If you have, you certainly are in a position to appreciate the value of a roof that is positively water-proof. Some of the troubles common to wooden shingles to-day are that they are apt to split. warp or blow off as well as leak. soon after they are put on. Years ago they were good. but the quality has since gradually depreciated as the available supply of suitable timber became exhausted. . _ PIVL ___ I Brantford Slates have none of the faults of wooden shingles. They A cannot rust. They do not allow rainto be driven under them as do metal roo_fs. They do not require rigid supporting as do the common tile orslate roofs. On the other hand Brantford Slates afford the utmost protection with little weight. They are made on `a long-bred felt "base" which is thoroughly saturated under pressure with asphaltum or mineral. pitch. Crushed quarried slate particles are then deeply` embed- ded in the surface of this "base". making it water-tight and reproof.
