MANUFACTURED BY GARRY IRON AND STEEL ROOFING C0.„ 152 Merwin St., Cleveland, O. fc * nl REMARKS. I N coming before the public with our Illustrated Catalogue, we will endeavor to show the various uses of Sheet Iron in the construction of all kinds of buildings. In the year 1870, Sheet iron was very little used for Roofing or other building purposes. We being the Pioneers in this Business, had good opportunity of seeing the rapid increase in demand ; in 1887, there were over 50,000 tons of Sheet Iron used for building purposes in the United States, showing that at pres- ent it stands ahead of any other article, and its cheapness, durability and adaptability make it the most desirable article now in use for Roofing. By our improved machinery, large capacity and superior advantages for shipping, we can fill all orders promptly and in the very best condition.

Awnings, etc., which are light, substantial and dura- ble, at reasonable prices. Send us plans and specifi- cations of structure, and we will make estimate on the same. The roof can be covered with our Garry Cap Roofing or Corrugated Iron, whichever parties prefer. The gauges of sheeting iron used for this purpose are Nos. 24, 22, 20 and 18, either painted or galvanized. DIRECTIONS FOR LAYING GARRY'S PATENT CAP ROOFING. If the roof is flat and sheds one way, send the exact length of roof, allowing two inches to bend over the eaves, and six inches to turn up for flashing in front, thus : d 45 ft. 8 in. Or, if the roof is gable, and sheds both ways, thus : edge. The strips are put up full length for either style desired, or if the roof is hipped, the required amount of roofing is put up in bulk — the strips being about fifty feet long, which can be cut the right length and shape to be used. The cross-locks are locked and grooved together, saving the labor of putting them together on the roof. Turn up each edge of iron or steel to \ '/ 2 inches with our Roofing Tongs — by this process the cross seams are also turned up— place the strip in position ; fasten down with cleat, putting them 15 inches apart ; after the roofing iron or steel is all laid, take the caps, which are shipped already formed, and place them over the standing seam, squeeze them up snugly with the tongs, and rivet it every 15 inches, as shown in cut. To fit around chimneys and skylights, cut the iron to fit snugly, the same as in tin roofing, but use our cement instead of solder in the corners or laps of iron. We always use tin or galvanized iron for gutters. Lock the iron or steel, double seaming it on the valley or gutter; fill the lock with cement or thick paint before pounding it down ; always have the back side of gutter higher than the eave. After the roof is all laid, give it a good coat of our Readv Mixed Metallic Pair*:. REMARKS We Claim for the Garry Cap Roof a Superiority over all others. is made of the best refined Box Annealed Iron or Steel. flfeg“By our patent we avoid nailing or screwing the joints, which heretofore was a serious objection to iron roofs, for experience has proved that nail holes, though ever so well covered up, will sooner or later leak, and nailing or screwing must, in alf cases, pre- vent the necessary expansion or contraction. HSy-The anchors, or cleats, being of the same mate- rial as the roof, by our patent process of attaching the same, though perfectly secure, do not interfere with expansion or contraction. fifesyAll the cross-joints are locked and grooved, which allows expansion and contraction in an equal ratio, while perfectly water tight. J(tSy"Our upright joints, capped and riveted, with the roof firmly flashed to side walls, become self-sus- taining, and have in many instances preserved the neighboring building, when roof-boards, rafters, etc., were burned away. B£aj“\Ve use no other than the “Metallic” and Pure Linseed Oil to protect the iron from the atmos- phere, which is from 75 to 100 per cent, more expen- sive, and proportionately more protective than any other article in the country. B@“Our “Cap” Roofing is shipped in rolls, which is much better than to ship in sheets with edges formed, as is the case with all other kinds of Iron or Steel Roofing but the Garry Cap. The expense of boxes is saved, and avoids the breaking of the locks, and flattening the edges down, and otherwise injuring the Roofing, which saves time and expense in laying it. 5 — As to durability, we can show where our Iron Roofing has been on for twenty years, and still is good. An occasional coat of our JletalliC Paint preserves the roof at a less cost than it takes to repair any other kind of roofing. J5@“The Garry Patent Cap Roofing from our Stand ard gauge (painted iron or steel is mostly used,) h adapted to all classes of buildings and shapes of roofs. 