All Iron and Steel Roofing, Siding and Ceiling, are sold by the square (lOO square feet), except Corrugated Iron, which is sold by the square or pound, as preterred. A SQUARE consists of loo square feet, and is calculated by the following rules of measurement : Corrugated (Iron or Steel) and Imitation Brick. — The full width and length of sheets, after being corrugated or formed, is calculated. V Crimped, Beaded, Weather Boards, (Iron or Steel). — The full length of sheets, together with the actual covering width is calculated. Standing Seam Steel Roofing. — The actual covering width and full length is calculated, whether the sheets are connected by end-locks and shipped in rolls, or be separate and shipped in crates. Wide Gutters and Valleys. — The full width and length of material is calculated. Nails, Wood Strips, Dry Paint and Ready Mixed Paints, are sold by the pound, gallon or square (the amount generally required in applying a square). They are not included in the price quoted on the Sheet Iron or Steel, but are charged as separate items when furnished.

Roofs.— Measure the length of the roof, including the amount turned up or down at each end or gable, and multiply by the distance from eave to eavet including the material used in the ridge seam, and the material lapped either down or up at ea\'es. Roofs with Hips, Valleys, Dormers, Etc. — Measure each section through the center horizontally and multiply by the length of the strip of metal at the center, and in addition to the actual surface of the roof, measure the length of hips and valleys by one foot wide. The extra measure of hips and valleys is to compensate for the extra labor and loss of material in cutting, fitting and laying same. Opeoings.— Make no deduction for openings, chimneys, stacks, sky-light, dormer window, or ventilator, unless such openings measure more than 50 sq. ft.; if more than 50 sq. ft., and not more than 100 sq. ft., deduct half the size of the opening ; if more than 100 sq. ft., deduct the full size of opening. The labor to flash pipes and round stacks, whether of brick or iron, is charged extra. The reason for not deducting otherwise than as specified, is, that the waste of material and extra work in cutting and fitting the material for flashing such open- ings, is equal to, or greater, than the value of the materials cut out. Gutters and Valleys. — .Multiply full length by full width of girt. Siding. — Multiply full length of each section by the height. DEDUCTIONS. — Make no deductions for any window, door or other opening, unless said opening measures more than 10 sq. ft; if more than 10 sq. ft., and not more than 25 sq. ft., deduct one-half of such openings. If more than 25 sq. ft., deduct all of such open- ings, except, when the wood casings to the windows, doors and other openings are to he covered with iron or steel casings; in such instances, no deductions for openings are to be made, whether the openings be more or less than 10 sq. ft. Gables. — To estimate contents of gables, multiply the width by one-half the height, or multiply the height by one-half the width.

