 OUR STANDARD ROOFING, 
 
 (The Smith Patent Folded Lock Seam,) 
 
 ALWAYS IN STOCK FOR PROMPT SHIPMENT. 
 
 This kind is the nicest, most perfect and 
 reliable that can be produced, and is suitable for 
 , buildings of any kind. It can be laid on either 
 [ lath or sheeting boards, and attached to either 
 iron or tin gutters and valleys, and forms its own 
 ridge and hip caps by a seam combined with the 
 roof. Is easily formed and nice in appearance. 
 
 C&’Some plans of construction are not 
 j reliable, and should not be used, however cheap 
 ! in price. 
 
 For this plan we use none but best refined 
 charcoal iron, box annealed, and free from scale. 
 It is all made specially for our use by a mill 
 which for years has produced the best roofing 
 iron in the market. Common iron would not 
 endure our plan of folding into tight seams. To 
 test iron, hold it near the ear and bend it; if it 
 produces a crackling sensation it is only common 
 iron and contains scale, though hidden by paint, 
 which in time will blister and rub off, leaving the 
 surface exposed. 
 
 The iron is carefully inspected, and imperfect 
 sheets thrown out The edges are trimmed by 
 squaring shears, then painted on both sides by a 
 machine that does the work better than can be 
 done by hand. 
 
 The materials used in painting first coat, are 
 best iron ore paint, reground in oil, then mixed 
 in pure boiled linseed oil and japan dryer. The 
 I oil an <! iron oxide paint is best for the purpose, 
 and is in perfect affinity with metal. 
 
— 4 — 
 
 As box-annealed iron is free from scale, the 
 paint adheres tenaciously and will never blister 
 nor rub off. 
 
 jEH^There is as much difference in quality 
 and value of plan of construction of iron roofs, as 
 in other goods. 
 
 j£jff“The quality of iron used for this plan, 
 and the guage No. 26, also our folded lock seams 
 and plan of construction, are shown by the sam- 
 ples we send by mail when requested. 
 
 The Gauge shown— is the best to use, as 
 heavier gauges could not easily be folded into 
 tight joints. 
 
 The Durability depends on the quality of 
 iron, (not on thickness,) and on the paint. Paint 
 is the protection of all metallic roofs. 
 
 The iron will last as long as properly protected 
 with paint, though it be 100 years. 
 
 The weight, is about SO lbs. per square. 
 
 Price per square, $4.00. 
 
 (What constitutes a square, see page 6.) 
 
 STEEL ROOFING. 
 
 Our soft steel roofing is warranted made of 
 genuine Siemens & Martin patent open hearth 
 hammered steel, and box annealed. This steel 
 is well known to be better than any other kind. 
 Sheet steel has no grain and is as tough crossways 
 the sheet as lengthways. 
 
 We guarantee the steel free from holes, to 
 stand double seaming, and not to crack nor break 
 under any test. The steel is superior to any iron, 
 as it is finer and stronger, and needs no arguments 
 to prove its merits for roofing. It is painted and 
 prepared for shipping in the same way as our 
 Standard Iron Roofing. To introduce it quickly 
 we offer it very low. 
 
 Price per square $4.25. 
 
 (What constitutes a square, see page 6.)

 CALAMINED IRON ROOFING. 
 
 Our Calamined Iron Roofing is made of 
 double refined iron ; it is superior to galvanized 
 iron, as the coating never cracks nor scales, and 
 solders more strongly, with either rosin or acid, 
 than any other kind of material. The calamine is 
 a combination of non-corrosive metals. The iron 
 is put twice through the hot calamine dip, which 
 | penetrates the pores and makes the iron imper- 
 vious to dampness and more pliable. 
 
 CALAMINED STEEL. 
 
 We also furnish Calamined Steel, known 
 in quality as “Best Bloom.” It is used for roofs, 
 
 | gutters, and for tinners’ stamping purposes, and 
 whenever exceedingly strong material is required. 
 
 Unless otherwise ordered, the Cala- 
 mined Iron Roofing is painted and put up in same 
 ! way as the charcoal iron. 
 
 Price, put up this way, per square, $5.75 
 
 Price, crosslocks soldered, but not painted. . 5.75 
 Price, crosslocks both soldered and painted.. 6.00 
 
 Calamined Steel, 50 cts. per square higher. 
 
 (What constitutes a “square,” see page 6.) 
 
 It is better to have the crosslocks both sol- 
 dered and painted when the iron is to be laid on 
 a very flat surface. The iron should always be 
 painted before the standing seams are folded. 
 
 In ordering Calamined Iron Roofing, 
 state which way we shall prepare it. 
 
 PITCH OF ROOF. 
 
 This roofing can be laid on any pitch not less 
 than !<2 inch to the foot, though one inch or more 
 I is preferable for any kind of roof. As our iron is 
 painted both sides before folding, the standing 
 seams are more water tight than standing seams 
 in tin roofs, which are not painted until after 
 joints are made, and have no paint inside. 
 
— <5 — 
 
 SIZE OF SHEETS. 
 
 The size of sheets is 27 inches wide, by 96 or 
 more inches long. The covering width on roof 
 when the side seams are formed is 2 feet from 
 center to center of standing seams. 
 
 HOW SHIPPED. 
 
 This roofing is shipped in rolls of convenient 
 size, wrapped in heavy paper, secured by wire. 
 
 Each roll contains six or more sheets con- 
 nected at ends by folded and grooved water tight 
 flat locks as shown in sample. 
 
 ^fl^Strips of any special length desired, will be 
 shipped to order when exact lengths wanted are 
 specified in feet and inches. Every roll is labeled 
 showing in figures the length of the strip con- 
 tained and the covering width. The figures 
 multiplied together will give the number of square 
 feet in the roll. We always count the full length 
 but charge nothing for three inches of the width 
 allowed for the standing seams. 
 
 WHAT CONSTITUTES A SQUARE. 
 
 fJGF'A Square, (100 sq. ft.) of this roofing, as 
 sold by us, consists of a strip 50 feet long, or its 
 equivalent — and includes one pound of cleats, 
 (about 40) 135 one-inch No. 10 steel wire barbed 
 nails, and one pound of dry iron ore paint for final 
 coat, and use of our tools to apply the roofing. 
 
 When ordering make allowances for edges, 
 ridges and hip seams ; see cut 5, page 30. 
 
 ^I^Customers ordering paint mixed ready 
 for the brush, will be charged extra for the 
 same. See notice and prices on page 22. 
 
 When required to cut strips of roofing to 
 specified lengths in feet and inches, to avoid waste 
 and loss of time at measuring and splicing when 
 the roofing is laid, we charge 10 cents per square 
 extra. This can be done more accurately on our 
 bench, and is usually economy to the buyer. 
 
ROOFERS' AND BUILDER'S PAPER. 
 
 We keep three kinds ; and recommend their 
 use under the iron, on dwellings and grist mills, 
 and wherever gas, steam, sulphur or heat strike 
 the under side of the iron direct; also where 
 needed for deafening sound.

 GUTTERS AND VALLEYS. 
 
 We recommend Calamined Iron and Cala- 
 mined Steel as the very best material to use for 
 gutters in any kind of roof. This material solders 
 more strongly than any other, and will out-last 
 ordinary buildings. 
 
 Our Charcoal Iron and Soft Steel is used by 
 some parties, but the Calamined is unquestionably 
 the safest. No material is too good for such 
 purposes, and the best is the cheapest in the end.

ROOFING TOOLS. 
 
 This roofing cannot be laid rightly and rap- 
 idly, without using our tools made specially for 
 this roofing. We always send tools, (except to 
 agents having a set of their own.) We charge 
 nothing for their use, if promptly returned as 
 soon as the iron is laid, but we always charge 
 estimated cost for return expense. 
 
 Return them to us as a box of castings, (so 
 as to get a lower freight rate.) Always attach a 
 card showing who returned them ; and send the 
 shipping receipt to us by mail, as proof of ship- 
 ment, to enable us to trace them if they get lost. 
 
 fPflTToOLS NOT RETURNED PROMPTLY aS S0011 
 
 as the roofing is laid, will be considered sold, and 
 subject to sight draft. 
 