8@“A square of our Cap and Crimped Edge Roof- ing, as shipped from our factory, will cover a square (ioo square feet) on the building. Jg@“Sheet Steel is becoming largely used for roofing purposes, and costs but a little more than iron, and is superior. We give it a coat of our Metallic Paint before shipping. We furnish the genuine unless other- wise ordered. • Iusurance. Buildings roofed with iron or steel are insured at lower rates than those covered with any other material. Lightning. Few persons realize the protection afforded during a violent thunder storm by being in a building cov- ered with iron. Prof. Mitchell and other scientific men say that it is impossible for a building to be struck by lightning when covered with iron. You thereby save the expense of lightning rods. Water. Our Metallic Paint contains no acids or alkalies, therefore can have no bad effect upon the water. Fire and Wind. J3@?“We would call special attention of the public to the fact that there is no roof in the market as safe from lire and wind. The cross-locks or seams are grooved together and the seams are capped, then the whole is riveted together, so that in case of extreme fire or heavy wind, when the iron should become “ red hot,” or the wind get under the iron, the seams and locks cannot come apart, thereby preventing the fire from getting into the building; or, if inside, from bursting out and firing all adjoining. There are other spurious iron roofs in the market that imitate the Garry Cap Roof, where the cross seam is put together on the roof, simply malleted together, and the cap simply fastened on by an indenture or hole cut through, or the end of the cleat bent over the cap, all of which are no security against lire or win(b CARRY IRON AND STEEL ROOFING CO.’S ADJ USTABLE CAP ROOFING, GARRY IRON AND STEEL ROOFING CO.’S Adjustable Cap Roofing 1 Is made from our Refined Iron or Steel, painted, and Galvanized Iron, manufactured especially for roofing purposes, which is widely known in the market as the Garry Iron Roofing Co.’s. J3@“Before ordering Adjustable Cap Roofing, please compare it carefully with the Garry Cap, so you will make no mistake. Several of our customers have ordered the Adjustable when they wanted the Garry Patent Cap. We take this precaution to avoid mistakes and save you trouble. REFINED ROOFING IRON OR STEEL. Box annealed and free from hole and scale. The standard sheet of this kind of roofing is 2 x 8 feet, and takes about 6 ^ sheets to lay a square. The , sheets are all formed with side seam turned up, ends i locked, ready to apply on roof, when shipped. We furnish with this roofing the Cleats, Caps, Pins or I Nails for the Cap. In applying, we put two cleats in end of sheet, and five on each side; this prevents it from rattling when the wind blows hard, and secures it against blowing off. It is adapted to all styles and shaped roofs, but should have one inch or more fall to the foot. Our simple and perfect way of fastening the cap makes it the easiest and quickest applied of any in the market, especially on steep roofs. The cap is so j firmly fastened as to make perfectly secure from being i loosened or removed by fire or wind, yet at the same time it can be easily removed if necessary. Use five j pins to a cap (18 inches apart). It can be applied to sheeting or lath same as shingle > or other iron roofs. Shall be pleased to furnish you prices, 152 Merwin Street, — 8 CLEVELAND, G, NOTIC E We desire to call our agents’ and patrons’ attention to our plan of putting the Cap Roofing on buildings where the pitch or fall of roof is less than one inch to the foot. Lay the iron or steel, and before putting on the caps throw apart or open the standing seam, and fill or pack it — the seam — with Garry Iron Roofing Co.'s Cement; then put the Cap on, press or mallet it close together before riveting — by this process the cap is thoroughly filled with cement — then rivet the cap on; put the rivets every 8 or io inches apart. This makes the roof perfectly secure against leak when snow, ice or water stands upon it. This will add to the expense of the roof from fifty to seventy-five cents per square. Whenever there is an inch or more fall to the foot, it is not necessary to put the cement in the seam, but at all times press the cap close before riveting. We manufacture our Roofing and Siding from Refined, Box Annealed Iron or Steel, Painted and Galvanized Iron. flfe^One ply of Rosin or Waterproof Felt should be laid