IE, the Ossian girl whose disappearance was reported Saturday, returned home Sunday evening, and her absence was explained to the entire satisfaction of her mother, who learned that her tears for her daughter’s safety were unfounded.

Mrs. Mercer explained that Dorothy had been in her personal charge and that she had been in good surroundings all the time.

Felt—The Key To Roofing Strength I • Knock out the keystone of an arch —and you have I . a min. Break down, by time and exposure, the basic material | AT " shingle—and you have destroyed a roof. Genuine Richardson Felt is the key material in I < T WWA’ Flex-a-Tile Giant Shingles. It “holds” the weather- . 3 proof qualities of this superior roofing because it is the - j perfected product of an organization that has specialized - F in the manufacture of fine felt since 1868. • | This tough, durable fabric is thoroughly impregnated L with scientifically tempered asphalt; then heavily I coated with natural asphalt on both sides —the outercoat to keep out heat, cold and moisture from above, | the under-coat to give equally needed protection from I beneath. FLEX-A-TILE H 0~~ U S E f O >~~T 4 . . ' i And Flex-Tile Giant Shingles look as well as they I wear, because on their outer surface is an enameled coating of rich green slate (or red if you prefer) from the I Richardson quarries in Georgia. * An important economy point is that this large-size, extra-weight shingle can be laid over an old roof as well as on new sheathing, thus Saving the labor of tearing off old shingles, and affording the extra insulation of a double surface. In fact no other type of asphalt shingle gives such satisfactory results when used in this way. \ Telephone for further information. • flex-a -TiitL KIRSCH-REPPERT CO. if G, l AN J. standard!
