TAUNTON, MASS., April 25th, 1888.

Gentlemen:—We have used in less than two years about 800
squares of your Metallic Shingles, and they have given the best
of satisfaction in every case, and in our opinion are far ahead
in durability and appearance of either slate or wooden shingles.

Yours truly,

N. CRAPO & BRO.

WINTHROP ST. BAPTIST CHURCH, TAUNTON, MASS., May 5th, 1888.

Gentlemen:—We are in every way fully satisfied with the
Walter’s Metal Shingles which you put on the roof of our church
two years ago. It would be difficult to desire a superior
roofing.

Yours very truly,

J. K. WILSON, Pastor.

CENTENARIAN M. E. CHURCH, BEATRICE, NEB., May 2d, 1888.

Gentlemen:—I consider the Walter’s Metal Shingle an improvement
over anything of the past; superior to slate in appearance; of
less weight and cost, and just as durable. When properly put in
place it can but give the best of satisfaction. Can heartily
recommend it.

Respectfully,

A. C. CALKINS, Pastor.

MATTEAWAN, N. Y., April 25th, 1888.

Gentlemen:—I take great pleasure in giving my unprejudiced
opinion of Walter’s Metallic Shingles. I have been using them
for the last three years, and have never had any fault found
with them of all the roofs that I have put on, and I have had
good practical tinners proclaim to me that they consider it
the best tin roofing they have ever seen. It is _the_ roof for
me when I am building myself. Any person adopting this roof,
by giving it a coat of metallic paint every five years, I will
warrant them to have a tight roof for two generations.

Yours truly,

SAM’L McKEE.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., April 27th, 1888.

Gentlemen:—I have put on in the Northwest large amounts of your
Metallic Shingles for others, and also covered my own residence
some five years ago, and can heartily recommend your goods to
any one desiring a substantial and absolutely tight roof of
fine appearance, which gives a roof much better than slate and
a lower price.

Most respectfully yours,
