One of the most important items that every house builder ought to
consider is that of sheathing papers. This important question, unless
decided right, means an additional expense of many dollars in fuel
each year. Sheathing papers are used to keep out cold and dampness,
but only a few fulfill their purpose. Cold draughts penetrate cheap
papers, and in a very short time these cheap papers disintegrate and
become mere dust. A good waterproof paper repels dampness, keeps
out the cold and lasts the life of a building. For over twenty-five
years Neponset Papers have been the standard. Actual experiences have
proved that Neponset saves one-third of the fuel required to heat a
house, therefore, a big saving each year. Neponset acts as a blanket
on a house it keeps out the cold and keeps in the heat. Don’t lay the
foundations for an annual loss, save one-third of the money you would
spend on fuel. That’s what Neponset has done for others, it will do it
for you.

_Gentlemen_: Replying to yours of the 2nd, there
is no photographer here that can take views. I am
sending you a catalogue showing views we have half-tone
plates for. If they will do I can loan them to you.
The original photographs are lost. The long buildings
shown, bird’s-eye view are covered with Neponset, put
on nearly ten years ago; one coat of paint put on at
the time, nothing done since and not a leak; appear in
good condition now. Anything we can do for you let us
know.

_Gentlemen_: Your favor at hand. Samples of
leaflets only had Neponset on. Hope that you will
also send some with Paroid as we find, in many cases,
customers prefer to pay the difference.
One of our roofs, about twelve hundred square feet,
was covered with Red Rope some ten years ago. It had
no care, but kept OK. until this season. Pretty good
record for a cheap roof.
Yours very truly,
THE NEWBURGH LUMBER CO.

Kansas City, Mo.
_Gentlemen_: Replying to yours of the 22nd
inst., we covered our large lumber shed and barn with
Neponset Red Rope Roofing two years ago this fall,
and painted same at once, and to this day is in good
condition and has given us entire satisfaction. Other
kinds of roofing which we paid more money for do not
seem to have given us the service that this has. We
ask you to kindly advise us what is the best paint to
repaint this with, and which is the best season of the
year to use same.
Yours very truly,
BADGER LUMBER CO.,

_Gentlemen_: Will you please send me sample of
sidings and roofings, and also prices? I want to get
Neponset unless you have got something better. Neponset
beats anything of the kind I ever used.
Yours truly,
W. E. MOULTON.
