AVERY LIBRARY £0 CUMBIA UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTORY. | We wish to extend to our customers and friends "our thanks for their patronage and kind favors in the past which have been highly appreciated by us. We have been gratified to know that our goods have proved so satisfactory as to retain customers year after year, and it is our purpose to so keep up the standard of our Roofing and Siding that we shall merit their continued patronage and confi- dence. We also congratulate the trade in general on the accomplishment of uniform rules and methods of doing business among the Iron Roofing Companies, which was brought about by uniting in an association, Such an association was not or- ganized to form a monopoly and make high prices, which would be disastrous to the manufacturers themselves, but to do away with the friction and fighting among agents and dealers or consumers caused by the seeming differences in the prices quoted by different manufacturers. We say seem- ing differences in prices, for in reality there was not much difference nor could be as these goods cost the same all over the country, but it consisted in the details, such as allowance for laps or no allowance; amount of trimmings given away with the roofing, and other things which effect the price more ar less, rather than the real cost of the iron itself. Such misunderstandings are done away with by the adoption of these rules, which we print below, and they will bring about a new era and a healthy State in this important business. Every manufac- turer will sell his goods on their true merits and we | feel fortunate in that we know we have a superior — article of roofing to offer to the trade, viz.: Our — Crowt’s PATENT. By investigation and trial we feel justified in saying that you will find it to your ‘ advantage to handle and use our goods, and to this: end we ask you to write for our discounts and sam~ ples. All your orders shall have our careful atten— tion, and we guarantee satisfaction. ‘ ———_+@ Ht Notice. At a meeting of the NATIONAL [RON ROOFING AssocrATION, held at Cincinnati, March 23, the: following resolutions were adopted as the “uniform rules for measurements and weights,” of the mem~ bers of this association, taking effect April 1, 1887.

XSTOCK ALWAYS ON HAND. = eae b. This Roofing has gained its great popularity and — taken first medals because it possesses the follows ing merits of its own: : First.—It is made of the very best material, — viz: “Charcoal” Iron and “Sheet” Steel. SEconp.—The buckel is taken out of each sheet by the two corrugations which run lengthwise, (not deep enough to prevent turning of end locks © easily), but sufficiently deep to stiffen the sheet, sO that it will lay flat on the roof and not bulge by — expansion, which causes rattling and blowing off. CRETE Oo eS ater pe SGC Tuirp.—The edges are turned, forming the ca on the sheet, and ends are snipped before it leaves the factory, thereby saving much labor and tim when being put on. a Fourtu.--The Cap, being made from, and i part of the sheet itself, is not liable to loosen and blow off as separate caps are. (6) Firtn.—The sheets, being held together, as well as to the roof, by cleats, all punching and riveting are done away with, and no nail heads are exposed to the weather to rust. Sr1xtH.—Each sheet is carefully inspected and imperfect ones thrown out. The edges are trimmed with squaring shears, then painted on both sides with a painting machine which does its work per- fectly. . MATERIAL USED. We can not use common roofing sheet, as it would not stand the strain of folding the edges, therefore we use the Charcoal Iron, and Steel Sheet, all of which are more expensive than the common brand, which accounts for the difference in price between our Roofing and other cheaper styles. We purchase our iron from old and re- liable firms who have made this peculiar brand of roofing sheet a study for years. : Charcoal Iron is tough and pliable and entirely free from scales or cracks, and we guarantee each sheet to be perfect. STEEL SHEET. This is the “ Age of Steel,” and Steel Sheet is fast coming into use for roofing purposes. Besides possessing the toughness peculiar to steel it is pliable enough to make a double seam like tin, and can be bent either with or cross the grain without ay cracking. We paint and put it up same way as — Charcoal Iron. BOX ANNEALED IRON, This is a standard quality of sheet which is used for Corrugated and Crimped Edge Roofing and Siding. It is perfectly free from scales, and is pliable and tough. Each sheet is