Original and Standard
Whatever roofing you are using on any building, you are
, paying the price of Ruberoid. There are 300 imitations
of Ruberoid, and all of them cost more in the end than
the genuine. These imitations in some cases even have
names that sound like Ruberoid. . Frequently they are sold as
Ruberoid. Before they are laid and exposed to the weather
they look like Ruberoid.
Twenty Years of Service
Ruberoid was the first ready roofing and is the only one that
has made good. It has made good because it is made of the
best wool felt, impregnated with materials manufactured exclu
sively by the makers of Ruberoid and which cannot be found
in any other roofing.
