TIME

itself

depends on Lead F

OR more Than two and a half centuries the lead covered domes of Greenwich Observatory have defied the
elements, permitting the task of computing time to go on with out interruption. What metal
could be more appropriate than lead for protecting a structure dedicated to the observation and regulation of time? For centuries, architects have recog niz;ed lead as the one imperish able metal suitable for roofing.
Proof of its everlasting qualities is mirrored in many notable examples of architecture still existent in the Old World.
Today, Leadclad is the worthy successor to these time defying roofs of old. The Pure Lead surface provides the same permanent protection, the steel
core furnishes strength, both so essential in modern construe
tion. By this combination Leadclad adapts the imperish
able qualities of Pure Lead to every roofing and building need. It is easy to handle, low in cost and insures protection years beyond the life of ordb nary roofing.
Samples of Leadclad together with detailed information will be mailed free on request. Write
