CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE

INVENTION.
MO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors,
Builders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also
loShippers. THE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to gLiss). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more
durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic
qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon .as soon
as dry, as it is impossible tkat it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most
important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sole agents, at
whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every information afforded.
