They Will Not Curl
You can put Ruberoid Strip-shingles on the
roof of your home with the certainty that they
will not warp or curl. In spite of wind and
weather they will lie close and even year in and
year out.
Ruberoid Strip-shingles possess unusual
strength and rigidity. Their extra thickness
not only adds to their wearing quality, but also
increases their value from a decorative stand­
point.
The surface coating is crushed slate of a deep,
rich red, or cool, attractive green. Due to tne
design of the shingle these colors may be com­
bined in varied patterns which are decidedly
attractive and to which the rough slate surfacing
lends itself most admirably.
