Most roofing guarantees are a joke.
Experience teaches the longer a roofing is guaranteed to last,
the poorer it is.
Manufacturers inexperienced in making roofings—without
knowledge as to their depcndafaiiit;.—without responsibility as
to their own financial standing, will very often
gurantee their roofing for any number of years simply
to get the order.
The roofing generally fails and so does the firm that makes it
and they never li .c to make good their guarantee,
Malthoid Roofing is made to make good and while its
manufacturers guarantee it, their guarantee is unnecessary
because the roofing in itself is sufficient to do
ail that is claimed for it.

For twenty-eight years, The Paraffine Paint Co., c.’
San Francisco and Chicago Heights

not one single purchaser can ever say that Company has

“AINT IT THE TRUTH”
Official anxiety over (lie seal
herd of Alaska appeals to the
average citizen of the North
very little. The Anacortes
American has the question
sized up as follows: Uncle
Sam has discovered that sev
eral thousand dollars worth of
seals have been killed in Alaska
without, his consent. To cit
izens of Aanncortes (lie Joss
will cause little regret, and
probably we will be able to
worry along in spite of the
loss of several million dollars
worth of pelts. The protection
of fur seals probably does not
make a very strong appeal (o
the citizens of Anacorles, am
way as the fur-bearing animal
as well as his light clad broth
er of warmer climates prob
ably kill more salmon in the
course of a year than the sum
total of the season's pack. Sat
moil is a staple article of food
of all classes, while seal skins
are a luxury for a few. Tim
maritime nations of northern
Europe, where the fishing in
dustry is of great importance,
formerly protected the fur seal
but the animal reduced t-h i
fish supply to such an extern
that the protection was ra
moved. Since then the num
ber of fur seals lias been re
duced and the fish catch is be •
coming larger every year. Thu
Anacortes does not “view with
alarm" any reduction of tin*
seal herds of flic North n
should the time come when E
tish supply begins to fall <- 1
Anacortes’ may join in a big
protest against the sa'ino
most deadly enemy.—Ex.