inspected and «“ guaranteed to be perfect. WIDE GUTTERS AND VALLEYS. We recommend the use of the best material for these purposes. Calamined Iron is often used as it can be soldered. Steel Sheet or Charcoal Iron, such as we use in our Crowl’s Patent Roofing, will 4 make a good job. WEIGHTS AND SIZES. We use standard gauge for all our Standing Seam Roofing, as this is the best weight, as heavier gauges are harder to handle- and it can not be folded and pinched into tight seams. The value i in roofing does not consist in its weight, but in the . quality. Our Roofing will last as long as kept painted, if it is a hundred years, and iron, if it could be worked twice as heavy, would last no longer. Heavy iron will crack in making, besides | it costs more to freight and handle it. Our Roofing weighs about 80 pounds per square when on, oe (8) Each sheet used in our Crowt’s Patent Roor- ING, before it is made, is 28x101 inches: when edges and ends are turned it measures 24x99 inches, which is our measurement, as we allow for all seams and end locks. We give six sheets for one square, which will lay 100 square feet on building. ARTICLES SENT WITH ROOFING. We give with each square of Roofing forty Cleats or Anchors, with which to fasten it. For Nails and Paints see pages 3-29-30. Dry Iron Paint for a finishing coat after it is on, and a sample to show how it is applied. TOOLS. To (put on Crow ’s Parent RooFInc it re- quires a pair of common Tinner’s Tongs, pair Snips, Hammer, and End Turner. To parties not having these tools we loan a set, to be returned as soon as first order is put on. Where tools are paid for we deduct the expressage when they are re- turned, and remit balance at once. Where they are not paid for parties should always prepay the express charges, or we will charge same up to them. When returning, always put your name on them so we may know who to credit for them when they come into our office. When parties want to act as agent, we sell the Tools at cost. Tongs, $2.00 per pair; Snips, $1.75; Hammer, $1t.00; End Turner, 50 cents. (9) — j \y or \y pitch are more desirable for this or any — PITCH. We don’t recommend to lay Crowl’s Patent on a roof having a pitch less than 11g inch per foot; other style of Roofing. Nothing is gained by — making flat roofs. A good pitch looks better and . costs less in the end. We make our Plain Rolled | Roofing for flat roofs. See page 17. DIRECTIONS FOR LAYING CROWL’S PATENT ROOFING. ; Before carrying the sheets up onto the roof, turn — the ends as sample shows. Commence at the eave on either end of building; turn down one edge and nail it to face or weather board so that no _ wind can get under the Roofing; also turn the — end down and nail tothe eave board. ‘Then anchor sheet on side with four or six cleats, and on upper — end with one cleat, and drive a nail through each } ear on upper end of sheet, as sample shows. These nail heads are entirely covered by next sheet, so that no nails are exposed to the weather. These two nails help materially to hold the Roofing se- curely to the roof, and as the other end is free to” move, being an elastic joint, they do not interfere with expansion. Drive the nails into the cleats on side of sheet close up to edge of the sheet as it will hold the Roofing much more securely than if driven in at the end of the cleat an inch or so from the edge. Run up course by hooking ends of sheets (10 ) together and hammering the end locks down solid close up to edges of sheets so as to make a tight joint, preventing all possibility of leaking. When course is up to comb cut the sheet off one inch longer than roof, so that our Lock Joint Ridge Comb can be made, as shown by cut No. 12 on back cover. Take the piece cut off at comb and commence at the eave the next course. This uses up all the iron and breaks joints, which helps the looks of the roof. The long cleats are bent back over both sheets, and then the seams or edges are pinched close together, as sample shows. Each course should be finished before commencing the next, as the edges could not be closed tight and close if the other edge of the sheet was anchored first. By the use of long cleats, which hold the sheets firmly together, we avoid all punching and riveting. Opposite side is laid in same manner, only ends of comb are cut off two inches longer than roof, so as to lock into the opposite side to form comb. COMB. Comb is made by flattening down or cutting off ends of the standing seams and turning up ends on one side one inch, and on opposit- side two inches. Anchor the one inch end with cleats, and