Mr. Dame is enthusiastic about the possibilitiis for increased business for his firm's products in the islands. "The popularity of Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles there is mainly due to_the way in which they have stood up under actual t9gt. Cheap shingles have been found to be entirely unsuitable on account of their liability to cup and curl when subjected to the conditions created by alfernating heavy ,rains and hot sun, so that 6/2 Stars are no longEr cariied by the large dealers. As the Creo-Dipt Company stains only the highest grade edge grain shingles, thete have found i ready market," he said. "Another,ieason for their popular- ity is-the- fac-t that termites, which are a great probtim in the islands, do not attack creosote treated-shingies.,'
