Mr. JAMES CONLEY, _Agent_, Walter’s Patent Tin Shingles, Rome,
N. Y.
Dear Sir:—I take pleasure in commending the Walter’s Tin
Shingles, as applied to my house by you. As you will remember,
the roof was not completed in all its details when the winter
set in last year, and, at my request, the scaffolding was left
on the different roofs, more for a test from banking of snow
and back-water, feeling assured that if the shingles survived
the test, I would never experience any trouble from that
source, in the future, when the scaffolding was removed. I was
more than satisfied with the test, as we experienced no trouble
from leakage or from any other source. Therefore, I take great
pleasure in recommending the Walter’s Patent Tin Shingles
to whoever contemplates using a metallic shingle for their
buildings.
