Creo-Dipt Announces a Complete Line of Asbestos Shingles

The Creo-Dipt Company is announcing the "most complete line of roofing and sidewall materials in the building industry"-and the most sensational part of the announcement is the news that Creo-Dipt now offers a new and complete line of asbestos shingles.

Creo-Dipt first entered the Asbestos field early this summer with the acquisition of the Mohawk Asbestos Company of Oneida, New York. This Company has the reputation for manufacturing the finest asbestos shingle on the market because their methods produce a really individual shingle. Each differs from the other in color and texture.

The Williamsburg type of product made by Creo-Dipt's new subsidiary is an exact' replica of old hand-hewn shingles. The Williamsburg shingle was especially developed for Rockefeller's restoration of historic Williamsburg, Virginia. The Mohawk Company is an old company and both it and its products are very well known among the architects.

To supplement the Creo-Dipt-Mohawk line, Creo-Dipt developed a popular priced line of asbestos shingles which they are marketing under the name Creo-Dipt Asbestos Shingles. These will be available in both the American Method and Dutch Lap and in a variety of colors and with the soft texture approaching that of wood shingles which avoids the rigidity and uniformity that has turned so many people away from this type of shingle in the past.

Creo-Dipt has found that there is a growing demand for an attractive looking fireproof shingle that the dealer can sell at the right price.

In addition to Creo-Dipt Stained Shingles, Creo-Dipt Mohawk Shingles and Creo-Dipt Asbestoi Shingles, the Creo-Dipt Company now have the products described below: ., I

Creo-Dipt Pilgrims. This is a hand split shingle, rough hewn on the weather surface but smooth sawn on the back. It gives complete protection without a subroof. Architects are very favorable to Creo-Dipt Pilgrims because of their texture and shadow lines. They are available both stained and unstained.

Many lumber dealers are finding the restaining market increasingly profitable. CreoDipt Stains are also made for asbestos shingles and concrete tile.

Cre'o-Dipt White is a flat white for shingles, siding, s_tone, brick or stucco. Those who have used it praise Creo-Dipt White's durability, covering capacity, intense whiteness and ease of application. Several painters have remarked that they wouldn't believe a paint could slip so easily off the brush until they had tried the new CreoDipt White.

Creo-Dipt is announcing its full line of products with an extensive advertising campaign which includes leading national magazines, architect magazines, trade papers and direct mail.
