w thanks to our friends. and the public
generally, for the liberal share of patronage
we have received at their hands for the past
years, and hope. by strict attention and pune.
tuaHty to business, to merit continuance Of
such prtronago
We take this method of informing the pub
lie, that we have, ut great expense, purchas-
ed the right of the "Troviie PATENT cf the
proprietor, John MeIntire, Esq, Of st. Louis,
to be used by us exclusively within the city and
county of Dubuque.
The above patent.right consists of new
and highly important improvement for the
other colors. applicable TO every color; avithout
the use Of alcalies Of any description, whereby a
,ohiter, handsomer. and more durable paint is
produced
The said improvement is now in successful
use in most of the large eastern and southern
cities, and the right has been purchased by the
u S. government for the use Of the Navy De.
partm ent, after having given it most salts
factory and scrutinising trial.
All who are acquainted with the nature of
white lead and oil, know that they have no af-
finity for each other-that, mix them as tho.
roughly us possible, they will separate on
standing few hours, the lead sinking to the
bottom, the oil remaining, clear and pure, on
the top. IF, then, anything can be added to
them, which, without injuring the body OF the
paint. will cause the two to unite, without the
power of afterwards separating, IT MUST BE
MADE MORE DUR ABLE; and such Is the effect of
this wonderful improvement, unsurpassed in
Importance Ivy any discovery of this progress
i've age. All, therefore. DESTROYS Of having
painting done in an elegant and durable man.

their advantage to consult us at ours shop, over

We, the undersigned, hereby certify, that
we have had painting done for US by Bennett
