A Rutland Fire Clay Co. advertisement for Rutland Roof Coating, on page 145 of The Saturday Evening Post of April 18, 1931. The paint department manager of a New York hardware company, named in the text as Mr. Warren, describes a test in which a handkerchief coated with the product held water. The ad says the coating is made only of asphalt, asbestos and mineral oil, drying to asphalt bound with asbestos fibres. The next page, with another advertisement and the issue's contents, is included.
