Because oftheir new beauty, attractive colors, and ease of application, demand for these improved, fireproof roofing shingles has grown tremendously.

The American Colonial is an outstanding Johns-Manville development. In fact, it is the most beautiful, economically priced asbestos roofing shingleJ-M has ever developed.

Distinctive in appearance, with its horizontal shadow lines and deep grained texture and permanent as stone the American Colonial costs the homeowner less per year of service than any otber rooJ.

Backed by the Johns-Manville name, these asbestos shingles are easier for you to sell. f n a recent national survey, 83.o,j of the people interviewed said they would be willing to pay a little more to make their home safer by using fireproof asbestos building materials, and of those who answered "yes",66/s namedJohnsManville as the manufacturer in whom they would have the grearest confidence. t/*'t"rr?t grfrrrhi lcrsr 35 years ptus. . . . orrd ]hey're EASY TO APPLY
