Stake's home on Sunset Road in Chicago's beauti- ful North Shore suburb, Winnetka, Illinois. --It's Tapered Equally good results may be secured with Winthrops for other types of houses in other settings. There is a range of thirteen colors -- eight solid and five combinations. Thin at the Top ( Thick at the Butt The architect, Mr. Ralph W. Varney, of Chicago, achieved this individuality by a distinctive and unusual handling of usual building materials. Dark red English Tudor face brick are laid up with skintled joints. Buff Bedford stone and split Wisconsin limestone are used in a manner suggestive of Normandy. However, the house, with its brick walls and hand- adzed half-timbered stucco, is unmistakably Tudor. For the roof of this home, and for the garage as well, the Slatefield Blend of Winthrop Tapered Asphalt Shingles was selected. This is a blend of heather blue, heather green and purple and no little of the beauty of the house is due to the effect created by the purple in the Winthrops and the dark red of the bricks. The whole is an excellent example of the use of colors that harmonize and that fit a structure into its surroundings. Winthrops, the only tapered asphalt shingles made, have thick butts that cast attractive shadow lines, double the wearing thickness, lie tight and snug. Unequalled for laying over old roofs. Write for Samples Let us send you a full set of Winthrops. See their beautiful colors = all natural slate. Note the taper. Remember Winthrops do not curl, crack, split, rust, rot nor saw through their nails. They bear the Class C Label of Underwriters' Laboratories. Write on your letterhead for samples, free.
