There’s Nothing to Fear from the Elements
When your roof is covered with
32POUNDS COATING
ROOFING TIN
In case of fire from without it does not ignite; from within, it soon smothers the flames; wind cannot get under; rain cannot beat through; a snow load—the worst of all pressures—creates no damage, while freezing and hail will not crack or destroy this superior commodity.
Think over all other roof coverings and see if such claims can be truthfully made for any of them; then take into consideration the moderate cost and long life of MF Tin, and decide for yourself which is the most practical material for you to use. Our booklet “FROM UNDERFOOT TO OVERHEAD’’ tells how MF is made. We want you to have a copy, and will gladly send it if you will write.
