A Quaker
Tin Roof.
I WHEN your grandfath-

there was a Quaker tin-
smith in Philadelphia
5 named James Truman,
I the sort of man who E
s doesn't deal in substi-
tutes, or "something else S
5 just as, good." When a E
5 new roof was wanted on
the old Horace Binney E
5 residence on Fourth
S street, they got James to
put an old-fashioned tin E
j roof over the shingles
E for those old mossbacks,
S as we roverently call
S them, liked to have roofs E
S that last. E
5 Well, that tin roof is there
yet 1835 to 1920; that's
E eighty-five years so fur! E
Quaker styles in hats and E
s roofs change wcry slowly, be- E
S cause tho .stuff they use takes
S bo long to wear out!
S T(n mnkes tho best roof but E
you want the best tin. Ask any E
s roofer to name the best brands
