One of their factories is in Joplin. Another is in Dallas. Call around
to shingle suppliers, someone will have a few bundles left over, and
they'll probably sell them at a discount since that line is
discontinued. Otherwise, find a shingle that comes close to matching
in order to finish the job. If all the needed shingles are just for
one plane of the roof, you won't notice the difference. If they are on
the same plane, then you will.
Good luck.
