Gentlemen:—I have been contracting and building fifty years, 34 years in North Texas. I recommend your metal roofing as the best I have ever used, and that it gives perfect satisfaction, and if painted every five years it will last a century.

Yours truly,

GEO. MELTON,
Architect and Builder.

Mr. W. F. Wallace, Sec’y and Treas’r, Nat. Sheet Metal Roofing Co.

Dear Sir:—Having used your Galvanized Tin Shingles largely in Maryland, Connecticut and here, and recommended their use in other sections, I have no hesitation in stating that everywhere the results have been completely satisfactory. I shall continue to use the roofing in preference to any that I know.

Yours respectfully,
