Certifcate Of John F. Miller, Of AHakopas.
In July last was induced to apply the Bridge
water mineral Paint to my Sugar-House, and in
every respect it has exceeded my expectations,
and the representations made by the Agents,
Messrs. G. C. Robert Il Co. | cheerfully add
my testimony to the numerous ones embraced
in the Agents circular, and recommend the
same to planters and others, as the best fire and
water protector have ever known. Where
have applied it, it has been exposed to the sun
since last July, and has neither hEstered nor
cracked, and has formed a solid metallic surface,
which has proved entirely impervnus.
