rules, weights and Measurement. ~ The Association adopted rules that would and did not agree with our views as manufacturers. In the eighth resolution, viz: charging extra for trimmings; also, adding the American Gauge, No. « 26, and adding an extra Light Sheet called Roofing, standard gauge. Heretofore all roofing companies, either selling by the square or by weight, used the Standard Mill Gauge, and carried in stock the following weights per sheet, both of Standing Seam Roofing and Corrugated Iron: OLD SCALE. GAUGE NO. (de 24 22 20 ) WIDTH, 28% inches. WEIGHT PER SHEET. tay 18% 23% 28 J LENGTH, 96 NEW ASSOCIATION SCALE. (Basis, 6. 8 Feet Sheets constitute 100 square feet, shipped.) ce GAUGE NO.

( STANDARD. 26 24 22 20 ) _—— —— el _—- —_—— + ( 78 88 114 L35 165 J NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR TRIMMINGS. (THESE WEIGHTS ARE ON CORRUGATED IRON ONLY.) And on April 1, 1886, they added one odd weight of sheet, calling it No. 26 (English Gauge), and changed the American Gauge to Standard gauge (75 lbs. to the square), manufactured roofing or corruga- ted iron. The change was not necessary, and causes some misunderstanding among users and buyers. The difference is very slight, and not one out of ten would never know the difference, except he was well - posted in the sheet iron trade. And the buyer really has no great advantage over the American Gauge or standard, 70 lbs to the square, as the following list of weights per sheet will show: Standard Gauge, 111% Ibs. to sheet, plain, painted, 1134 lbs; 6 sheets, ‘“‘ 26x96”’ to the square, equals 100 square feet, about 70 lbs., 26 Gauge; 12% lbs. to the sheet, plain painted, 1234 lbs.; 6 sheets to square, “26x96” equals 100 sq. feet, about 78 lbs., a difference of 7 to 8 lbs, making an additional cost per square, 8 lbs. @ 4% cents equals 36 cents. (To get association gross weight, add weight of trimmings.) This only brings into stock one extra weight of sheet of small difference. It is and has been customary in the sheet iron roofing trade, in all branches, to purchase and use weights and thickness of even numbers, viz: Nos. 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, but not of the odd numbers, 27, 25, 23, 21 and 19; and when the Standard (Mill) Gauge, 26, 78 Ibs. to the square, was thought too light, then they used No. 24 American Gauge, 16 lbs. to the sheet, or 103 lbs to the square. And if the English or Standard (Mill) Gauge was used all through the Association, present weights would cause still more trouble and misunderstanding, as No. 24 English or Standard (Mill) Gauge would call for 19 lbs. to the sheet, which is 114 lbs. [the weight that we sell by and keep in stock always] to the square, instead of 103 lbs., so that little, if any, gain was made, and no building requiring a heavier weight per square than 78 lbs. would get any great advantage over stand- ard, 78 lbs., by using 83 lbs.; but if they used No. 24 Gauge, 114 lbs., then the difference would be of great service, and preceptible to any one, whether an iron dealer or not. We make this explanation for the purpose of making all things equal between our correspondents, patrons, competitors and ourselves. By our not adopting the rules and resolutions of the Convention, we are not able to quote on an even footing with those who are members. This is our only reason for adding the word s/andard to our 78 Ibs. to the square, or old No. 26, and making new quotations on American No. 26 (new weight) ; then again it offers to those who feel disposed to, a chance to overcharge on standard gauge, viz: parties ordering No. 26, and not knowing what it should weigh per square or sheet, would receive standard gauge, and have it billed as No. 26 in price. So, to have our patrons well posted, and know just what amount of iron we send to the square of each gauge quoted on, we print under each number the net weight per square as shipped. We say to all our inquiring list, and patrons, in getting prices from the different manufacturing compa- nies, be sure you make comparisons just, both as toamount of iron per square and the trimmings. We feel confident that if all things are fairly considered, our prices will compare with all other manufacturing com- panies. ‘There ought not to be any great difference in prices between any manufacturing company, in so far as roofing or corrugated iron is in question, as the cost in manufacturing is about equal between us all, Sheet iron does not vary in price among buyers of large quantities, quality used about equal, trimmings the same amount with us all. Devices are numerous, but vary little in cost to produce, so that we can not see any reason why all of the manufacturing companies should not quote about the same. Roofing and corrugated iron, without paint, cleats and wood sticks, would only make a difference of 30 cents per square —in some cases less. All that we ask of our inquiring buyers and customers is to make the comparisons equal as to weight per square, and amount of trimmings included, Yours very respectfully, THE PENN IRON ROOFING AND CORRUGATING CO., Limited.