 ^S^For full directions for applying roofing, 
 see printed instructions inclosed with sample. 
 
 COST OF LABOR TO APPLY 
 THE SMITH PATENT ROOFING. 
 
 50 cents per square is about the average, 
 though the cost varies from 25 to 75 cents. All 
 depends on the wages paid, experience and skill 
 of the men employed, and the size and shape of 
 the roof. Labor will cost, in most cases, from 
 $1.25 to $2.00 per day for carpenters, ordinary 
 mechanics and intelligent workhands. Good 
 tinners in many places charge from $2.00 to $2.50 
 per day. On large and plain jobs, 10 squares per 
 day to each man employed, has been laid, though 
 4 or 5 squares is about the average. On very 
 steep roofs, small roofs, or where there are many 
 gutters, valleys, chimneys, scuttle holes, ventil- 
 ators, etc., to be flashed, the roof will be laid 
 accordingly slower than on large plain jobs.

 (■HP 
 
 ^®T“To estimate total cost per square of iron 
 roof finished, add cost of one square of material* 
 
 | freight, labor, and one-sixth gallon linseed oil to 
 mix the dry paint for final coat, (or 15 cts. per 
 | square for ready-mixed paint.) 
 
 ir We can furnish one or more experienced 
 i roofers to apply the roofing, when wanted, at 
 $2.50 per day, and all expenses from start to 
 return, but this is unnecessary in ordinary cases, 
 as any mechanic or intelligent work hand, can 
 apply the roofing, after carefully reading our 
 printed instructions, examining the cuts, and 
 seeing our sample and tools ; the tools cannot 
 work wrong, nor out of gauge. 
 
 j HOW LONG WILL IRON ROOFING LAST? 
 
 This question has ceased to be asked where 
 I this roofing is known. We know of iron roofs in 
 j ( use 49 years and still in good condition. We 
 furnish better iron roofs now than were ever made 
 before. Iron without scale will never shed 
 paint. The paint on the under side is not ex- 
 posed, and can never wear off, hence so long as 
 the roof is sufficiently protected it will last in- 
 definitely. 
 
 IW-To REPAIR IRON ROOFS SEE INSTRUCTIONS 
 INCLOSED WITH SAMPLE. 
 
 LIGHTNING PROOF. 
 
 This claim is not an advertising assertion, 
 j but is a fact. Lightning has never been known 
 to injure a building covered with an iron roof, 
 which is conclusive proof. Authorities say : 
 “Combustion cannot occur, as the large metallic 
 I surface scatters the electricity and renders it 
 | harmless;” all danger from lightning and ex- 
 pense of lightning rods is saved. Iron bridges 
 and iron buildings are never injured by lightning. 
 
— 10 — 
 
 WATER PROOF. 
 
 No complaints of getting out of repair, or j 
 leaking have ever been reported to us, when this I 
 roofing was properly applied and the roof finished ! 
 according to our printed instructions. 
 
 We consider this sufficient evidence. 
 
 Can this be said of other roofs ? 
 
 Healthy Water. There is nothing injurious 
 in the paint. Its smooth surface holds but little 
 dust, which disappears with a few minutes rain, 
 after which the water is clear and healthy. 
 
 WHY BETTER THAN SEPARATE CAPS? 
 
 Because our side joint is a folded lock, and 
 more reliable and water tight, and our folded 
 edge only on one bide of the standing seams, 
 better resists capillary attraction of water than 
 single edges used on other plans. 
 
 Separate Caps cannot be made to conform 
 snugly to the joints, if the surface is in the least 
 uneven, without causing the edges to bulge or 
 buckle, and in time become loose and the whole 
 roof endangered. These objections are overcome 
 by our plan of solid and firm cap and sheet com- j 
 bined folded lock seams. 
 
 Our flat seams or cross locks are water tight, 
 and far better than when made on the roof with 
 nothing solid to mallet on, as is required by roofs 
 put on in separate sheets, and the advantage of 
 having these seams ready made, is far greater, 
 than having the side edges ready turned ; as ex- 
 perience has proved. 
 
