Messrs. JEROME TWICHELL & CO., Kansas City, Mo.

Gentlemen:—Walter’s Metallic Shingles bought of you last May
were put on our school-house, and I am glad to state that they
make a tight, handsome and substantial roof. Everybody is
pleased with it. I can recommend them to all who want a tight
and substantial roof.

Yours truly,

REV. CHAS. SCHAAF,
Pastor of Catholic Church.

HUTCHINSON, KANSAS, October 26th, 1889.

Messrs. JEROME TWICHELL & CO., Kansas City, Mo.

Gents:—We have used almost all kinds of Metallic Shingles
manufactured, but find the Walter’s Shingle makes the best roof
of any we have found. They make a tight, ornamental and durable
roof, and have never given us a particle of trouble, and we
are glad to recommend them to any one wanting a first-class
metallic roof.

Respectfully,

SWIFT, MANKOFF & CONGDON.

TRINIDAD, COLO., November 16th, 1889.

Messrs. JEROME TWICHELL & CO., Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Sirs:—We have used the Walter’s Patent Shingles to the
satisfaction of all concerned on the following buildings:
Southern Hotel, South Side Public School, Jewish Synagogue and
several minor buildings. They undoubtedly make a good roof.

Yours truly,

SCHMIDT BROS.

Mr. JAMES CONLEY, _Agent_, Walter’s Patent Tin Shingles, Rome,
N. Y.

Dear Sir:—I take pleasure in commending the Walter’s Tin
Shingles, as applied to my house by you. As you will remember,
the roof was not completed in all its details when the winter
set in last year, and, at my request, the scaffolding was left
on the different roofs, more for a test from banking of snow
and back-water, feeling assured that if the shingles survived
the test, I would never experience any trouble from that
source, in the future, when the scaffolding was removed. I was
more than satisfied with the test, as we experienced no trouble
from leakage or from any other source. Therefore, I take great
pleasure in recommending the Walter’s Patent Tin Shingles
to whoever contemplates using a metallic shingle for their
buildings.

I remain, yours truly,

CHAS. WIGHAM,
House, 418 Floyd Ave., Rome, N. Y.
