.CARSON'S • ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other
Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the principal
Dock Companies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly
recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manu-
facturers, West India Proprietors, and others, it having been
proved by the practical test of nearly sixty years to surpass all
other Paints as an out--door preservative. It is extensively
used for the preservation of wooden houses, farm and other
out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories ; park pa-
ling ; gates, iron rani,. iron hurdles copper, zinc, lead, brick,
atone, old

ine superiolity of.the Anti:-Corrosion over.every other
Paint for out-door purposes may be easily inferred from the
simple fact that its use has been always most strenuously op-
posed by colour manufacturers, painters, oil and colourmen,
and others interested in the sale of common Paints. It is also
very economical any labourer being able to lay it on. Colours
—light stone, drab or Portland ditto, Bath ditto, light and dark
yellow ditto, light and dark oak, light and dark lead, light and
dark chocolate, bright and dark red, and black, 345. per cwt. ;
invisible green, 508.; bright ditto, 61s. : deep green, 60s. per
cwt. ;in casks, 281 b., 561 b., and 1121 b. each. Oil and Brushes.
More detailed particulars will be sent, free of postage. The

TER CARSON (Successor to the Inventors) .15, Tokenhouse-
yard, back of the Bank of England, London, who will show
nearly 300 Testimonials received from the Nobility, Gentry,
and Clergy, who have used the Anti-Corrosion for many years
at their country seats. W. C. is reluctantly compelled to cau-
tion the public arainst the spurious imitations of his Original
Anti-Corrosion Paint now offered for sale. He has no agents

rect.
