Gentlemen:—The Walter’s Metallic Shingles were first brought to my notice by Mr. James Conley, of this city, some two years ago, and I made a personal examination and test of same, and have since specified and had them used in preference on several buildings. They make a light, handsome and durable roof, and I have yet to hear the first complaint.

Respectfully,

WM. H. DAVIES, Architect.

Gents:—Yours of the 25th at hand regarding the Walter’s Shingles. I purchased in the spring the Walter’s Shingles and used them on my dwelling house. I must say they make the best looking roof and the tightest roof I ever saw, and they are easily laid. I am much pleased with them and can recommend them very highly.
