THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
To Our Stockholders
It is a special pleasure to report that 1966 was the best year tn the Com pany s BO year history. Ruberoid earned more, sold more and produced more than in any previous year. It is our strong feeling that the foundation has now been established for achieving some of the important goals we have been working toward in recent years
Net income showed an advance for the third straight year and attained record levels, rising 26'1 over 1965 results. Sales reached a new high for the third successive year, increasing 9'- over the 1965 total.
These significant advances are all the more encouraging for they dramatize Ruberoid's diversified strength in a year that experienced reduced business growth and a sluggishness in new housing construction activities.
During 1966, Ruberoid achieved some key milestones in its long range plans. In addition to the steadily-increasing benefits we are realizing on our recent capital improvements, we continued to experience better sales cover age and deeper customer and industry penetration with our broadened prod uct lines of building materials, floor coverings and industrial products.
The year's encouraging performance also gave our Board of Directors the opportunity to enact two increases in the quarterly wdend rate to our stockholders.
Last year, an important step was taken with the ai isition of American Felt Company. This outstanding concern is a major md fully-diversified manufacturer of natural and synthetic fiber felts, in .ustrial fabrics, filter devices and custom-designed fabricated products
Some of the more important considerations in the acquisition of this Company were the strengthening of our marketing capabilities in the in dustrial world and the opportunity to expand into areas related to American Felt's activities.
As we view the coming year, we are both confident and optimistic about the future and its promise. At the outset, we will be challenged by the present economic circumstances However, as the year progresses ue have every expectation that it will turn out to be one where we will realize favorable results.
The Company is in a strong financial position. We intend to pursue our policy of fully reviewing all possibilities for expansion and internal growth
On behalf of our Directors and Officers. I acknowledge with gratitude the valuable contributions of our customers, stockholders and employees Without their support, the year's record achievements would never have been realized.
Sincerely.
January 23, 1967

The financial statements for 1966 and 1965 shown in this report have been ad/usted to reflect the pool ing of interests of The Ruberoid Co. and those of its subsidiary. American Felt Company and also for the 2-for-l split of the Company's capital stock in December.
SALES AND INCOME
Net sales in 1966 aggregated S183.804.821. to mark the third successive year of record perform ances for the Company. This signified a 9' i. advance over the 1965 total of $168,428,410.
Net income in 1966 attained the highest level in the Company's 80 year history. These earnings rose 26*^ to S8.496.459. equal to $2.05 a share on the 4,140,296 average shares outstanding. These totals are exclusive of a special charge of $4,800,000 or $1.16 a share set up as a reserve against a possible loss on the bearer promissory notes relating to the Cabot Titania Corporation.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company again ended the year in a strong financial position. Working capital at the year-end amounted to $45,147,127. an B'i rise over the 1965 total of $41,686,038.
Current assets :o current liabilities showed a 3.2 to 1 ratio. This corresponds to the 1965 proportion of 4.0 to 1.
At the end of 1966, cash and marketable securi ties amounted to S14.615.314, as opposed to the year-earlier $5,267,571.
At 1966 s close, stockholder equity was $81,187,512 orSl9.54 a share as opposed to the 1965 amount of S80.592.749 or S19.65 per share.
On October 31. 1966, our Company secured more than 99 per cent of the 192.750 outstanding com mon shares of American Felt Company through an exchange offer for an equal number of shares of Ruberoid's capital stock. The financial statements of this company, which is operated as a subsidiary, have been pooled with those of Ruberoid in this report for the years of 1966 and 1965.
Two significant changes were made with regard to our investment in Cabot Titania Corporation at Ashtabula. Ohio.
Early in the year. Ruberoid exchanged its equity holdings of 20,000 shares of 5'i cumulative con vertible voting preferred stock and $2,650.000 in notes receivable of this concern for a 5ljr' subor dinated bearer promissory note in amount of S4 650,000 due January 3. 1973. Subsequent to this, an
GAF 12357
additional S150.000 of the same class of notes was received in exchange for a cash advance of a simiJar amount.
As this report wen! to press. Ruberotd approved in principle an agreement with Cabot Corporation, the parent of this concern, whereby the Cabot Titania 51-'- bearer notes would be replaced bysubordinated bearer notes of Cabot Corporation having special extended payment terms. This was undertaken to induce Cabot to guarantee a five year supply contract of Cabot Titania to furnish in creased quantities of titanium tetrachloride to a ma/or customer, and to advance further operating capital to Cabot Titania.
The Company is providing a reserve m 1966 of S4,800.000 against the bearer notes receivable, which is reflected as a special charge after net income.
These transactions are explained in greater detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on Page 10.
DIVIDENDS
Our Board of Directors voted two increases in dividend payments during the year. Dividends per share in 1966 totaled 92'- cents, adjusted for the 2-for-l stock split, which compares with the 1965 adtusted amount of 80 cents. Dividends are nowbeing paid at the rate of 25 cents per share per quarter.
In adopting these increases our Board took into consideration 1965's sharp sales and earnings rise plus the expectations of record sales and earnings during 1966. These payments also marked the Com pany s 78th uninterrupted year of cash dividend payments.
PLANT A EQUIPMENT
Our capital expenditure program, that has totaled over S40 million for the past five years, continued according to our intended pian of bringing our plant and equipment to Us proper capacity and to a higher level of efficiency, as well as to improving our prod uct quality and customer service.
In 1966 these expenditures totaled $5,208,471. The chief outlays were for substantial production innovations at our Gloucester City. \. [ and Erie. Penna facilities for the manufacture of new types of flooring felts, and, for the first stages of an ex pansion program ai our Fullerton. Penna sheet vinyl flooring plant.
The net value of property pia.ct and equipment at the end of the year aggregated S59 67m.J83 as compared with the 1965 year - end amount of S00.122.711.
Expenditures lor repairs and main tenance amounled to S10 07.1.199 in 1966 This compares with S8.976.649 expended in the precious war
ANNUAL A SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
The Company held two meetings for its stock holders during the year. These were the Annual Meeting on April 29 and a Special Meeting on December 14.
Both these meetings were underlined by a largerthan-usuai attendance and a participation of ap proximately 93 per cent of the outstanding shares of capital stock.
At the December 14 meeting, stockholders gave their approval lo an increase in the Company's au thorized capita! stock to 10 million shares from the previous 3 million and a 2-for-l split of the out standing capital stock.

