Copper-Bound Brand Shingfes and Units

After a century of the old ax method of making and applying wood shingles, an inventor has gone to work in the interest of the wood shingle industry and has perfected new and improved methods of manufacture as well as application, which eliminate the tremendous waste under the ax method.

Under this new method, the shingles arrive on the job with no shingle under 5" in r,r'idth, which enables the shingler to cope with F.H.A. requirements without throwing away the narrow shingles, or consuming too much time in laying them. Under the old method it has been obvious the consumer has paid double due to the fact the shingler demanded increased wages for laying the narrow shingles under F.H.A. requirements and yet at the same time a large percentage of shingles were thrown out because the shingler claimed he could not lay same and meet F.H.A. requirements.

The manufacturer of the Copper-Bound cedar shingle has not only eliminated from the bundle the narrow shingles which have caused all the trouble but cuts and packs specially prepared trim ready for application on the roof, thus

eliminating further waste and labor and giving the home owner a tailor-made job.

The ready-lay hip and ridge unit is beveled and bound together with two bands of copper; comes assembled fbr any pitch ; ready marked for easy spacing; contains 56 units per bundle, and each bundle will lay 23 lineal feet at standard exposure. With this hip and ridge unit you are assured of complete triple coverage and no exposed nails.

The under hip units cut for any pitch are packed 16 unit bundles per box and will lay 90 lineal feet at standard exposure which is more than generally recovered from a square of shingles. These handy under hip units are ap. plied along with the field and save the shinglers much time as well as adding to the tightness of the hip.

Valley cut units are cut for any pitch from 9" dimension stock insuring complete triple coverage. Again the shingler saves time, and takes n,o chance of cutting into the valley tin which so often happened with the old ax method. They are sold in lots of four bundles which will lay 90 lineal feet at standard exposure, which again is more than can be recovered from a square of shingles.

H. L. Owen, the inventor, having patents pending has formed a company, &nown as Copper-Bound Units Company,l2lO Subway Terminal Building, Los Angeles, and is glad to announce Fisk & Mason, 855 El Centro Street, South Pasadena, as distributors f'or this territory.

(Continued from Page 7) destroying the French army. You can kill a French soldier, but you can't scare him; and on equal terms that faming patriot will prove more than a match for the brave but uninspired German soldier.

Somehow I know that those embattled Englishmen feel in their souls the truth of fhe words of their great poet who wrote:

"Oh well for him whose will is strongIIe suffers, but he cannot suffer long. Hc suffers, but he cannot suffer wrong." And further, when he speaks of that". unconquerable will, And courage, never to submit or yield."

Our instinctive sense of justice does not permit us to agree with John Stuart Mill, when he wrote: "In the contest for suprenracy, truth has no inherent advantage over error." It HAS! It ALWAYS \^IILL! As the Frenchman goes into battle singing his "Marseillaise," so the Englishman goes in, filled with the noble determination so well expressed by an English poet who said: "Never strike a sail to fear ! Come into port gt""tly, or sail with God the seas."

It was Gerald Massey who wrote:

"Old England still throbs with the Of a past she can never forget; fire, i And again shall she banner the world up higher, For there's life in the old land yet."

And I,m going to top o*f irri"**fo-n this time with an American poem of patriotism that is not nearly as well known as it should be. It was written by a man lots of us older fellows have seen and heard, but which the present generation has forgotten, I fear. He was Capt. Jack Crawford, who was known as "The poet scout," and here is bis fine offering:

"Oh beautiful emblem of Liberty

Oh star spangled Flag of the land

I love thee, Old Glory, with love free, s\as true, blue.

And as pure as the stars in the fiiere's no fag like my flag, there's Oh patriots, countrSrmen, 'Tis kissed by God's breezes, by caressed, Beloved by the North, by the South, East, and West; And each brilliant star shooting forth when unfurled, Sends flashes of hope to oppressed of the world."