Special Notice. We invite the attention of our patrons to the information and illustrations on the following pages, relative to metallic coverings, i. e., Roofing, Siding, Ceiling, etc. The members of the craft who buy our goods (which are standard everywhere — a guarantee of excellence) always get better value than by using something imitative of ours. The closest attention is given to the quality and workmanship of the material put into our products, and we present them on their merits. In these days, when the word “Adulteration” is brought so much to the attention of the consumer, and all the defects come from goods made to sell and not to use, it is a great pleasure to furnish the goods which are known to have stood the tests in the past, and will stand in the future. An examination and comparison will satisfy the buyer that our claims are just, and our goods as we represent them to be. All we ask is the credit which is due the excellence of our goods, as in this respect alone are we competitors, and on this basis we quote prices, which will at all times he found favorable. The Berger Manufacturing Co., Canton, Ohio. 69 riaterial Used; Genuine Hammered Sheet Steel - for- standing SEAM ROOFING Has been given the most practical tests, and it unquestionably e.xcels all other kinds because it has the required te.xture and softness, and is far more perfect and homogeneous than ordinary steel. It is the purest of metals, practically free from imperfections, and the advantages of using it are self-evident from the very fact of its higher ultimate strength. It is of paramount importance to customers that the very finest quality be used. We therefore adopted GENUINE HAMMERED STEEL, which is the most durable, most substantial, and the cheapest when the quality is considered. A roof of such material is wind, weather, fire and lightning proof ; it furnishes no food for fames, is suitable for all kinds of buildings, can be laid over shingles, lath or sheathing, and is easily attached to any kind of valley or gutter. We furnish HAMMERED STEEL SHEETS in the following con- structed Roofs : Berger’s Patent Simplified Lock Seam. (Pages 74 and 75.) Old Style Double Seam. (Page 76.) Eclipse Cap Seam. (Page 77.) Pressed Standing Seam. (Page 78.) Beaded Pressed Standing Seam. (Page 79.) 70 The Berger Manufacturing Co., Canton, Ohio. Steel Sheets, Painted. A good Roof is a building’s crown, and in a permanent building is only second in importance to a good foundation, as it is always on duty ; therefore, we give our material the well deserved protection, i. e., a coating, both sides, of pure Linseed Oil Paint. For this purpose the standard is Iron Oxide; however, it is acknowledged that the best preservative for all Steel and Iron work is genuine Graphite Paint (Plumbago). We fully recommend our Graphite Paint as a sure protection against rust in any climate, as it is unaffected by heat or cold, damp- ness, salt air, chemical fumes or any solution known to chemists. All our paints are re-ground in boiled Linseed Oil, and brushes are used in applying the coating on every painted sheet of our material by which all parts of the sheet are well and evenly covered, producing the required result, which can not be so well accomplished by any other method. The quality of our paints, and our manner of coating the sheets before shipment, are worthy of consideration, (PAINTS, see pages 122 and 123.) Ste^l Sheets, Galvanized, Are known by all metal workers to be indispensable for Cornice and Ornamental work for all kinds of buildings. Its durability is established, and years of experience have demonstrated its practical use for Roofing purposes. It is suitable for any climate as it is not subject to injury from natural causes, and does not need to be painted, as the galvanized coating gives the required protection to the body of the sheet. As Galvanized Sheets may be soldered, when necessary, it makes a roof particularly adapted for flat surfaces, in this respect having a great advantage over black Steel Sheet, painted, which cannot be soldered. The difference in cost stands in favor of Galvanized Steel. The Berger Manufacturing Co., Canton, Ohio. 7 I Foundation and Pitch. .A^ the best foundation tor all Metal Roofs, we recommend sheath- ing boards put close together (not notched), because a better job can be made. Boards need not necessarily be planed, but should be of equal thickness, particularly when only a slight pitch can be had. On one-fourth pitch, or more, lath may be used placed three to four inches apart. We have had in use for many years our Patent Simplified Folded Lock Seam and Old Style Double Seam on peculiarly shaped roofs. They have proven entirely satisfactory on three-fourths to one inch pitch to one foot, which by reason of their superior plan of construction are suitable for flatter surfaces than is safe for any other style. We recommend a pitch of one inch to one foot or more. No dirt will accumulate on a roof of a good pitch, and the cleanest and purest rain water may be gathered. .All structures should be such as to allow water to flow off freely and to avoid, as much as possible, difficult shaped spaces to be covered. Felting. Felting should invariably be used under Metal Roofing, especially when applied over foundries, engine rooms, or where steam, gas and vapors come in contact with the Roofing. We recommend its use under all Roofs, as during frosty weather it prevents dripping when the frost is melting; protects the paint on the under side of Metallic Roofs, deadens sound, and is a non- conductor of heat and cold, thus making buildings cooler in summer, and warmer in winter. (See page 126.) Painting. Steel or Iron, be it of the very finest quality, will rust if not protected with paint; therefore, we recommend that roofing be well coated with best quality Iron O.xide or Graphite ground in pure Lin- seed Oil, as soon as applied on building. Another coat should be applied after a period of a year, and thereafter at intervals of three to four years, as may be found necessary. If these instructions are followed, a Metal Roof will last an ordinary lifetime. 72 The Berger Manufacturing Co., Canton, Ohio. Compared with Shingles. Shingles are made of such timber that cannot be used in more valuable building material. They are short-lived, and neither fire nor weather proof. The greatest number of fires originate on the roofs, which places insurance at a very high rate; therefore, shingles are dangerous and fast growing in disfavor. Steel and iron covering is fire-proof, and a perfect protection from the elements. Compared with Slate. Slate Roofing requires a steep pitch and a heavy, expensive structure, to support the great weight, which is almost seven times as heavy as Steel Roofing. It will break from freezing and thawing, or from heat of adjacent fires ; costs twice as much and is more expensive to keep in repair ; also, the rule of measurement is always greater. Slate often causes buildings to settle out of shape. J8@“ Steel can be applied faster and on a cheaper surface. Compared with Tin. Tin Roofing Plates are not solid tin sheets, but Steel or Iron is the base, the tin or lead being only a coating. Nine-tenths of the plates now used are made light, cheap and inferior, to compete in price with Steel Roofing, which is fast taking the lead. Tin Roofs contain from eight to ten times more cross-seams, which are soldered, and as solder is a weaker material than tin, the joints will break open from contraction and expansion and other natural causes. tteg“Our Steel joints are fewer, stronger, and being very elastic are fully equal to the demands of contraction and expansion. A First=CIass Metal Roof will give more satisfaction than any other known material. The Berger Manufacturing Co., Canton, Ohio. 73 Li^htnin^. It is an absolute fact that lightning has never been known to injure a building covered with steel or iron. The large surface of fhe metal scatters the electricity and renders it harmless. Mr. Merriman says : “ Few persons realize the protection afforded during violent thunder storms by shelter in a building covered with steel or iron.” Insurance. Metallic covered buildings reduce the rate of insurance fully one- third as a rule, and in towns poorly provided with fire apparatus, as much as one-half. Underwriters advocate strongly the general use of metal coverings. Cost of Labor, In applying Roofing, varies from twenty to fifty cents per square, owing to the size and pitch of roof . On an ordinary pitched roof one man can lay from ten to twelve squares per day, so you will readily be able to make estimate on such work ; but as wages in different localities vary, use your own judgment as to the actual cost. Agencies. An agent for our goods means simply a customer for his place and vicinity ; all inquiries are referred to him ; he buys the goods from us when wanted and makes his own selling price to consumers.