— II — 
 
 COMPARED WITH TIN ROOFING. 
 
 Tin roofs rattle, get loose, and become leaky 
 ten times as often as iron roofs. 
 
 The iron is stronger, has fewer seams, and 
 can be applied faster and on a cheaper surface. 
 
 Iron joints contain paint on inside, which 
 acts as a cement and prevents leaking. 
 
 Tin roofs contain from 5 to 20 times as 
 many joints, and have no paint on the inside, 
 and being rigid with solder, and the material 
 weaker, often break from vibration, contraction, 
 and crystalization of the solder. 
 
 The iron joints are elastic, and never injured 
 by contraction and expansion. The tension is 
 more uniform in iron roofs and they are less liable 
 to get out of order ; iron roofs can be more cheaply 
 repaired by anyone. 
 
 Tinned or leaded roofing plates for the Amer- 
 ican market are of inferior and cheapest quality, 
 to compete in price. 
 
 Tin is made of sheet iron, dipped in a pow- 
 erful acid, which enters the pores, and cannot be 
 washed out ; it is then dipped, in a solution of tin 
 or lead, which is all run off by electric process 
 except 2 to 4 per cent., which is not enough to 
 hold solder strongly. Many small cavities and 
 pores, though generally imperceptible to the eye, 
 are not coated, and when exposed to the atmos- 
 phere will corrode more quickly, because of the 
 acid in the pores. “A machine is no stronger 
 than the weakest part.” Iron is the base in both ; 
 paint is the protection of both ; hence the iron 
 with the above advantages, is more reliable. 
 
 Tin roofs are usually allowed to rust a few 
 weeks, to take the paint better, and then painted; 
 this being an additional charge of 50 cents per 
 square. Iron is already painted and corrosion 
 never allowed to commence. 
 
— 12 — 
 
 gjtrin Great Britain, where all the tin is j 
 made, iron is used generally, and tin plates but 
 little. Iron roofing plates appear in English 
 metal quotations. These facts outweigh any 
 theory as to tin. “ Truly not all that glitters is 
 gold." 
 
 COMPARED WITH SLATE. 
 
 Slate requires a heavy and expensive struc- 
 ture to bear its weight, and must be steep, which 
 makes more surface to cover. Weighs from five 
 to seven times as much, often breaks from shrink- j 
 age of the timbers, freezing, thawing, and heat . 
 from adjacent fires, and blows off, and is very 
 costly to repair. In many States firemen are not 
 required by law to go on a slate roof, (for obvious 
 reasons.) Cannot be walked over while repairing 
 gutters, chimneys, lightning rods, etc., and are 
 not lightning proof. Driving storms force snow 
 and rain through the roof. 
 
 It holds more heat in summer, and more cold 
 in winter. When gutters are flooded with ice and 
 snow, it will leak; in any event, metallic gutters 
 are always required for the more dangerous parts. 
 
 COMPARED WITH SHINGLES. 
 
 The greater number of fires originate on the 
 roof. The average life of a shingle roof is only 10 1 
 years in town, and 12 years in the country, j 
 Shingles, years ago were made of prime timber, 
 but are now made of soft trees, saplings, limbs, 
 and odd cuttings, because 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 
 lightning.

 CORRUGATED IRON. 
 
 ff Wc guarantee our Corrugated Iron, 
 Crimped Edge Iron, and Beaded Iron, to be of 
 good quality ; box annealed, free from scale and 
 holes, painted on both sides, (unless otherwise 
 ordered) and the formations the most perfect in 
 I the market. 
 
 SIZE OF CORRUGATES. 
 
 We make the two most popular sizes: 3 
 inches from center to center of corrugates, by % 
 inch deep, and 2 inches from center to center of 
 corrugates by % inch deep. 
 
 GAUGE OF IRON. 
 
 No. 26 gauge is most used. We keep iron of 
 No. 26 gauge always in stock for prompt shipment, 
 and always ship No. 26 when no gauge is specified 
 in the order. 
 
 LENGTH OF CORRUGATED SHEETS. 
 
