This method always produces good results as has been proven by the number of roofs treated in this manner and the cost is exceptionally low as compared to the cost of a new roof, being approximately one-fourth of the price. If you have a slag roof that needs attention, phone or write us. Do not put it off too long because when the felt covering of fhe roof is too far gone nothing can be done except apply a new roof which costs considerably more than taking care of the old one. FOR R .