then turn the two inch end down over the one inch end, as shown by cut No. 12. This is the best style of Comb that can be made. aR (11) HIP. Hip is made in same manner as Comb, after Roofing has been cut to the same angle as the hip. VALLEY. Valley is made by using Charcoal Iron or Steel, as shown by cut No. 5, page —. It is bent into the valley and the edges are turned up and then it is anchored to the roof by cleats. Then cut the Roofing sheets to same angle as valley, and at right length, and then flatten down or cut off the ends of the seams and turn the ends of the sheet. and then hook them into the edges of the valley iron, and hammer the joint down solid. FOUNDATION. This Roofing can be laid on sheathing or laths. ‘We recommend sheathing whenever possible, as we consider it the better foundation for any style of roofing. The sheathing can be of a cheap, ‘coarse quality, not surfaced, and answer every pur- pose. Where laths are used they should not be laid over twelve inches apart. In all cases where Roof- ing will be exposed to hot air, steam, or acids, tight sheathing should be used and a layer of Roofing Felt put under the Roofing. (12) AGENCIES. ' An agent for our goods means simply an exclu- sive customer for the territory assigned him; all inquiries from said territory thereafter are referred to him, which protects him in the sale of our goods. He buys the goods from us at such times and in such quantities as he desires, and makes his own selling prices to his customers. We furnish no . goods on commission, This cut shows our CROWL’s PATENT ROOFING applied to roof; sheet ready to lay; end lock, ears and cleat. A is sheet ready to lay; B shows sheet laid, with end cleated and ears nailed ready for next sheet to be laid; C shows cleat or anchor before the + sheet which is to connect with B is laid; D shows . cleat bent over to hold B to E; F' shows sheet finished, with cleats bent over and seams closed up; G shows cleat; 1 and 2 shows the two corrugations put into sheet to stiffen and take buckel out of it. Cas WE USE NO SEPARATE CAPS. It is very plain that where a separate cap is used _ the iron may be of a poor or common grade as the edges are only turned up once which can be done — on any iron. Where we turn the cap on the sheet — it is a guarantee that the body of our Roofing is just as good as the cap and it requires a tough ~ pliable iron to turn a cap without cracking. Again our caps being a part of the sheet it is impossible for them to become loose and blow off as separate — caps are liable to do. Use nothing but the BEsT. CISTERN WATER. Those using the water from this Roofing will be — pleased to find how much cleaner the rain water is than from a dirty shingle or gravel roof. The — covering being smooth, the wind keeps it clean from all dirt, leaving none to be washed into the — cistern. Our paint being made from pure oxide of iron and linseed oil, is not injurious. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? We have been frequently asked how long our Roofing will last, and we answer by saying that — every person knows that as long as iron does not rust it will last, and if it is kept painted it will not ¥ rust, There never is any friction on the under side to wear the paint off, and if the sv side is pains 14 ) EHR every four or five years, we do not see anything to prevent its lasting one hundred years. ITS ADVANTAGE OVER TIN. The weakest part of any roofing is its joints _ Therefore the more joints the weaker the roofing. _ Tin roofing having ten times more joints than iron it follows that in this respect alone it is inferior to it. Again, the durability of any metallic roofing _ depends largely on its protection by paint. Tin has _ ahard smooth surface which will not receive paint _ readily and does not absorb it which accounts tor _ leakage, as paint is very thin in spots and before detected holes are rusted through. Iron has a ’ rough porous surface which absorbs and holds paint readily and firmly. Iron is heavier and stronger = than tin. COMPARED WITH SHINGLES. The greater number of fires originate on the roof. The average life of a shingle roof is only ten years _ in town and twelve inthe country. Shingles, years _ ago, were made of prime timber, but are now made ; _ of soft trees, saplings, limbs and odd cuttings, be- % cause prime timber brings higher prices for other _ purposes. Shingles are dangerous, and fast growing in disfavor, Iron costs about the same, can be laid much faster, will last many times longer, looks _ richer and better, and is safe against fire and light- ning.

