JOHN STAPLETON, Secretary.
Plymouth Lines, May 90, 1907.'
This Is to certify, that by *vcer ofbeneral Merest. at the
desire of Messrs. M'Adam and Co. we made experiment!
with their preparation of Mineral Brown Paint In April and
September, 1806. Thp situation of the wood and iron
work made use. of in this experiment 'is very high, and en-
tirely exposed to the Wind from the Channel, where it is
difficulty to find any coating able to resist the weather. The
Paint, after having stood the Winter in the above situation,
has formed a very hard and compact body on both wood and
iron work : the wood when cut is hard ansi very dry ; the
iron free from every appearance of rust. From the present
appearance or the Mineral Brown Paint, its hard, solid, and
impenetrable state, there is every reason to belive that it
will defend the wood and iron work for years against the
effect of sveather and the moisture of the atmosphere ; and
we give it as our opinion, that it is a useful costing for
wood end ircn work exposed to the weather or to danp,
and consider it to be cheaper than any other that can be pro-
eared.

We hereby certify thatllessrs.M'Adans and Co.'s Mine-
vat Drown Paint has remit:used in general use in this
Department, for all kinds of fences, since the dale of the i
above certificate of May 26, 1807 ; that it has also latterly
bent used on sentry boxes, travelling magazines, side arm
racks, carts, and other trood work exposed to the weather,
with every probability of success: we, therefore, after
nearly eight years additional experience, have no htsita-
lion in confirming that certificate, as to the general good
qualities of the Paint in question, for the presentation of
wood and iron work. _ -
