Dear Sirs:—This institution has passed two winters under cover of Walter’s Metal Shingles. Our Winters are very wet, rain falling most of the time, but there has been no leak. The shingles are, therefore, entirely satisfactory.
Yours very truly,

Gentlemen:—It affords me much pleasure to indorse favorably the Walter’s Patent Metallic Shingles. I have used them on our church buildings in Trinidad, Colo., Albuquerque, N. M., and Woodstock, Md. In the first named place they have been in use over two years, and have withstood, without detriment, the very high winds and occasional driving storms of rain and snow for which that State is so remarkable. In the other places they are also giving satisfaction in every respect.
I consider a roof of this material far superior to the ordinary tin or iron, both in beauty of design and solidity of construction, and see no reason why it should not supersede slate, as it is far less costly, requires a lighter frame, is just as much fire or storm-proof, and equally durable if kept painted.
Hoping your goods may elicit the patronage they justly deserve, I beg to remain, gentlemen,
Yours very truly,
EDWARD BARRY, S. J.
