STANDARD CHARCOAL ROOFING TIN SHINGLES.

Our Standard Charcoal Roofing Tin Shingles are made of such brands as “Mansel,” “Dean,” “Worcester,” “P. T. L.” &c., and guaranteed to be first-class, well-coated plates, perfect in finish. Next comes our Galvanized (re-dipped) shingle; this is our Standard Tin Shingle, taken after it is made and dipped into melted zinc, adding a second coat of fully twenty pounds on each square, giving with the tin, a more durable coating than that used on galvanized iron, making it absolutely rust-proof and saving painting. Next is what we call “Old Process” or “M. F.” This is what is known as “Old Style,” “Double-Dipped,” “Old Method,” and other names, but what is really a very superior article of roofing plate, having a much heavier coating than “Standard,” but, like it, has to be painted. There are many brands of practically one quality in the market, and, having no choice ourselves, we supply the brand preferred; but if the best is asked for, we send “Old Process,” believing it to be equal to any.