under the iron or steel where gas or steam are used in the building, or where there is heat next to the roof to cause dripping or sweating from condensation in cold weather. We desire to call Particular Attention to the (Question of Tools. Our Improved Tongs and Lever Punch, which are necessary for you to have to lay the Garry Cap Roofing, we will send with the roof and charge you ten dollars for them. If you do not want them after laying the roof, return them to us free of charges, and we will refund or credit you with the price charged you. In addition, you will need tinners’ shears, mallet, rivet set, etc.; also paint brush. If you cannot get them in your place, we will send them to you at lowest cash prices. Parties returning tools to us will please be particular to notify us by postal card. Also mark on shipping card whom and where from. By so doing, you will enable us to determine who shipped them. It is cheaper to return by freight than by express. — 9 — SMALL CORRUGATED. NOTICE. — We invite particular attention of our cus- tomers and the public that we have made a machine whereby we furnish our Medium Corrugated Iron Roofing and Siding with the Edge Corrugations K inch higher than those in the center of the sheet, as shown in the cut below at A and B. edges are nearly vertical instead of flaring, as it is with iron cor- rugated with other machines, which makes abetter and almost invisible joint, and hugs tightly instead of flaring out. Please investigate our goods before ordering elsewhere. — 10 - Corrugated Sheet Iron or Steel. PHINTBD HND GHL1ZHNIZED. Corrugated Roofing, Siding and Ceiling, Made from standard gauge Nos. 24, 22, 20 and 18; the standard 24 is mostly used. Wo make the large 5 inch, medium 3 inch and 2 K inch, and small \ x /i and % inch Corrugated Iron. The small \% inch, and medium 3 inch are mostly used, as shown in cuts Nos. 12 and 14. Small and Medium Corrugated. Our z'/ z inch corrugate will cover 22 x / z inches wide after lapping one currugate on side of sheet. Medium corrugated x / 2 to inches deep, 3 inches wide, after lapping one corrugate. Each sheet will cover 24 inches wide. Small corrugated *4) to x / 2 in. deep, and ltf inches wide. Each sheet will cover 25 inches wide, after lapping one corrugate. We make no allowance for laps or corrugated iron, but measure the full size of sheet after it is corrugated. Tho standard sheets are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 feet long for the 3 inch corrugation ; 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 feet long for 1J4 and 2 X A inch corrugation. Extra price charged for cutting extra special lengths. When sheets are required 5 Vi, 6 'A, 7%, 8)4 and 9)4 feet long, we ship sheets 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 feet long respectively, and charge for full length, except it be a large order and sufficient time (two or three weeks) is allowed us to get the sheets rolled to special length wanted. When lengths of sheets arc not specified in order, we always ship 8 foot lengths. We use the Box Annealed, Painted and Galvanized Iron or Steel for all our work. We furnish Barb Nails and Lead Washers at the lowest market prices. DIRECTIONS. Commence and lay the sheets from the eaves to comb, lap- ping the ends from 2 to 4 inches if the roof is one-fourth pitch or more, but if less, lap them from 4 to 6 inches. The next course, lap the side of sheet one corrugate and nail through the lap in the side of corrugate about one foot apart, if the roof is laid upon sheeting, but if laid upon joist or lath, nail in them. Nail the end lap in every other corrugate through the top of corrugate. When laying the sheets, put a few nails close to the outside edge of sheets, to hold them in position. Corru- gated Iron should not be laid upon a roof with less than 3 inches to the foot fall. We furnish Leap. Washers at tho lowest market prices, if desired. 11 — PATENTED 1887. Fluted or Corrugated Ridge Capping. Fig. 33— No. 5. Fig. 34-No. 6. This Ridge Capping for Corrugated Roofing is the most perfect article in the market, and absolute pro- tection against storms blowing under. The flutes or corrugations correspond exactly with our 3 inch medi- um and small Corrugated Roofing. You should not lay Corrugated Roofing on a ridge roof without using it. Order it when you order the roofing. This Capping will fit down closely in the flutes of the Corrugated Roofing, making them absolute against storms driving under. It is the most practical Ridge Capping in the market for Corrugated Roofing. We make it to fit the corrugates in our medium, 3 inch, and