Daytona, Fla., April 27th, 1888.

Gentlemen:—We have used your Metallic Shingles on the First Congregational Church at this place. As to durability, the roof has been on now about three years, and seems as good as the day it was put on. Its appearance is beautiful, and its rain shedding qualities are perfect. We like the roof first rate, and can conscientiously recommend them to others.

Yours very truly,

CHAS. M. BINGHAM, Pastor.

Gentlemen:—We have put the Walter’s Metallic Shingles upon many buildings in Ithaca, and in each instance our customers have been perfectly satisfied. In our opinion they are the most durable roof we have handled. The writer has his house covered with the Galvanized Tin Shingles, and believes he has the most durable roof in Ithaca, because they need no painting, or care of any kind whatever. While costing more at the start, in the end the matter of economy is with the Walter’s Shingles.

Yours truly,

C. J. RUMSEY & CO.
