RUBEROID ROOFING. „ (Extract from the Bulletin, Sydney, May sth, 1900.) finUE Sydney Eoyal Show was a passing good show in its way, though it might have been JL better. -Had the thermometer registered ISOdeg under a hat, or the mercury cracked 'the; ' 'tube witt)L the - quintessence' of cold, then 'things would 1 "have* hummed. As it was, it was 'an' t - ordinary kind of- show without special feature to impress t it on ths tablets of the brain hi • ' contradistinction to , the hundreds, of other similar exhibitions that -have been held ever since .Fred Webster took thq,. helm, and before. -Peshaps-the public- would rather not have .been.,, ' up like, kash-hoxise 'bacon" 'or' frozen down. Ijike refrigerated mutton, but had either of tj-t'eSe contingencies ocurr-ed they would'h'ave found' that shelter awaited them in the P. and? ;B. Kuberbid. house. There they could "have preserved their equanimity while others outside? ' suffered 'all the pang's or extremes of heat or cold, according as the fates or inclement Wragge had decreed. It is a strong point about '.his Ruberoid that it acts as a kind of insulating 0 material, which, through its being a bad conductor of heat, is equally impervious tothe most penetrating rays of an oul-back-sun or the hoariest of hoar frosts. A., - timber ■ 'and • galvanised iron crib is therefore not alongside it for comfort. Nor ;l does " it nearly approach it for arti&tic appearance. This, however, is a. .' mere detail that doesn't count much where draughts prevail. The whole Alpha and the Omega, and the Beta and the Theta, of the matter lies in the query — la it cheaper? When: the local! - bank manager holds the whip, that is what he will ask. When the mother of six wants a, . • new, bonnet, that is what sh, ! r.will ask. And he man that provides for them all naturally asksf the same question. The reply is that by erecting a P. and B. Riiberoid crib instead of one o£ the galvanised iron variety you save stuft all the time; you save in the initial coat; yott. "_ save in. construction, eventually saving your breath on oaths; so what more do you want?, ' A member of the Bulletin staff, who hasn't got a profound craving for dossing in the open, ■ is, thinking of petitioning the member for the Domain to log-roll a few Euberoid cribs into his camping-ground.
