Tho records of tho office of the
county clerk shows that while eight

from tho "tie that binds" during the
month of Fobmary, only five pair
havo applied for a legal right to take
each other for better or worse. The
preponderance of the number who

Wherever you sec a
roofing advertisement
remember that its
words of self-praise and
description came from the original
advertisements of the Malthoid Roofing
makers.
Twenty-six years ago
we said of our roofing all
the nice things that arc now said
of every other roofing.
These "others" have stolen our words
imitated our methods
but they cannot duplicate the
tmality of Malthoid Roofing
it always was the best and always will be.
Whenever you see a
roofing advertisement think
of Malthoid the original.
