Everywhere under the sun

wherever roofs are laid

Certain-teed stands for these two things: Efficiency Economy

CERTAIN-TEED roofing is the most efficient and economical type of roof for factories, office buildings, farm buildings, garages, etc , because the first cost is less than thatof metal, wood shingles, or tar and gravel. This is particularly so now, because of the present high prices of some of the materials. CERTAIN-TEED costs less to lay than any other kind of roof. It will not rust, is not affected by fumes, gases and acids, coal smoke, etc. ; it is light weight and fire retardant. Every rain washes it clean ; and it does not melt or run under the hot rays of the sun, nor can it clog gutters and down spouts. Certain-teed Roofing b the best quality of prepared roofing. It pays to get the 'best. The only difference between the first cott of a good roof and a poor one it in the materials the labor, freight, etc.. costs the same in both. As CERTAINTEED Roofing it guaranteed for 5, 10 or IS years according to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply) it will be in splendid condition years after a poor -quality roof has to be replaced. For residences, Slate Surfaced Asphalt Shingles have all the advantages of CERTAIN-TEED Roofing, plus artistic beauty; not bulky, and are uniform in weight, quality and appearance. They need no paint, are pliable, eliminate waste and misfits, cannot curl, buckle, rot or crack. Guaranteed for ten years. Investigate CERTAIN-TEED before deciding on any type of roof. For sale by dealers everywhere. , Certain-teed Paints and Varnishes re rood, reliable products made b experienced paint men. who have at their

command all toe machinery, equipment, materials and resource necessary to manufacture food paints and varntsMs economically as well as the extensive selling; organization and warehouse system o( the Certain-teed Products Corporatioo, which materially reduces markeUnf costs.
