The merits of the Globe “ Standing Seam ” Roofing over its numer- ous competitors and imitators consists principally in its superior mechan- ical construction, uniformity and high grade of material used, neatness, durability and security. The side and end cleats are made of the same material as the roof- ing, and are entirely covered by the roofing sheets. No nails, rivets or punch holes being either through the standing seams or sheets, leaves no exposure or breaks in the metal for water to accumulate, or rust to get a start.

S TEEL ROOFING lias been growing in popular favor verj T fast dur- ing the past few years, and would at this time be in general use, had it been possible heretofore to obtain this desirable material at a price that rendered it possible for manufacturers to use and sell the same at any- thing like a reasonable figure. The price of Steel Sheets is now so near the price being paid for best bloom Iron Roofing Sheets, that we think the time is at hand when Steel Roofing will soon be in large demand by all those desiring the very best metallic roofing to be had. “ Sheet Steel” is much finer grain, stronger and more durable than any other metal for roofing purposes. Is as strong and tough crossways of the sheet as lengthways ; will not break, crack or scale in the least in forming, turning locks or flashings, and needs no arguments to prove its superiority for roofing purposes. Our Steel Roofing Sheets are 2x8 feet after forming. A square consists of 6^3 sheets and weighs 80 pounds after laying, and will fully cover a square 10x10 feet on the building. The durability of Steel Roofing does not depend on the thickness of material; as is often supposed by many, but on the quality of the metal, mechanical construction, and quality of paint used. The latter of which furnishes a perfect protection against rust. For full information as to mode of laying, cleats, caps and tools needed, same as for Standing Seam Iron Roofing. See pages 10 and n. The mechanical construction is perfect. Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue. 7 Globe Roofing Sneets. CAPS ^AUSTID CLEATS. FIG. 1.

Ttte OLP RSUABLS Globe Standard Iron Roofing, “STANDING SEAM.” UR Globe Standing Seam Iron Roofing is made from the very best selected Box Annealed Iron Roofing Sheets, annealed in a new and improved manner. Each sheet is warranted perfect, and painted on both sides with our well-known “Globe Metallic Paint.” Our sheets are 8 feet long and 2 feet wide, and weigh about twelve pounds each. Sheets io feet long furnished when specially ordered. These sheets are adapted to roofs of any size without waste. The iron can be easily cut and spliced, by means of lock joints, to fit any openings, vallej'S, etc. Our Globe Standing Seam Iron Roofing is in use in every State in the country. More than ten million feet now in use. We guarantee it unsurpassed in every particular, and it is admitted to be the most reliable in all that pertains to a orou y\)\y Rire, Wind, Water and Rust-P roof Roof. Its simplicity in fitting on the roof is fully conceded by all parties upon examination. Our roofing plates are prepared at the factory com- pleted, ready to be laid and joined together on the roof, instead of being partly formed at the shop and partly while on the roof, which renders it almost impossible for any one to go wrong in applying — all sheets fitting each other perfectly and true. This saves about one-half the labor re- quired in laying most other kinds of roofing, and is fully ten per cent, in favor of our roof, and should be so estimated in comparing prices. Our cleats and caps are, without exception, the most secure and dur- able of any others used, having the favorable test of years of extensive use. They are being frequently imitated by other manufacturers, but in no instance excelled. Ten million feet of ‘ ‘ Old Reliable ” now in use.

Slit the standing seams on each side of the sheet ; bend down the projecting portion or lap of the sheet, and nail to the eave and end — or, if a fire- wall, flash up against same — continue laying sheets of first course up to the comb or ridge. If there is a piece of sheet left after cutting from a full sheet at the comb, it can be used to commence the next course with at the eaves. Every part of the sheet can be used. It makes the roof more secure by starting the second course with a or sheet so joints will not come together on alternate courses. Fasten the courses by means of the end and side cleats, nailing the anchor part of the side cleats to sheathing boards about one foot apart — turning one-half down over one course, and the other half over the other course. Secure the cross seams after malleting down by placing an anchor cleat on each side and bending down over the locked sheets seeuiely.

