A RETROSPECTIVE glance over the campaign which this Association has been conducting, convinces us that the many Architects, Builders, and Property Owners throughout the country have found the impartial statements which we have made to be of inestimable value to them. U P to the time when we, as a body, took a stand against the erroneous statements made by manufacturers of other roofing materials against the best roofing material of them all, Roofing Tin, it was the opinion of some that a good tin roof was an impossibility. The statements were taken verbatim and a very wrong impression was given of the relative values of Roofing Tin on the one hand and slag, composition and gravel roofs on the other. H OWEVER, we have shown conclusively that for ADAPTABILITY, Roofing Tin has no equal; that it can be placed on any style or kind of building and make a most attractive appearance if a practical, experienced roofer has been employed; that for EASE OF APPLICATION, it excels all others, as it lays perfectly flat and works easily, requiring but little time to finish the job; that IN CASE OF FIRE, there is nothing in its composition to ignite and it presents a solid wall of protection against flames from both within and without; while for DURABILITY, a roof made of good Roofing Tin, carefully laid, can be depended upon to last at least twice as long as any other material that you can use. E, therefore, suggest that in the future when you are contemplating putting on a new roof you write to us for information. We will always be glad to supply it and can assure you W that it shall be wholly impartial. National Association of OFFICERS: President, EDWIN L.

The process is the same to-day as it was then, and the plates are just as even in gauge, thoroughly coated and easily worked. Therefore, when a property owner or roofer specifies MF Ternes, he can rest assured he is getting the best to be had. When ordering, keep in mind the fact that the MF Process is the oldest Old Style Process in existence, and that MF Roofing Tin cannot be excelled, regardless of how long you search.

You also gain the results of over ten years practical experience and the technical knowledge of trained hydraulic engineers. Do not use an attic tank which will leak and flood your house, and which does not provide sufficient pressure. It is not necessary to have an exposed elevated tank to freeze, flow over, leak or collapse. In the Kewanee System your storage tank is placed in the cellar or buried in the ground, and the water is delivered by air pressure instead of gravity pressure. Let us design a Kewanee System for you. We will make no charge for preliminary services, and we will protect you with a guarantee of satisfactory results. Send for our complete illustrated catalog No. 26. It shows how the Kewanee System has been adapted for buildings of various sizes, from the smallest cottage to the largest institution-and small towns. Kewanee Water Supply Co., Kewanee, Ill.
