Home Owners Home Buyers Home Builders This advertisement is one of a series which will be published from time to time to familiarize the whole building and home-owning public with the superior virtues of NU-DURA-TIN (stand ardized roofing) for private domiciles and pub lic buildings of every kind. When vc say standardized, we mean that it has been built up to the degree of excellence required by the specifications of two of America's greatest experts on tin plate. In order to have an intelligent understand ing of -just why we have gone to the trouble and expense of standardizing a tin roofing and of naming it NU-DURA-TIN so that all builders and owners may in the future be absolutely cer tain of getting the best tin roofing that science has evolved, it is advisable that we tell something of the history of tin that great industry which found its birth in the early part of the eighteenth century. The practice of coating steel sheets with tin ""was invented by-'a German chemist, but the Ger mans were not able to hold this business, so that within half a century after the discovery Wales was producing the great bulk of the world's sup ply of tin plate. The tin plate industry is divided into two classes coke plates for food containers, tobacco .and, other, products susceptible to injury through j temperature ; or exposure r-and ternc plates, the 1 lowpj-'gradcpf which" are used in lining export ! cases and. fop many;other purposes, while the higher grades are devoted exclusively to the roofing of homes, schools, churches and buildings. of every kind. The word "terne" is a Welsh corruption of a French word, meaning "to turn," the idea being vthat terne plafqs turned back the elements! Conditions of manufacture forty or fifty years-ago made it impossible for the American manufacturer to compete with the Welsh pro ducer, and, in order to relieve this condition, the Mckinley tariff bill was passed in 1890. This made it possible to manufacture tin and terne plates in America. Since 1890, the industry has grown by leaps and bounds, while the quality of the plates pro duced in America is considerably better than those made in Wales since the American manu facturer and the American workman have been able to make many improvements in both methods and machinery. NU-DURA-TIN has been standardized and built up to a point 'of excellence without a superior, in order to obviate absolutely the like lihood Qf its buyer and user receiving an inferior tin. It is a fact that there have been two elements in -thepast which have injured the use of tin as a roofing. One was the poor quality of some of the plates made when the industry first was started in America and the other was the placing on roofs of tin plate of inferior quality a quality never intended for such use, but for the purposes described in which coke is used.
