Upon it falls the burden of resisting the destructive influences of weather and changing seasons. Now, the question is "Where am I gcing to find a roof which will meet these conditions?" Certainly not in wooden shingles which have rapidly deteriorated during the past few years. Not in anything so perishable as wood, nor yet iron, which lets in driving rain, but rather in a permanent mineral composition such as Brantford Roofing. Now, let us look at a section of Brantford Roofing. First, you notice it has a pure, long -fibred felt base. This is. thoroughly saturated with a filler coat of asphalt or mineral . pitch. Then it is given another coat. Finally, the surface, is thickly covered with crushed slate. You can imagine wat a job rain, snow;, fire or heat would have penetrating a roof like that. As for comparing ,F Bra;tford Nature's • atell'• �v Roofing Water- proofing inlg with 'shingles -on the score of permanency, or protection, or appearance, or even economy, there is no comparison. You put a Brantford Roof on once, and it will last as long as the building; it will always look well and it will never need repairing. Why notelet us send ;you; 'always 'oa so a job?"