Unroll and cut off Roofing length of roof, al- lowing one inch for comb on one side, and two inches on opposite side, as shown by cut No. 12, cover page, and one inch or more for turning down at eaves. Commence at end of roof and then turn up the other edge one inch with tongs, as shown by man B, in cut No. 3; then anchor by nailing cleats about eighteen inches apart, Drive nail close to edge of Roofing, as it holds much firmer than if driven an inch or more from edge. Turn up edge on next course two inches and bring it up close to the one inch edge and turn it down over it to form cap with foot seamers, as shown by man D, in cut No. 3; then turn the end of the cleat over all and close up all tight with tongs, as shown by sample. Comb, Hip, and Valley, made same as on Crowl’ Patent. (See page 12 ) PITCH. While this style of Roofing can be laid on an style roof, flat or pitch, we recommend it espe- cially for flat roofs, as edges are turned more easily | (18 ) : 4 on them. Our Crowl’s Patent can be applied to ‘pitched roofs with less labor. Where roof is very flat and there is danger that water may run over seams, all danger of leaking can be avoided by using steel and turning double seams as on tin ‘roofing. ba es FOUNDATION. Plain Roofing should always be laid on sheath- ing, but can be laid on laths put four to six inches apart. For a first-class job we recommend sheath- ing in every instance. “TOOLS. To lay Plain Roofing it requires a pair Tongs, a pair Snips, Hammer, and Foot Seamers. This we loan to put on first order with. If party decides to act as agent we will sell the tools at actual cost, fviz: Tongs, $2.00; Snips, $1.75; Foot Seamers, $4.00; Hammer, $1.00 When retured, all express |Charges must be prepaid, and sender’s name on }card, so we may know who to credit when they ie é | apme into our office. \\4 ALLOWANCE FOR SEAMS. We allow for all seams on all our Standing Seam Roofing, so that what we send for a square will lay one hundred square feet on building. Before edges are turned the iron or sheet is twenty-eight inches de; after they are turned it will lay twenty-five (19) inches, or two and one-twelfth feet. We put up each roll forty-eight feet in length, which will mak one hundred square feet when laid. WEIGHT. . Same weight and quality of iron and steel as used in our Crowl’s Patent. (See page 8.) , All iron squared with squaring shears. To any one wishing to use our Roofing an Siding, we will be pleased to send additional direc tions for preparing the foundation on which to apply either style we manufacture. Being at the junction of two railroads, we have excellent shipping facilities, enabling us to get lov rates to all parts of the country. SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING. Pror. MITCHELL says: “It is impossible that building covered with iron should be injured b lightning; the large surface of the metal scattering ) the electricity and rendering it harmless.” ) Mr. MERRIMAN says: “Few persons realize the protection afforded during violent thunder storms, by shelter in a building covered with iron.” ( 20) Meo GC) eae [ orrvgated Sheet lron a * 7 - POSSESSES THE FOLLOWING QUALITIES DESIRABLE IN ALL ¥ COVERING MATERIAL. én a It is Strong and Durable.

(21) CORRUGATED IRON. Each sheet of our Corrugated Iron for Roofin and Siding has eleven C srrugations, two and one-_ half inches from center to center. According to uniform rules we do not allow for any laps on ) Corrugated Iron, but measure full width and lengt of sheet after it is Corrugated. Each sheet will lay net 25 inches wide. When making orders add 10 per cent. to net amount of surface to be covered for laps which is a safe rule when the ordinary en lap is made. Or send us the size of the building and we will send the proper amount. Standard lengths, 6, 7,8 and g feet. 4 CEILING. For Ceiling we make smaller Corrugations, one and one-fourth inch from center to center. As there ave more Corrugations, more iron is used up in Corrugating, so that Ceiling fron will only lay twenty-four inches net. Same rule of measure- ment as above for Roofing. ( 22 ) - fa Shows clearly the practical application of Wooden Ridge Joint and Iron Ridge Cap to Cor- tugated Iron Roofing, demonstrating the usefulness of the combination. MATERIAL USED FOR CORRUGATED ROOFING, SIDING and CEILING. We use both Annealed Iron and Steel. Iron is used mostly, as it answers every purpose and is not as expensive as Steel. Steel is used more for Standing Seam Roofing where edges are folded, ‘equiring a tough material, We paint it all on both sides. WEIGHT. Our standard weight is the standard gauge which will weigh when on about go lbs. per square. » 23) INSURANCE 's less on buildings