small, inch, Corrugated Roofing. CORRUGATED FLASHING. SIDE WALL. Fig. 35. FRONT WALL. This Flashing is made to correspond with our (3 // and 1 }i") medium and small corrugate, and should be used at all times when the walls project above the roofing. - 12 - Corrugated Iron or Steel Siding FOR ELEVATORS. Fig. 18. This siding is designed more particularly for Grain Elevators. The corrugations are made crosswise of the sheet, so when applied they will run up and down the building, giving more elasticity to the iron, and preventing its buckling, as other iron siding does, when the building settles. In laying, we lap the sheet on the one below about one inch — as shown in cut — then nail through the upper sheet about one inch above the lap, thus allow- ing for movement of the iron, as the building settles. In ordering Corrugated Siding, say whether to corru- gate cross or length of sheet. Send for prices. We furnish Eave and Gable Cornice, Corner Strips, Window Casing Coverings and Cap Piece over Door and Window, at the lowest market price. ROSIN AND WATER-PROOF FELTING. We are prepared to furnish the trade or customers with Rosin and Water-proof Felting at the very low- est market prices. There is nothing in the market equal to our Rosin and Water-proof Felting for laying under Iron, Tin or Slate Roofing and Lining for buildings, or where felting is used. Send for sample and prices. #®"One-ply of Rosin Felt should be laid under tht Iron where gas or steam is used in the building, or where there is heat next to the roof to cause dripping or •westing from condensation in cold weather. - 13 BEADED IRON OR STEEL SIDING AND CEILING. Fig. 45. Usual length of sheets, four to eight feet; covering width, two feet. This makes nice Ceiling and Siding. The beads are small Corrugates about three-eighths inch deep, and three inches from center to center. It imitates three inch boards. Can be applied either perpendicularly or horizontally, as preferred, to boards, studding or joist placed the proper dis- tance apart. Purchasers can paint it any color. CRIMPED ROOFING AND SIDING. Fig. 41. Three Crimped Siding. Fig. 44. CRIMPED ROOFING APPLIED DIRECT TO RAFTERS. Fig. 43. This roofing is designed for a cheap class of build- ings, such as Rolling Mills, Furnaces, Cotton Sheds, Barns, Awnings, etc. It can be laid upon sheeting boards, cross strips or rafters, without sheeting boards. The advantage of our Crimped Roofing over others of similar kinds is, that we form a lock on the end of the sheet before it is shipped, which makes it much better than lapping the ends, or forming the locks on the roof, which has to be done to that furnished by all other manufacturers. Also, it can be laid with- out the use of the three-sided wood strip (V strip) or without forming the rafter to fit the crimp — thus saving the expense of the wood strip. If parties prefer to use the V strip, we will furnish them a.t the lowest market price, or will send sample piece with the roofing, and parties can get them out where the roofing is used ; but we always lay this roofing with- out a strip. In laying the roof, always nail through on the top of the crimp, and not the sides, using the inch Wire Barb Nail. Set it down close, but not so as to flatten or dent the crimp. We can furnish the nail at market rates. When laid upon rafters without sheeting boards, the rafters must be laid two feet apart, from center to center, (as the sheets lay two feet wide). It can be laid upon a pitch of three inches to the foot. Hf == Garry Iron Roofing Co.’s Metallic Tiles or Shingles. Our Metallic Tile or Shingle is made from the Garry Refined Roofing Iron or Steel, painted with our 44 Metallic Paint/' also from Galvanized Iron and Tin. The sheets are 14x14, and will lay 12x12 inches, and stamped into such forms as to make them impervious to rain, wind and snow, besides being very archi- tectural in appearance. They are fastened to the roofing boards in such a way that they are held firmly and no exposure of nails. They are formed in a press, uniform in size and shape, and can be easily applied by any one. Each plate fits in its place perfectly, so that the nail hole, the tongue on the lower end of each plate, and slot in each left hand side at the apex (see cut) all come into their proper place, so there can be no mistake in applying. One hundred will lay a square. This roofing is used for Mansard, Gothic, Queen Anne, and all buildings having a quarter 04) pitch. It is not calculated for flat roofs. It is oeautiful, durable, light and cheap. It is well adapted for fancy fiding. — 16 — CONTINENTAL METALLIC SHINCLES. Fig. 47.

