Showings Roof Covered

In Solid Color.
There is Safety
Under This Roof
Have you ever had a fine job of decorating spoiled by a leaking
roof? If you have, you certainly are in a position to appreciate the value
of a roof that Is positively water -proof. Sorneof the troubles common to
wooden shingles to-dae are that they are apt to split warp or blow off as
well es leak. soon after they ere put on. Tears ago they were good. but
the quality has since gradually depreciated_ Y the available sgp(y el
suitable timber became exhausted.
Brantford Slates have none of the faults of wooden shingles. They
cannot rust. They do not allow rain to be driven under them as do
metal roofs. They do not require rigid supporting as do the common tile
or slate roofs. On the other hand Brantford Slates afford the utmost
protection with little weight. They ere made on * long -fibred felt
"base" which is thoroughly saturated under pressure with asphaltum or
mineral pitch. Crushed quarried slate particle* are then deeply embed-
ded In the surface of this "base", making it water -tight and fireproof.
Brantford
Roofing
Brantford Slates are made in the natural slate noires of green. red.
Mack and fire. The colors Dakar fade and the slates do not require
painting nor repairing. These slates are pliable and fit readily around
gables and into the angles of any roof. This means a continuous roof
without seams or joints. Sparks die on Brantford Slates. When you
have these slates "on" you are done with the job. Remember they don't
require printing or staining and may be Selected to harmonize with al-
most any exterior color design. and the pries Is not beyond your rough.