Remodeling and Redecorating'
BUILDING MATERIALS
During 1966 the inherent strength our Company enioys in the home remodeling and replacement markets was emphatically demonstrated by the sales growth of Ruberoid s line of building products in the face of a sharp drop in housing starts.
Historically when new housing starts decline, repair expenditures show an increase thus assuring a relative degree of stability to Ruberoid's sales. This was amply demonstrated last year. Although the light money situation of 1966 prompted a de cline in new housing starts, financial institutions made ample money available for home improve ment loans.
Over the past three decades, Ruberoid has weld ed a strong association with the home improvement contractor and specialist. As in the past, our Com pany devoted a considerable portion of its energies to the needs of these contractors and specialists. Some of these centered on the manufacture of spe cialty items for their exclusive use, specialized sales promotional features and publications offer ing technical and administrative guidance.
FLOOR COVERINGS
One of the most impressive features of our 1966 performance was the sales growth of the Company's resilient floor tile and sheet vinyl floor coverings among consumers, builders, architects and decora tors While both these product lines are used in new construction, a large proportion found its way into remodeling and decorating programs. This grow th is credited to several factors. These principall> are the increasing levels of income, the higher rales of family formation, the multiplication of households, the economical purchase price, the ease of installation and the low cost of maintenance.
In addition to residences, more resilient floor cov erings are being applied in hotels, motels, mobile homes, offices, public buildings, hospitals, educa tional institutions, manufacturing establishments, stores and libraries.
Perhaps the most significant change was noted in the increased floor tile sales to the "do-it-yourseif trade. This strong showing is affirmed by a recen! surve\. underlaken by a leading national consumer publication, revealing that 54'. of con sumer sales of resilient floor coverings, mainly floor tiles, are ultimately applied by the customers themselves.
DIVERSIFICATION OF MARKETS

Spearheading the sheet vinyi flooring line is a new Luran* "100 plus'' Airtred* that offers a thicker wearing surface plus heavier properties of foamed interlayers and asbestos backing. Airtred can be used in any specialized commercial situa tion where style, underfoot comfort, quietness and ease of maintenance are primary considerations.
in the marketing of vinyl asbestos floor tile, our Company continued to note sizable advances. Be cause style is the key factor in this growth, the Com pany placed greater emphasis on the natural look" in both its embossed and smooth surface patterns. Since its introduction in the early 1950 s. vinyl as bestos floor tile has steadily risen m popular ac ceptance to a position where today it surpasses as phalt tile by wide margins.
INew Construction
Despite occasional dips, new construction activ ity, for both residential and non-residential struc tures has increased steadily since the end of World War il. As the nation s population centers continue to increase and enlarge, a corresponding need de velops for residences, educational facilities, hospi tals. public utility buildings, shopping centers, re ligious institutions, office buildings, governmental agencies and manufacturing establishments
Although a sharp slowdown in the rate of hous ing starts developed in late 1966. all other segments of construction for commercial, institutional, public
and industrial structures as well as urban rem ival programs reflected favorable advances
Ruberoid :s well equipped to capitalize on the more than S50 billion new construction market through its nnl'onwide sales force, its spread o; plants and a si ig distribution network

