Ordinory Shingle Stqins ore nol good enough for Filile Shokes

When you want something done "better than the rest"- you have to do it yourself. That's why, years ago, we learned to "roll our own" rich pigments to make the most superlative cedar shake stain in captivity. Fitite Shakes are pre-stained exclusively with our own Stayon Stains, made with our own pigment rolling equipment, and formulated by our own staff of experts who have thirty years of shake-staining experience behind their work.

Dealers who know how important a good solid color-coating is in making cedar shakes a profftable and customer-satisfying line will want to know more about the Stayon Stains that have given Fitite Shakes their leadership in the market since 1922. Your inquiries are cordially invited. A telegram or letter will bring you prompt response. When you have the Fitite Shake and Stayon Stain lines, you can be confident that you have the best on the market today. Fitites are, of course, America's original processed cedar shakes.

WHOTESATERS ATTENTION: If you are interested in the sale and distribution of our quality line of pre-stained shakes, write immediately to:
