The differ ence is that you do the job but once when you use Certain-teed Ld. Roofing Guaran-tcetf Certain-feed is the least expensive in the end and there is so little difference in tint cnHhzt you cannotafford to talcethe risk of buying; a roofing that is not guar, anteed by a responsible manufacturer. There is no advance test by which you can determine the amount or quality of service a roofing will give. Such super ficial tests as bending, smelling, tearing', etc., do not prove how long a roof will last". "The true proof is on the roof." Such unreliable tests are used by some manufacturers and jobbers to dispose of their goods. Others take advantage of the public by putting out second or third grade roofings as their first grade goods, or by-putting them under old established brands built up on better goods. But our definite guarantee is your absolute advance Iniuiltdgt of the serv ice you will get from Certaln-teed Roofing. The responsibility of the three biggest roofing mills in the world stands behind that guarantee. It is better than any roofing "test" ever invented. The amount of Certaln-teed Roofing required for an average roof, aay ten squares, will cost less than $5 over the cheap mail order grade. This small additional cost is saved many times in the fifteen years wear which is covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. Certaln-teed Roofing is sold at a reason able price everywhere by dealers who believe in giving unsurpassed quality at a fair profit.
