Mr. Offer's letter confirms the fire- • resistant qualities of f Mphalt Slates Efe says? - "I covered the roof of 201 Marlborough Ave., Toronto, with your Asphalt Slates some time ago. This house -Ss one of a row of four, the remaining three were covered with Cedar shingles. "These houses were close to a railway track and on the night of August 15t2, 1918, these roofs caught fire from a spark from a passing train. "As you can see in the picture, the roofs 'on three houses were completely burned through, including the sheeting hoards and rafters. The boards and rafters on 201 were also burned through, so that the fire passed over and under your slates without harming„them in any way. ” I have rebuilt the roofs and covered them with your Asphalt Slates since I have had such good proof that if the four roofs had been covered with your slates no fire:meld have occurred." And here is another letter, from G. V. Wingrove of Walsing•• ham, Ont., dated December 2nd, 1918. k 1VIr. Wingrove says: "The house I live in is a large frame with drypine rafters and sheathing. I covered same with Brantford Roofing last May. "0n November 24th, at eight 'in the morning, we discovered that it was all aflame inside of roof of one part, 18 x 30, with a fine breeze fanning it. But by the use of the telephone and the splendid fire roequalitiesin 1 fof roof e P w the fire out Pyourgot and found spaces where the rafters and lumber were burnt out from in under tate roofing and the roofing still doing its duty of resisting fire. Also remember this is out in the country where it took the best part of half an hour for help to arrive." The Inspector of the Waterloo Mutual Fire Iasurance Coin- pany, has this to say about Mr. Wingrove's fire:— "I inspected this risk after the fire, It was particularly evi- dent that the fact that the roof was covered with Brantford Roofing kept the fire confined below the roof. If it had been possible for the fire to break through I do not see how they could have saved the building. As it was the loss was com; paratively trifling." When roofing a building, it pays to put on a fire-resistant roof as well as a beautiful one. Brantford Asphalt States (iurli- vidual size shingles) and Brantford Asphalt Slab Slates (four shingles 18 one) are fire-resistant, durable, economical and beautiful.
