The cold figures of a fire loss chart are apt to mean little to the man whose house ‘‘has never burned down.’ But an ¢ncreasing number of home owners are finding that behind those figures lies a real threat, for in ten years our annual national fire loss has swelled from $172,000,000. to nearly $600,000,000. | Somethz’ng to remember until you have an Asbestos Roof IRE authorities agree that the in- flammable roof is a tre- mendous fire hazard, . responsible not only for occasional fire but often for the wiping out of whole areas. They are pleading for fire-safe roofs as the only way to stem this rapidly rising tide of destruction. For, today, there is no longer any excuse for an inflammable roof. Johns-Manville Asbestos roofings and shingles eliminate this risk, and in countless cases have saved homes and businesses from destruc- tion. Made from an indestructible mineral rock fibre, they cannot burn. Sparks or flying brands burn out harmlessly on an asbestos roof. Everlasting Durability With this protection goes an almost unbelievable permanence. Asbestos is a mineral fibrewhich cannot rot, rust, or corrode. Hence Johns-Manville Asbestos Roofings will outlast the buildings they cover. Never the need to replace them nor even to spend money on repairs. A Such endurance makes the fire-safety of asbestos shingles or roofing actually cost less than the hazard The blow torch test which shows the fire-safety of Jobns-Manville Asbestos Shingles ofan inflammable roof. Johns-Manville No. 70 gray shingles will protect and beautify your home at an extremely moderate first cost. As there will be no repairs or replacement the cost per year is actually far lower than that of other roofings. Asbestos for every roof Safeguard your business with Asbestos, too.
