McMiL.AN begin- Yearly | pecial arrange- | Men may differ about prepared- ness for war, but all of us believe in preparedness for most things. It is preparedness that sends the runner over the tape ahead of his rivals. Itis preparedness that enables the advocate to sway judge and jury with his logic. It is preparedness that enables the manufacturer to out-distance his competitors. It is preparedness that has made the General Roofing Manufacturing Company The Big Gun in the Roofing Business The General's preparedness consists of the three largest and best equipped roofing and building paper mills in the world, Lach is a complete producing unit, manufacturing the full line of the General’s products. Each is advantageously located in the territory it serves, has cheap fuel aad favorabie transportation facilities. The General buys raw materials in enormous quan- Certain- tities and far ahead. This means favorable buying and pick of the market. ‘With manufacturing so perfected and cheapened, the highest quality is produced at the lowest cost. This preparedness enables the General to make one-third of all the rolls of roofing used. All over the civilized world you will find Roofing ‘The quality of roofing cannot be determined by looking at nor by twisting or tearing. Its durability cannot be tested ex- cept in actual use over a period of years. Contrary to popular belief roofing does not wear out—it dries out. CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is especially made to defeat this process of drying out; as it is thoroughly saturated with our properly blended soft asphalts and coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the soft saturation—the life of the roofing—from drying out. This produces a roofing pliable, yet durable, and impervious to the elements. CERTAIN-TEED products are made under the supervision of our board of graduate chemists, and are the result of long experience in mining, refining and blending of these materials. CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is guaranteed to hold “‘its placein the sun®* for 5, 10, or 15 years according to whether it is 1, 2, or 3 ply respectively. Behind this guarantee stands the responsibility of the world’s largest Roofing and Building Paper Mills. Past experience has proved that our guarantee is conservative and that the Roofing will out last the period of the guarantee. There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED, and a proper method of laying it, for every kind of building, with flat or pitched roofs from the largest sky - scraper to the smallest structure.

Lat- er, when the port had become a Ro- man one, Roman soldiers left this point on missions of conquest for | Macedonia, Syria and northeastern | Africa. In the Middle Ages the Cru- | saders made it one of their chief ports for embarkation to the Holy Land. With the rise of modern Italy as a naval Power and as a pos- sessor of colonies in Africa, Brindist renewed its oldtime fame and ctivity. The Ttalian seaport is situated about midway upon the high Ttalian heel, where the Adriatic narrows into the Strait of Otranto.

C. the Romans made it their base for their conquest of and communication with the East. The much mentioned Via Appia, which was constructed in the second century before Christ from Rome, over Venusia and Tarentum, ended shere. The description of this way is given by Horace in the tale of his journey from Rome to Brin- disium in company with Maecenas in 37 B. C. Virgil, first of Roman poets, died in this port on his return from Greece in B. C. 19. In 230 B. C, Brindisi was the starting point for the Roman troops that took part in the first Illyrian War, and many of the foremost soldiers of TImperial Rome have paced the streets ana squares there while their fleets lay outfitting in the inner harbor. “The splitting up of the Roman Empire into the empires of the West and of the East crushed the im- portance of the ancient port. no longer the military and the submission peace of the lands of the East.