 8 feet is the standard length and always 
 | shipped unless otherwise ordered. 
 
 We keep in stock sheets 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 feet 
 long, for prompt shipment. 
 
 Heavier gauges than 26 made only to order 
 and on sufficient notice, usually two or three weeks. 
 
 Covering widths exactly 2 feet, exclusive of 
 one corrugate for side lap on each sheet, which 
 we allow without charge, though we always 
 charge for the full length of sheets. Some manu- 
 facturers charge also for side lap. Purchasers 
 should consider this in buying, as it makes a dif- 
 ference of 6 to 9 sqr. ft. in a square, (100 sq.ft.) 
 
— 14 — 
 
 CORRUGATED IRON ROOFING. 
 
 Is used on some kinds of buildings, though for 
 roofs, we advise the use of our Standard Roofing, 
 The Smith Patent, folded seams; as the joints 
 in corrugated iron are simply laps, and liable to 
 leak. When corrugated iron is wanted for roof- 
 ing, we ship the 3 inch by % size corrugates, 
 unless otherwise ordered ; as it is preferable to 
 smaller corrugates for this purpose. 
 
 CORRUGATED IRON SIDING. 
 
 Is now very popular. We recommend it for| 
 all frame buildings, except dwellings. 
 
 For large buildings the 3-inch by % size 
 corrugates are preferable, and for smaller build- 
 ings the 2-inch by %• 
 
 Gauge No. 22 and heavier may be applied to 
 rafters or studding, and the lighter gauges on 
 sheeting boards, cross timbers or heavy lath. 
 
 ^jfiPTn ordering make allowance for such! 
 end laps as you wish to use, which is usually 3 tc 
 6 inches on roofs according to pitch, and 1 to 3 
 inches on siding, and estimate such length oil 
 sheets as will cover the surface to the best advan- 
 tage, and not require any unnecessary cutting:] 
 also fill out the diagram on page 31 and 32, so we! 
 may see that your order is correct. 
 
 We always charge full price for waste in cut 1 
 ting sheets to special order, if any occurs, thougl 
 no waste occurs when sheets are cut into equa ; 
 parts, but for 5%, 6 }4, 7 and 9J£ fooi 
 lengths, we send respectively, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 1( 
 foot sheets and charge for full lengths.

 CRIMPED EDGE IRON ROOKING AND siding. 
 
 Length of sheets, 8 feet. Covering width, 2 feet exact. 
 
 This style is frequently used for siding, and 
 roofing on rolling mills, factories and sheds. 
 Sheets are lapped at ends. Purchasers can cut 
 and turn a hem and make end lock on sheets 
 when desired, (see instructions.) When so or- | 
 dered, we turn end locks, but charge extra. We j 
 always furnish triangular wood strips for this iron. 
 
 ^U^When ordering for siding make allow- ! 
 ance for 2-inch end lap, and when for roofing, 3 ! 
 to 6-inch end lap, according to pitch. When made 
 with end locks, allow one inch at each end of 
 sheets, (see cut in instruction sheet.) 
 
 Guaranteed good iron, box annealed, free 
 from scale, painted on both sides, free from holes,

 AGENCIES. 
 
 An agent for our goods, means simply an ex- 
 clusive customer for his place and vicinity; 
 all inquiries from said territory will be re- 
 ferred to him, which protects him in the sale of 
 our goods. He buys the goods from us at sucli 
 times, and in such quantities as he desires, and 
 makes his own selling prices to his customers. 
 We furnish no goods on commission. 
 
 We charge nothing for territory, except to re- 
 quire him to buy tools within three months, other- 
 wise the agency will be considered abandoned and 
 revoked at our option. When he buys tools we 
 vend him a certificate of agency, which he may 
 hold so long as he buys not less than $100 worth 
 of goods each year. If he should afterwards wish 
 to quit the agency, we will take the tools back at 
 cost, less $10 a year. Anyone may buy or sell 
 our goods in territory not taken. 
 
 We furnish free of charge, lithograph poster 
 cards and circulars, printed specially for agents 
 use, with their name printed thereon, also elec- 
 trotypes, if desired. 
 