The advantage this roof has over all other separate Cap Seam Roofing is that the cap is hooked to the anchor or cleat which holds it firmly to the standing seam. The construction is simple, and it is the most easily and rapidly laid separate Cap Roofing on the market. We make the metal Caps in 4 or 8-foot lengths, which we furnish with each square, cleats included. Each roll is 50 feet long ; the covering width is 24 inches and will lay 100 square feet on building.

Made of Black, Painted and Galvanized Iron. Corrugated is the strongest known form of Sheet Metal, and imparts materia! strength by its lineal rigidity to the structure to which it is attached. Its legitimate use is for Siding. It is the best material known for use on structures of moderate cost, that are intended to be fire-proof. The rigidity imparted to comparatively light sheets by corrugating makes them self-supporting, thereby permitting their use on light, inexpensive framing, the result being a substantial building, with a handsome architectural appearance. We Recommend Corrugated Iron especially for siding, ceiling and partitions for fire-proof buildings, and it is only necessary to suggest the advantage of using this materia! for such protection. For Roofing, we advise the use of our Berger’s Patent Lock=Seam Steel Roofing, because the joints in Corrugated Iron are simply laps, and a casual examination will show that, except on steep roofs, the lap joints will prove defective and liable to leak in driving storms. This Criticism on Corrugated Iron for roofing applies to all corrugated sheets by whomsoever manufactured. Our Machinery for corrugating is the latest improved. It presses the iron, making one impression at a time, forming the corrugates true and even, giving superior strength, making laps fit perfectly tight, which cannot be done with Corrugated Iron made on cylinder rolls, used by most all the manufacturers. Note. — A ll of our Corrugated Iron measures 24 inches from center to center of last corrugations. The Berger Manufacturing Co., Canton, Ohio. 83 How to Estimate Amount and Cost of Corrugated Iron. First select the best lengths of sheets to tit the space, hearing in mind the end laps. On Siding one inch lap will do, while for Roofing nothing less than three inches, and if a slight pitch, si.x inches, for end lap. As each sheet lays just two feet wide, it is a simple matter to ascertain the number of sheets necessary to cover the space. Then estimate the number of feet in our two and one-half (2>^) and three (3) inch sheets, as follows : 6 feet long, 13 sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 7 feet long, i5,t sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 26 in. w'ide. 8 feet long, 17,’; sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 9 feet long, iqf sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 26 in. wide. 10 feet long, 21, f sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 26 in. w'ide. On lyf inch or small Corrugate Sheet, figure as follows : 6 feet long, 12] sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 25 in. wide. 7 feet long, iqf.- sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 25 in. wide. 8 feet long, 165 sq. feet, lay 2 feet wide, selling measure 25 in. wide. When necessary we can cut sheets in the middle and give half sheets of any of the above lengths. When we cut to odd inches, say 7 feet 9 inches, we charge for an 8 foot sheet, unless we have two or three weeks in which to fill order, so as to have the sheets made odd sizes. We always ship No. 28 Gauge, 8 foot sheets, when not otherwise specified in order. As no allowance is made for laps, the following table gives the number of square feet necessary to cover one square (100 sq. ft.) of surface, providing there is no waste in cutting. These tables are based on using 96 inch sheets ; if longer or shorter lengths are used there will be a slight variation from the follow- ing estimate.

