ARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
ki PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French, Rus-
sian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East India Company,
the New River Company, the principal Dock Companies, and
other Public Bodies.

The ANTI-CORROSION- PAINT has been used by the Hon.
Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who have
proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on Iron longer and bet-
ter than the very best White Lead, or any other descr►pt►on of
Paint ; and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable
quality, all the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both for land
and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period.
It has always been used in great quantities by other public
bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction,
to preserve Wooden Houses, Farm and other Outbuildings,
Conservatories, Park Paling, Gates, Iron Railing, Iron Hurdles,
Copper, Zinc, Lead, old Compo, &c., Fronts and Tiles to re-
present Slating. It will be found a very supe►ior preservative
of Iron Steam Boats, iron Bridges, Piers, or any other exten-
sive Iron Works. _ _ _

- This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay of
old stone or brick Mansions, Churches, or other Public Edi-
fices requiring an effectual defence against the elements. It is
particularly recommended to West India and other Colonial
Proprietors, Emigrants, and all nersons connected with the
Colonies, who will find it to stand all climates better than any
other Paint. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to any
other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact that its
use has always been most strenuously opposed by Colour Ma-
nufacturers, and others interested in the sale of Common Paint.
Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their
Outbuildings, &c. properly preserved, will effect a very consi-
derable saving by desiring their Stewards to order the Anti-
Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby saving
the enormous charges generally made by painters.
The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length
of time. Colors : White stone, light stone, drab, or Portland
stone, Bath stone, light and dark yellow stone, light and dark
oak, brown, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate,
bright and dark red, copper, and black, 345. per cwt.; invisible
green, 505., bright green, 605., deep green, 605., and blue (for
carts and wagons), 60s. per cwt. ; in casks 281b5., 561b5.,
1121os. each, and upwards.—Large tied Brushes, 3s. 6d.; small
tied Ditto, 2s. 6d. ; and Sash Tools, Is. fid. each.
OIL and TURPENTINE, at PER GALLON.
One cwt. Casks, Is. 6d. ; half and quarter cwt. Ditto, Is,
each. Same allowed for returned empty Oil Packages, as
charged, viz , Is. per gallon.
The expense
of the Colours, at 345. per cwt., when the weight
of the Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb; and those at 605.,
about 6d. per lb.
The Original Anti-Corrosion Paint is only to be obtained of
WALTER CARSON AND SON,
(Successors to the Inventors,) No. 9, GREAT WINCHESTER-
STREET, OLD BROAD-STREET, NEAR THE ROYAL
EXCHANGE, LONDON, who will show between 500 and 600
most flattering Testimonials received from the Nobility, Gen-
try, and other Influential Persons, who have used the Anti-
Corrosion for many years.
No Agents.—All orders are particularly requested to be sent
direct.