 Any parties not desiring to buy tools may sell 
 our goods so long as they return them according 
 to our rules, but until they buy tools, we do not 
 protect them by referring inquiries. 
 
 Where we have no agent, we sell direct 
 to the consumer. 
 
 ^U^Agents for roofing should adopt the 
 best plan and quality, to give best satisfaction, 
 build up a large trade, and baffle competition.

 Gentlemen:— I saw a small sample of your H. W. Smith’: 
 
 roofing- and thought it a good thing, and ordered of you enougl 
 to cover two buildings, and am very much pleased with it 
 Only wished that I ha 1 ordered more at the same time, foi 
 everybody that has seen it, thinks it the best thing in our parts. 
 It cost us about one-half the price of tin and we consider ii 
 much better. Another season I trust we shall use more of it 
 Yours truly, PLUMMER FOX. 
 
 Augusta, Maine, 1SS6. 
 
 T. C. Snyder & Co. 
 
 We are perfectly satisfied with the Iron Roofing and Siding 
 purchased of you last May, to be used on our new engine house 
 built in connection with our new planing mill plant. The tools 
 and instructions that you so carefully and thoughtfully sent 
 with the goods enables anyone of a mechanical turn of mind to 
 put on the roofing in a workmanlike manner. We consider it 
 the safest building, as regards damage from fire, that we have 
 on our property, and the insurance men have the same opinion 
 regarding it Its first cost is only about the same as ordinary 
 boarding and clapboards, and is far below the cost of brick, 
 with the necessary foundation for a brick wall of sufficient 
 strength to sustain the roof. We use shavings for fuel exclu- 
 sively, blown from our planer to a shaving building close by 
 the fire room. The studding in said shaving building and in 
 boiler room near the furnace, is covered neatly with strips of - 
 your Patent Roofing, and there is really nothing to burn. 
 Everyone that sees it in this vicinity speaks in its praise, it 
 being the first one of the kind here. Yours truly, 
 
 STURGIS, LAMBARD & CO.

 T. C. Snyder & Co., Canton, O. 
 
 Gentlemen: — Your Iron Roofing is so much superior to any 
 other roofing we have ever seen or heard of, that we expect to 
 use it altogether in the future for all of our buildings. It costs 
 little if any more than first-class shingles, which are inferior in 
 every respect, and should not hesitate to choose the Iron if it 
 cost double. We heartily endorse all you claim in your circular 
 and Were agreeably surprtsed to find it so easily laid. We 
 shall recommend it to other farmers and feel that in doing so it 
 will do them a kindness. Yours respectfully,

 it, and believe it to be fully up to my expectations and all you 
 claim for it. Yours very truly,

 Gentlemen: — We covered with your No. 26 Corrugated 
 Iron an area of nearly S,ooo square feet, embracing six distinct 
 and separate roofs. Our estimate of the material and manufac- 
 ture of the same, is disclosed by the fact that we have, unso- 
 licited, recommended to other parties the application of your 
 I roofing, who have acted according to our representation. 
 
 Yours respectfully, ESCAMBIA LUMBER CO. 
 
 Sandy Springs, Md., 1 886. 
 
 T. C. Snyder & Co., Canton, O. 
 
 Gentlemen: — About one year ago I purchased a lot of your 
 Standard Iron Roofing by description and sample, after corres- 
 ponding with some of the principal manufacturers, and making 
 choice of what seemed to me to be the best. I roofed my ma- 
 chine shop, which attracted so much attention and pleased me 
 so well that I decided to take the agency for this locality, and 
 since have bought a large amount, a large proportion of which 
 was put on dwellings and gives general satisfaction. Your 
 Iron Ore Paint is a splendid article; it seems to be equally as 
 good on wood work as on iron. One of our painters who has 
 tried it, is so well pleased with it that he has requested me to 
 furnish him with it hereafter. In addition to the above expres- 
 sions of faith in the goods you furnish, I desire to say that the 
 uniform fairness, courtesy and spirit of accommodation, has 
 made my business relations with you exceedingly pleasant.
