Ivlachine Dipped Cabots Creosote Stained Shingles

()N all sides they are being acclaimed as a real achievement. Not pre- v viously has it been possible to get a shingle thoroughly permeated with Cabots Creosote Stain at a reasonable cost. Due to the perfection of the mechanical means of staining these shingles, not only is the color thoroughly and evenly spread over the entire surface of the shingles-top, both sides and ends-but each shingle in the bundle is thoroughly saturated with the wood-preserving Cabot's Creosote Stain.

How tlte Creosote z{cts

Chemists tell us that the action of the Creosote on the wood fibre is to mineralize it, almost transforming the sap cell from vegetable to mineral. No other treatment has yet been devised for the preservation of wood that in any way equals creosote.

By thus thoroughly saturating the shingles, the exposed portion is prevented from warping or cracking, while that portion protected from the weather is safe-guarded against dry rot, thus giving a lasting roof which, by reason of the high quality of the colors used in Cabot's stains, will generally need no attention for 5 or ro years. This avoids the necessity of spending money for re-staining, with all the muss and confusion that means around the home.

It is no wonder builders, contractors and architects are quick to adopt the machine dipped shingle as a real asset to the building material industry. They are indeed the big achievement of the decade.
