Our Standard Charcoal Roofing Tin Shingles are made of such brands as
“Mansel,” “Dean,” “Worcester,” “P. T. L.” &c., and guaranteed to be
first-class, well-coated plates, perfect in finish. Next comes our
Galvanized (re-dipped) shingle; this is our Standard Tin Shingle, taken
after it is made and dipped into melted zinc, adding a second coat
of fully twenty pounds on each square, giving with the tin, a more
durable coating than that used on galvanized iron, making it absolutely
rust-proof and saving painting. Next is what we call “Old Process” or “M.
F.” This is what is known as “Old Style,” “Double-Dipped,” “Old Method,”
and other names, but what is really a very superior article of roofing
plate, having a much heavier coating than “Standard,” but, like it, has
to be painted. There are many brands of practically one quality in the
market, and, having no choice ourselves, we supply the brand preferred;
but if the best is asked for, we send “Old Process,” believing it to be
equal to any.
