Our Queen Anne Shingles are designed expressly to meet a want often
expressed for an attractive and artistic roof covering and outside
decorating. They are not intended to take the place of our Standard
Walter’s Patent, which for general use are incomparable, but less
ornamental than the Queen Anne Shingles. They have bold clean cut lines,
producing, from the effects of light and shade, the most striking and
artistic roof yet produced by metallic shingles or tiles.
For church spires, belt coursing, towers or mansard roofing, they cannot
be excelled. The cut illustrates the kind of finish used at the eaves and
verge board. The same ridge coping used for our Standard Shingles can be
used for this. This shingle must be seen to be appreciated.
We recommend the Bronze Metal, or the Galvanized Shingles for use on
public or first-class private buildings, because such buildings should be
covered with the best roofing material to be had.

SURFACE MEASURE.—All roofers compute roofing jobs by squares, which
means 100 square feet, or 10 feet square. If you go to your architect or
roofer and ask him how much it will take or cost to cover your roof, he
will first ascertain how many square feet there are to be covered; and
if, for example, there are 2,500 square feet he will tell you there are
twenty-five squares to be covered; and in order to intelligently supply
what is wanted, we put up our shingles in boxes of one square each; that
is to say, each box of one square will cover one hundred square feet
after they have been put on.
