THE PASSING OF
THE OLD DAYS
A little over a half century
;.go practicalk the whole of th.
vast region king at the foot
hills of the Rocky mountain
and beyond to the Cascade- am
the Pacific, w»s an unknown
wilderness.
True there were settlement
i*. e and there on the Pacifi
ct'fl, where the Spaniards had
-. .Wished mi--ion- in south
.in California a century or
more preceding, or the fur tran
cr- had smarted towns on th"
iiorth Pacific coast. Some ex
ploration. too, had been carried
. n by various parties, and in.
dividual trappers were more or
less familiar with the region.
Yet for all this, nearly th
vi hole of the Rooky mountain
region was an unknown wild.
'Ihe Indian still held sway. Not
- yet had he found reason ser
iously to dispute the onwam
march of the white man.
A few years have passed by
and today Denver i- preparing
ii: event io mark the final pass
ing of the old days. Cities have
-prung up that rival the cities
-.f the East. Farms have bee.,
wrought out of the wildernes
hut surpass in productiveness
;ihe records of the older por
tions uf the country. And above
,11. the mineral resources have
famished the wealth forming
basis upon which has been
founded a prosperous nation.
The days of the pioneer ar •
f drawing to a close. Very
few are left to bring a sharp
: realization to the mind of the
pre-eut generation of the hard
-hip- of the days when the wild
e,i:e~s law unconquered. Nor
;u-e many left of the Indian
who founght bravely to defend
ihe lands of their ancestors
from- the all-conquering white.
For several decades now th-*
.-te-ady march has been toward
high development, toward the
building of prosperous cities,
he bieaking of the prairie- an.j
the settlement of the rich val
leys that dot the mountain
-tales, and the opening of mine
rich beyond the dream- of the
Post.
Much has been done. Much
remains to be done. Tf e fu
ture is yet to reveal the real
gratne-- of the West. Progre.
.has already gone to the point
where the East and the West
ere closely knitted. And. daily,.
-vents occur to prove that th.
West is rapidly taking it
place among the strong section
■>f the country.
The great ranches of Ur
pa-t are becoming fewer i
I umber. Rapidly are they 1 •
mg paneled out to make
hemes fur the thousands now
-citing their faces toward th
West.
Ji is to the past that we turn
for inspiration, but to the fu
ture do we look for greale
things than have been wrm gM
in the days that are gone.
The link- that bind us with
the past will soon be dissolved.
II i- well that we take heed
•v.Hle we may.

We want builders to see us
about roofing.
We want to demonstrate why it
is to your advantage to roof
ycur building with Malthoid
Roofing—and we will do this to
your complete satisfaction.
We will show you beyond any
question that Malthoid is the
very highest type of
roofing perfection and made so
well that it will last as long
as the building it covers.
We will show' you that Malthoid
is a better roofing than
shingles—is more satisfactory
than iron—is cheaper than tin—
in fact, we can prove that
there is no other roofing known,
to the building trade that
is as good—
as durable—
as long lasting—
as water proof—>
as fire resisting and as cheap as
Malthoid Roofing.
It has got every other brand of
ready roofing marking time
while it is progressing—
there is more of it sold
on the Pacific Coast than ail
other brands combined and it
speaks well for the
intelligence of builders that
this is so.
The makers of
Malthoid oofing—
The Pai affine Paint Co.
of San Francisco
and Chicago Heights,
know their K .less for they
have been at it
for twenty-eight years and
they not only make this roofing
to sell but they make it to last
and to please the people wha
buy it.
They would rather have the
good will of the builder than
his money—-and they get both
by the way they make '
Malthoid Roofing.
If you have roof troubles of any
hind or of any description—no
matter what kind of a roof
you have on your building, see
us at once and we will help
you out of you* difficulty.
