The Most Artistic Roof is the one that complete- ly harmonizes with the design and finishing of the house. For this rea- son there is a steadily increasing demand for Brantford Asphalt Slates for the modern style of homes. Brantford Asphalt. Slates have a surface of crushed slate embedded into our asphalt coating, thebase of the roofing being felt saturated with asphalt. They are cut . the size of shingles, and their beautiful soft colors of reddish brown and dark green give a roof a most artistic appearance. The colors are the natural shades of the slate as it comes out of the quarries. Brantford Asphalt Slates are, therefore, unfatleable —never require painting. Bran Asphalt Slat are accurate in size and pliable, which c: t...as them very easily handled and quickly laid, sa•,°' ,• r:i . a and labor, and therefore costing less to lay. Brantford Asphalt Slates snake an artistic, durable and economical roof. Booklet describing them it .ailed on request.
