Three Destroyed One Roof Escaped Here is a striking illustration and proof of the fire resisting c|ualities of Brantford Roofing. The picture tells the story. Read Mr. Offer's letter confirming it. He says: "I covered the roof of 201 Marlborough To- ronto, with your Asphalt Slates some time ago. This house is one of a row of four, the remaining three were covered with Cedar Shingles.