Corrugated Sheet Iron. Painted or Galvanized. We desire to call your attention to the following illustrations of Corrugated Sheet Iron for Roofs, Sides, Ceilings-and Partitions for fire- proof buildings. It can be applied on wood or iron rafters or sheathing. By our improved machinery we are enabled to furnish these goods with corru- gates of uniform shape and sizes (so there will be no trouble in making the sheets fit when applied with accuracy). They are sheared accu- rately on sides and ends, and every corrugation is perfect. Any one who can drive a nail can attach same correctly. The following cuts and descriptions show the different kinds we make. When asking quotations on, or ordering Corrugated Iron, please note the following are the sizes, widths and lengths we manufacture : One and one=quarter inch Corrugated Iron. Fig. 10.

Nail side laps every 6 inches and end laps in every other corrugation in 234 inch corrugations, and every third corrugation in iX corrugations, driving nails as shown in Care should be taken that the iron is kept a few inches from the ground. We usually use a base board 6 to 12 inches wide, partially covered with plain iron for base, with flange of 2 inches to go up under the corrugated iron, and corners can be filled up with Iron Roll, as shown in If Siding is put on stud- ding, care should be taken to have the studding same distance between centers as the width of iron used, and pieces of wood will have to be put in between studding at end of sheets to nail to, or end laps can be riveted. If Posts are used. Girts can be placed 2 to 8 feet apart, and side laps riveted about every 12 inches. N. B. — Full details are given in the Instruction Sheet for laying Corrugated Iron Roofing.

The Berger Manufacturing Co. .Canton, Ohio. 89 For Roofing, Three to si.\ inches, according to pitch, sliould be used for end lap, and one and one-half corrugates for side lap, as shown in Fig. 21. Ob- serve tliat the left edge curves downward and the right hand edge curves upward, when made special for one and one-half corrugations for side lap. Two corrugates are sometimes used for side lap, but are no better than one and one-half. Fig. 21. Corrugated Iron Roofing. Corrugated Iron is used for roofing some kinds of buildings, though for roofing, we advise the use of Berger’s Patent Folded Lock. Seam Steel Roofing, e.xcept where heavy gauges are wanted, as the joints in corrugated iron are simply laps, and liable to leak, unless a good end lap and one and one-half or two corrugates are used for side lap. Pitch of Roof. We would not advise the use of Corrugated Iron on any roof of less pitch than three inches to the foot, and more is better. Truss roofs should have pitch of one-fifth to one-fourth. Distance Between Supports on Roof. For Corrugated Iron Roofing, No. 26 Gauge and lighter had better be laid on close boarding, or strong lath not more than i to 2 feet apart. No. 24 can be used on purlins 2 to 4 feet from centers. No. 20 to 22 can be used on purlins 4 to 5 feet from centers. No. 18 can be used on purlins 6 to 7 feet from centers.

I 2 I DIRECTIONS FOR Putting on Steel Brick Siding Over Wood Sheathing. ist. With spirit level and chalk line get the level of your building entirely around its base or top and strike a line corresponding thereto. 2nd. Place a full sheet of siding at one corner of the building, allowing the end to extend two or more feet past the corner so that the cross grooves are immediately over the corner, the lower edge of the sheet resting on the chalk line. 3rd. Nail the sheet fast to the wall through the grooves sufficiently to hold it fast and to bring it down solid all the way along. Begin at the middle of the sheet to nail and work towards ends and sides, putting nails two or three bricks apart. Never nail through the brick. 4th. Bend the projecting two feet around the corner (if projects) with the hands or with a piece of board, using a mallet slightly to bring down any uneven places. 5th. Lay around the building until you meet the commencement. Place the first sheet of the second tier over the first so as to break joints perfectly as in brick work, letting the half groove at the bottom of the sheet lap over the first and fit closely in the half groove at the top of the first sheet. 6th. Window and door frames should not be put in until after the siding is on. But in case the frames are in, the Steel Siding may be applied and faced at doors and windows the same as for wood siding. 7th. At windows or doors cut the sheets about three inches above the bottom sill, and the same distance from the side ; then cut from the corner thus formed obliquely to the corner of the window or door space, bend the steel with the hands down upon the window sill and around the side of the studding, and nail it fast. The window frames fit in over these laps and show a complete brick finish. Nails. The best nails to use are i barbed roofing nails, or three-penny common wire nails, either of which may be readily driven through the grooves without the use of a punch. Alw'ays use a nail-set to drive nail home. It requires about I of a pound of these nails to a square of Siding. In case purchasers of our Siding cannot obtain suitable nails in their own towns, we will furnish them at a reasonable price. I 22 The Berger Manufacturing Co., Canton, Ohio. Mixed Paints.