Line the space to cover in squares of 8J inches, except the first line from the edge of eave and gable, which should be 7J inches. This allows one inch for bending down at the eave and gable. For the first course at eave, cut the Tile crosswise through the center of sheet, and lay the upper half at eave. Commence at the left-hand corner and let them pro- ject over edge one inch, to bend down and nail. The lower half will finish the roof at comb. For the gable, cut the Tile through the center lengthwise, and lay the right hand piece on gable, allowing one inch to bend down and nail. The left- hand half will finish at the opposite gable. Keep the points of the Tile upon the lines so that each Tile will come in its proper place. In laying the Tile, place the Tongue at lower end of Tile into the slot which is cut in the left-hand corner of Tile, then nail where the holes are made. Where there is a gutter or valley on the roof, line the gutter or valley with tin, the same as for slate or shingles. Let the tin extend well up the roof. For first or lower course, strike a line parallel with comb of roof, a little above the highest point of gutter, then a second line 8£ inches above, and parallel with the first line ; then line away as above described. Cap the ridges and hips with either kind of our Ridge Capping (see page 27). We recommend the use of our Water-proof or Rosin Felting under the | Tile, which we furnish at the lowest market prices. We furnish nails adapted to the work at market prices. After the roof is completed, paint the whole over with our Ready Mixed Metallic Roofiug Paint, which we furnish at the VERY LOWEST market prices. It takes 1 about one quart to coat a square. We recommend the | purple color. Send for samples, circulars and prices. GARRY IRON AN1) STEEL ROOFING CO., 153 Merwin Street, CLEVELAND, O. — 18 — Swiss Cottage Metallic Siding and Roofing. Fig. 72.

The principal features of the GARRY IRON ROOFING CO.’S SHUTTER are : It is made of wood, covered with Fire-Proof Cement, and encased in Sheet-Iron. The wood gives stiffness and prevents warping in case of fire, and the cement the radiation of heat. It can not fire the window casings, as those made entirely of iron. Neither will it warp by heat or admit of flames. We claim from experience that it is the only really Fire-Proof Shutter made. Also, we make a cheap shutter with one thickness of board and cov- ered with Iron or Tin. Send exact size of opening, inside of brick jamb, also exact location of the eyes. We also manufacture the BOILER PLATE SHUTTER, all Iron. Garry Iron Roofing Co.’s Cement. Fig. 69. ROOFERS AND BUILDERS Have long felt the need of some material to take the place of solder for repairing old roofs. The success- ful use of our Cement for fifteen years gives us utmost i confidence in introducing it as the only Cement in the ^ market that can be used with success in laying or re- pairing Iron or Tin Roofs or Gutters. By thinning it down with Boiled Linseed Oil, it makes the best paint or coating for iron or tin now in use. Our Cement is clear from acids, alkalies or tar substances, thus leaving the water perfectly pure. Its composi- tions are such that it remains in an elastic condition for years, at the same time hardening on the surface sufficient to walk over it without injury. Owing to its elasticity, it accommodates itself to the expansion and contraction of metal, and does not crack or peel ; off. Old tin roofs and gutters that were repainted j some ten years ago, and seemed comparatively worth- less at the time, are good to-day. It is put up in iron j cans, holding fifteen, twenty-five, and fifty pounds, j Directions are sent with each can. DIRECTIONS. For repairing old metal roofs or gutters, clean off all the ! dirt and loose paint ; have the roof or surface perfectly dry, then fill all holes and broken places with cement. You should . then give the whole surface one good coat of our Mixed Metal- lic Paint, if you have it; if not, you can add sufficient boiled linseed oil to some of the cement to reduce it to the consistency of good paint. Should you wish it to dry quick, add a little Japan Dryer. Send for prices. METALLIC PAINT DR,Y. Mixed Ready (or Use. Ground In Oil, (Paste Form.) Fig. 66. We manufacture our own Metallic Paints, having large works for this purpose, from the purest, toughest and hardest Lake Superior Iron Ore, of four colors — Rossie Red, Purple, Brown and Yellow. Owdng to its heavy body, adhesiveness and elasticity, it is far the best paint in the market for iron, tin and wood paint- ing. Take it in connection with the Garry Iron Roofing Co.’s Cement, old tin roofs and gutters can be thorough- ly repaired without using any solder, which is much better and cheaper. The dry paint should be mixed with boiled linseed oil to the same consistency as any other dry paints. If you wish to apply it on iron, tin or w'ood, a little dryer may be used if desired to have it set quick, but for painting or repairing old iron or tin roofs, or for coating shingles, it should be mixed quite thick and spread on quite heavy. One coat is usually sufficient for iron or tin. Our Ready Mixed Paints are first-class and made of pure material. Give them a trial. We also grind our dry paints in oil, and put up in packages to suit our customers. Special prices made to dealers and large consumers. Our Paints are extensively used for painting railroad cars, buildings and bridges of all descriptions. We call the special attention of railroad men, car builders and contractors to our paints. Send for samplas and prices. 31 - SAMPLE COLORS „ OF OUR MIXED PAINTS. (Rossie) RED. PURPLE. Our Mixed Paints are prepared ready for use us with the best improved machines.