I HE cut page 15 shows the application of our Read}' Roll Roofing. Many roofers prefer making their standing seams on the building to suit a flat roof and use the Ready Roll Roofing. The sheets are securely locked and grooved together, making a perfect joint before leaving the factory. The standing seam is turned up the desired height by the use of a tinner’s tongs, securely nailed to the sheathing boards with the use of our split anchor cleats. The caps are then put on over the standing seams and countersunk by our Countersinking Tongs. This roofing makes one of the best roofs in use if properly put on by some roofer or tinner, and is largely used by them in preference to any other. It comes in rolls of 100 square feet after the standing seam is turned and covers 2 feet in width besides allowing 1 inches on each side for the standing seam, is easily handled and costs less freight than boxed roofing.

Sheets will cover exactly 24 inches besides allowing for side laps, and the number of sheets required and lengths most suitable, can be easily estimated by any one. Take measurements carefully and accurately. 20 Globe Iron Roofing mid Corrugating Co.'s wscetxAHeous rbwarks. We will mail a sample (on application) of any of our roofings, which will more readily show their principle, which can be easily understood. One man with a helper can lay from 12 to 15 squares a day on an ordinary roof. The prices we give you include all necessary appliances, such as wire nails, cleats and caps needed for each square, and enough dry metallic paint for a finishing coat after the roof is laid. Our Globe Standing Seam can be used on as flat a surface as one inch fall to the foot satisfactory, but good judgment would suggest to parties when build- ing to make the pitch of their roofs greater. SAFETY FROM LIGHTNING. Prof. Mitchell says : “ It is impossible that a building covered with iron should be injured by 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.” REDUCED INSURANCE. Buildings roofed with iron are insured at lower rates than those covered with any other material ; and iron or steel roofing will pay for itself in a vefy few years by the reduced insurance. CISTERN WATER. Persons using the water from iron 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 frequently been asked how long our roofing will last, and 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 is never any friction on the under side to wear the paint off the sheets, and if the upper side is painted every four or five years, we do not see anything to prevent it lasting longer than any building it may be put on. Protect your buildings from fire. 21 Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue. = Roofing Tools. =?

We desire reliable selling agents and much prefer to sell our special- ties through them, or to wholesale dealers direct, to whom we make a special trade discount off our selling prices. Roofers, Tinners, Carpenters, Contractors or General Merchants Can in a short time build up a paying demand for our goods by adver- tising and giving the business a small share of their attention. We furnish all such with sample models and descriptive circulars for facili- tating their efforts in this line. Where we have an active agent we do not quote or sell to others in his section. Where we have no selling agent we sell direct to consumers, and respectfully invite correspondence with all those contemplating building. = = CAUTION. = = Many parties are quoting Iron Roofing and Corrugated Siding at prices that compel them to use the very lowest grade of common boiled iron sheets. All such should be avoided, as they will stand no tests that are requisite for perfect work. We furnish samples on application of our Standard Refined Boxed Annealed Doubled Worked Iron or Steel Sheets, unpainted, for examination and comparison. It is just as essen- tial that you inspect your iron as you do the quality of the lumber or any other material you use. The cheapest is often the dearest in the end. Remember that double worked Box Annealed Iron Sheets are double as durable, as they will not scale, carrying the paint with it, as does the common iron used by many irresponsible makers who have no reputation to sustain. Avoid complicated and inferior roofs. Our Globe Standing Seam and other roofings are guaranteed as represented, and we invite your attention to them before placing your orders.

I ORRUGATED Iron has been the preferred form of metallic covering ^ for manj" years, and its well known and superior qualities are so generally admitted as to need of but little comment. Its superior arch- itectural appearance, as well as its durability , cheapness and effectiveness , have secured its general adoption by many manufacturers, railroad com- panies and builders, and is being generally adopted by all who give its merits any comparison with other materials. It is the strongest known form of Sheet Iron, and imparts material strength to the structure to which it is attached. We use only the best double worked Box Annealed Sheets of even quality, and guarantee them made from the very best material, and seldom equaled. Corrugated Iron has no equal as a covering material for buildings. It is fire, water, wind and lightning proof. It is cheap, light and durable ; allows for the use of a light frame, being a support itself. Its advan- tage as a protection against fire is demonstrated by Insurance Companies rating it with brick and other fire-proof structures, and the reduced in- surance will soon reimburse parties in full for the cost of their iron.