roofed with iron. It is a wedl- mown fact, that Iron is the most thoroughly fire ivoof Roofing in use. Opposite cut shows a building covered with Drow ’s Patent RooFinGc and CorrRUGATED RON SIDING on body, and CRIMPED EDGE on L. ¥ is makes a very desirable building. Itis strong ind perfectly Fire-proof. We sell large amounts if it for Elevators, Mills, Factories, etc. It makes i cheap building and saves a large amount in in- { france. It is better to sheath the roof on which | 9 apply Roofing, but Siding can be nailed tostrips br purlines two feet apart. If desired to nail the iron to studding, place them twenty-five inches apart from center to-cermter. We prefer placing stu dding six to eight feet apart, and-nail strips two i eet apart across studding. rere DIRECTIONS FOR LAYING CORRU- GATED IRON. | Lap the edges one Corrugation and nail with Barbed Wire Nail, as shown by cut No 6, ving nail near top of Corrugation, about eight ches. apart for Roofing and twenty-four inches (20) for Siding. Lap ends on Roofing from four to s inches, and one to two inches on Siding. We furnish Ridge aepette e for Comb, as shovy by cut No. 7. ¥ No. 6. x Shows our Joint of Corrugated Wood, for goin between Ridge Capping and Corrugated Roofin on each side of ridge of the roof. This Joint is flat on one side, going next to th Capping, and Corrugated on the other side to'fi j the Corrugations of the Roofing. This Joint is just the thing to use where Corru- gated Roofing abuts against a wall where flashing is to be used; the flashing to be nailed over th joint and to the wall. ( 26) st —_-BEADED-—* Iron Siding ¢ Ceiling. ‘ Usual length of sheets, four and eight feet; cov- ering width, two feet. This makes nice Ceiling and Siding. . ’ The beads are small Corrugates about three- ights inch deep, and three inches from center to enter. It imitates three-inch boards. Can be ‘applied either perpendicularly or horizontally as |preferred, to boards, studding or joist placed the proper distance apart. Purchasers can paint it CR'MPED EDGE IRON. This cut shows our Crimped Edge Iron, with two Corrugations running through center of sheet. ( 27) This style is made of Annealed Iron about 2 Gauge, sheets eight feet long and two feet wid when made, weighing twelve and one-half pound! each, ard painted on both sides. These Crimpe Edges lap over each other, and are nailed same as shown by cut for Full Corrugated Iron Roofing If desired, an oval strip of wood can be used in edges, when used for roofing. When used for roofing, drive nail near top of Crimped Edge above wheré the water runs. Corrugations through the ~ center are one-fourth of an inch deep, same as in Crowl’s Patent; they take the buckel out of the sheet, making it stiffer, and preventing all rattling on roof. The iron being pliable, the ends can be spliced by cutting and turning them to make a lock joint, so that it can be used on any size of | roof without waste. The only tools required to. lay it are tinner’s snips and hammer. than roofing. We allow for side laps, and give six and one-fourth sheets for one square, each sheet being 2x8 feet or six feet square. No allowance for end laps. ; ~ PAINTS. It has been our custom heretofore, in commo with other companies, to send Dry Iron Ore Pain with the roofing, free of cost. But it has bee ( 28) ognized as a bad rule and should be done away with, because First—It almost invariably gets mixed up with the qails and cleats, as it is generally put in same box, making it very unpleasant to handle them. Second—Very few know how to mix the paint wroperly and it is often troublesome to get the proper oil and dryer at the time and place when nd where the roofing is put on. To avoid all this trouble to all concerned we have a to mix the paint ourselves and put it up in ans and sell it to our customers all ready to put nm, at alow price. We feel this will be more satis- ctory and believe our customers will think so to. owever, if our customers desire the Dry Paint as retofore we will send it and charge them for it. e also will send brush suitable to put the ixed paint on with for 40 cents. | One gallon will paint five squares of Iron or Tin (29 ) OUR MIXED PAINTS. ——_ Also DRY IRON ORE PAINT RED AND BROWN. Prepared especially for IRON, TIN and SHINGLE ROOFS, BRIDGES, BARNS, SHEDS, Brick Walls, Railroad Builings, Ete, Put up in 1, 2, 3, 4,5 and 10 gallon packages and barrels of 50 gallons. We mix ‘Our Own” Paints ourselves and guarantee them to be made of the best material. We use an Oxide Ore which has a very large percentage of Metallic Iron. One gallon will paint from 400 to 500 square feet according to condition of service. We also offer for sale Dry Iron Ore Paints in any quantity.
