HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY,
FORT STEILACOOM, W. T., May 2d, 1888.
Dear Sirs:—This institution has passed two winters under cover
of Walter’s Metal Shingles. Our Winters are very wet, rain
falling most of the time, but there has been no leak. The
shingles are, therefore, entirely satisfactory.
Yours very truly,
JOHN W. WAUGHOP, M. D.
Sup’t Hospital Insane, W. T.

WOODSTOCK COLLEGE, HOWARD CO., MD., December 8th, 1886.
Gentlemen:—It affords me much pleasure to indorse favorably
the Walter’s Patent Metallic Shingles. I have used them on our
church buildings in Trinidad, Colo., Albuquerque, N. M., and
Woodstock, Md. In the first named place they have been in use
over two years, and have withstood, without detriment, the very
high winds and occasional driving storms of rain and snow for
which that State is so remarkable. In the other places they are
also giving satisfaction in every respect.
I consider a roof of this material far superior to the
ordinary tin or iron, both in beauty of design and solidity of
construction, and see no reason why it should not supersede
slate, as it is far less costly, requires a lighter frame, is
just as much fire or storm-proof, and equally durable if kept
painted.
Hoping your goods may elicit the patronage they justly deserve,
I beg to remain, gentlemen,
Yours very truly,