All inch wide corrugations of other makers only covers 23^ inches wide, hence a difference and saving of about 4 per cent, in favor of using our make. Nearly all architects and builders specify for their studding or uprights a distance of two feet from centers, and we conform to the universal demand and have per- fected machinery for supplying the above style sheets. W e have adopted this corrugation as our standard, and when not otherw ise specified will fill all orders from same. W r e are prepared to furnish any regular foot lengths of from 5 up to 10 feet. Heavy guages, Nos. 20, 22 and 24, always in stock, in lengths of 8 and 10 feet.

Panel strips of metal are usually made by dealers themselves, of different widths to suit their fancy, and can be done as cheap or cheaper than to order them. The same applies to metal cornices. Iron ceilings are in great demand, profitable to the roofer or tinner, and serviceable and satisfactory to the consumer. The Sheets can be applied directly to the joists, or to rough sheathing over the joists, or over old plastered ceilings. Builders and all practical men know it is useless to adopt plaster ceilings in business houses, fac- tories, etc., where there is much jarring or vibration from machinery and handling heavy goods, as the same is liable to soon cause the plaster to fall off Plain iron ceilings are no more expensive than plaster, and are much superior to wood, which soon shrinks and admits dust to the room below. The advantages of metal ceilings are numerous, and apparent to architects and builders. They are fire and water-proof, not liable to crack and fall off, and will never wear out ; when dingy or dirty they can be washed and cleaned, giving a fresh appearance, and can be painted in different colors to suit the taste. Water accidentally spilled, vessels or hydrants overrunning, or roof leaking, will not do injury to this kind of work. We guarantee all our Corrugated, Crimped, Beaded and Ceiling Irons To be manufactured of best soft, annealed and pliable material, free from scales, holes, or imperfections, and the formation of our corrugations to fit close and perfect, and not excelled by any on the market.

FOE EOOF& I S laid on same plan as shingles. Commence at the eaves, allowing A from four to six inches projection, lap one corrugation at sides of sheets, and allow from two to four inches lap at ends of sheets. Nail at sides through top of lapped corrugation, about eight inches apart, and at lapped ends of sheets through top of every other corrugation. Do not put any nails at all through interior of sheet or at bottom of corrugation. For better security, we recommend the using of oval lead washers to go under nail heads. For Flat Roofs, we recommend using thick metallic paint between laps at ends of sheets when applying the Iron. For Ridge Roof, nail corrugated wooden ridge joint on each side of ridge, and nail the Metal Ridge Cap over both sides. See cut on pages 39 and 40. We recommend three inches or more fall to the foot on roofs for Corrugated Iron ; where the pitch of the roof is greater, less than four inches end lap will do. Where the pitch of the roof is less than above, we recommend you to use our Globe “ Standing Seam ” Roofing, as it can be successfully applied to pitch of one inch fall to the foot. See pages 8 and 9. FOE SX33HTGI-- Commence at bottom, running first row across side of frame, lapping one corrugation on side of sheets. Put second row on in same manner, lapping ends of sheets down over the top of first row ; one inch is suf- ficient for this lap when used without sheathing boards. The studding should be formed to measure from center to center to correspond with covering width of sheet (see pages 25 and 30). When the liability of damage from outside contacts is considerable, heavier guage iron should be used than is otherwise necessary, especially on lower or first course. We think too much light guage iron is being used, and recommend No. 24 or No. 22 guage, where durability rather than first cost is considered. IFOIR. IZROILT The Side Laps should be riveted every eight to twelve inches, and End Laps on every other corrugation. To fasten the sheets to iron beams and purlins, a cleat of hoop iron yi or 7 A inch wide should be passed around the purlins or beams, and riveted at both ends to the sheet. By contracting or pressing this cleat toward web of beams or purlins, a tight and secure fastening is made, which allows for contraction and expansion of the sheet.