NOTE 1-POOLING OF AMERICAN FELT COMPANY AND
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: Effective October 31. 1966 the Company acquired 99ri of the common stock of American Felt Company in exchange for capital stock of The Ruberoid Co. This transaction was treated as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes. Accord ingly. the consolidated financial statements for 1966 and 1965 reflect the accounts of American Felt Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Drycor Felt Company.
NOTE 2-INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO CABOT
TITANIA CORPORATION: The Company's investment in Cabot Titania Corporation (Titania) at December 31, 1965 consisted of S2.000.000 of 5C cumulative converti ble voting preferred stock (20.000 shares) and S2.300.000
of o1';'' notes receivable due in 1973. On March 31. 1966 the Company exchanged its pre
ferred stock interest and option and notes receivable
of S2.650.000 for a Titania Shs'c subordinated bearer
promissory note in the amount of $4.650.000 due Jan uary 3. 1973. Subsequent advances amounting to SI50.000 were made to Titania for two additional notes
under these same terms to bring the total to S-l.800.000. Titania s financial position at September 30. 1966. the
close of its fiscal year, was as follows:
Working capital and prepayments......... S2.330.006 Property, plant and equipment, less accu
mulated depreciation of $4,268,195 ........ 22.520.106
Working capital and other assets............... 24.850.114

27.558,807
Net deficit .................................................... S2.708.693
No principal or interest is payable on the subordinated
notes as long as any amounts are owing on the bank debt.
Titania produces and sells titanium tetrachloride and titanium dioxide. The tetrachloride plant is operating satisfactorily while the oxide plant, which is using a new chloride process, has experienced certain technical and production difficulties since it became operational in January 1965 Although further losses are anticipated in 1967. Cabot Corporation (Cabot), which now owns 100' of the stock of Titania and has invested $19,650.000 m this project as of September 30. 1966. has protided working capital as needed and its management has indicated that an active development program will be continued to improve the quality and quantity of
production. The Company is contingently liable as a guarantor of
notes payable of Titania in the amount of $2,500,000. On March 10. 1967, in order to induce Cabot to
guarantee a five year supply contract to furnish in creased quantities of titanium tetrachloride to a major
customer and to advance further operating capital to Titania. the Company approved m principle an agree ment with Cabot whereby the 5Vale bearer notes of
Titania due January 3,'1973 will be replaced by sub ordinated bearer notes of Cabot. The terms of the new arrangement provide for repayments beginning January 3. 1973 measured by the Company s purchases of tita nium dioxide from Titania. Repayment is also contin
gent upon Cabot continuing to control and operate the titanium dioxide plant of Titania. As of December 31. 1966. the Company provided a reserve of S4.800.000 against its bearer notes receivable.
NOTE J-PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: On Octo ber 1. 1963 the Company entered into an agreement with
the City of Annapolis, Missouri to lease, for a period of twenty years ending on September 30. 1983. a roofing granule plant located in Annapolis. The City raised the funds for construction of this facility through the issu ance of 20-year Industrial Revenue Bonds, with inter est rates of 3"'..r'< to 414ri. The bonds mature in annual instalments from 1966 through 1983. Construction of the plant was completed in September 1965
Annual rentals under the lease are approximately $385,000, plus certain other costs and expenses. The
lease is noncancellable and is renewable, at the Com pany's option, for fifteen five-year periods at reduced rentals. The Company has an option to purchase the plant and property at any time after August 1. 1973 for an amount sufficient to redeem all outstanding industrial Revenue Bonds.
The Company has treated this transaction as an in stalment purchase of the facilities and has recorded the property, plant and equipment so acquired at the amount of the related liability for the Industrial Revenue Bonds. The portion of this indebtedness due in 1967. amount ing to S200.000, has been included in current liabilities in the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position at December 31, 1966.
