Milford, Del., May 4th, 1888.
Dear Sirs:—This is to say that I have used several thousand shingles of Walter’s Patent on our roof at the Phosphate Factory, put on by W. P. Cullen, and up to this time not a single drop of water or a weight of snow has drifted through it, and if kept properly painted, I believe the roof will last as long as any person could wish it to.

Gentlemen:—Having Walter’s Metal Shingles on two of my buildings, put on by F. H. Hodge, the new Courier building being sided with them, I feel that I am competent to speak of the merits of the shingles. My experience has been entirely satisfactory, and I regard the Metallic Shingles as the best roofing and siding extant. If I were to build a hundred houses, and it were possible to use these shingles, I would not hesitate one moment, as I regard them as cheaper and better than any other covering in the market.
Yours, &c.,
WILLET F. COOK.