BOVE cut shows the method of nailing on the sheets to the sides of / v — grain elevators, or other large buildings, where there is a lia- bility to settle, which allows the building to settle without buckling the iron or disturbing the fastenings. Sheets are lapped from % to i inch, and nailed two inches or more above the bottom edge, thus allowing the sheet to slide about an inch before the nails by which it is attached im- pinge on the lower sheet. Each sheet, in fact, acts independently, as the side of the building settles. Hence, does not buckle the sheet or disturb the fastenings. Corrugated elevator sheets or plates furnished any width from 36 inches to 108 inches, with covering height of 27 inches.

Considering its desirableness — affording perfect security, durability, and handsome architectural appearance — we recom- mend it to merchants, storekeepers, or those contemplating building, as being far ahead of any other style of building, and is particularly adapted to small towns and villages where there is no fire department. They are easily and cheaply kept insured, neat, economical and durable. If you contemplate building, we would be glad to make you an estimate for the iron needed on a building of this description. Please state size of build- ing, front and depth, hight of sides, and pitch of roof ; also number and size of openings, doors and windows. For a building 30x100 feet, 20 feet high, pitch to roof, would require about 35 squares of roofing, and about 50 squares of corrugated siding. By corresponding with us and giving exact dimensions, we can give you an accurate cost and amount of iron needed. Prices are always governed by the price of sheet metal, and our prices will always be as low as the metal market allows.

To The Globe Iron Roofing and Corrugating Co., Cincinnati, Ohio : Gentlemen : — The Iron Roofing we purchased from you in 1885 has given good satisfaction — more so than we anticipated it would at time of purchase, as we were credulous in regard to same. It now affords us great pleasure to state that in points of economy of material and labor, as well as durability, it can not be equaled by any other roofing material. We now have five large buildings under cover of your Globe Standing Seam Roofing, all in good condition. We expect to make some additions to our large stock barn in the spring, and will undoubtedly use the “Old Reliable.” We think a building under iron roofing is better protected from lightning than by using rods, regardless of number.

We have been using the same for the past three years ; first on our elevator, on which we used both Standing Seam Roofing and Corrugated Siding with perfect satisfaction ; since then on our store house and several other large buildings. We heartily recommend your goods to those building or contem- plating building, as the same have in every instance been satisfactory and perfect in every respect, and just as you stated them to be to us when we first purchased. Yours truly, A. N. COUDEN & BROS. Helena, Ark., March 10, 1886. Globe Iron Roofing Co.: Gentlemen: — During the last season we used several hundred squares of the Globe Standing Roofing in our city and vicinity. Our city was visited last month by a terrific conflagration, burning several squares. The large cotton ware- house of Messrs. Burton & Johnson was in great danger, but saved by the protection afforded by the Globe Roofing we put on last year for them. Since the fire, our city was visited by a violent cyclone, which blew down walls and buildings, unroofing many covered with tin and. shingles. Am glad to say that not a Globe Roof but stuck fast where placed, although in very exposed positions. We consider it the cheapest and best roof now in the market. Respectfully yours, HELENA JOB WORKS. Cheaper and more durable than tin , slate, or shingles.

Y. : Dear sir: — Acknowledging your favor of the 24th inst. , we beg to say that the Globe Iron Roofing Co. are using our name without any knowledge of the fact on our part ; but we are not so selfish as to want to keep every good thing to ourselves, and we are very glad to do them a good turn by saying that we have had their roof- ing in use on our buildings during the past three years. Our roofs can be called neither steep nor flat — in fact, not as steep as some of them should properly be made ; but we consider it the best possible roof that can be had, and so far have found no leaks anywhere. We would caution you, however, in using metal roofing to be par- ticular and paint same at least every two years. With this precaution followed, we believe that such a roof as these people furnish will last an ordinary lifetime. Yours very truly, BINGHAMTON GLASS WORKS.
