When we put an aluminum
roof on our Kingston, Ont.
plant, we knew it would have
many advantages for the peo
ple inside; but, frankly, we did

liked the sensation ... made it
a pastime.
Providing toboggan slides
for pigeons is no part of our
programme. However, the alu
minum roofs which now .dot
the countryside do -illustrate
the rapidly growing demand
for aluminum. To match grow
