Description
Black and white 5″ x 11 1/2″ ad for this company’s Red Cedar Shingles. The ad at the top of the page says that you can “Cut Building Cost with Genuine Cedar Shingles” and that you can “Figure cost by the years they last. Save upkeep…Fuel bills…Repairs”. The text talks about how much money you will save because the wood is saturated with a natural preservative, they block off heat and enjoy a cooler house in hot weather and there is a minimum maintenance cost. Believe it or not, at the end of the ad it says “Believe it or not, but Double-Walling costs no more:. It explains how the “Double-Walling” provides a deeper shadow line but, I am kind of lost when they talk about the “shingles are laid with a wider exposure to the weather”.
