1 blister, and hardens by exposure, thus making in
time an enamel OF stone protecting wood from decay,
and iron and other metals from rust and corroson.

ored. and are entirely wor HESS.
Silvers Plastic Paints are purely metallic containing
alum in or clay
They are leyiga'ed finely. mix readily with Linse4d
brush freely the best white lead
These Paints excel all others body or covering pro-
peities, pound of which will cover IA much snroce
as two pounds of white lead.
There are four natural colors, viz Black or Slate,
Brswn, Olive and Chocolate.
DIREcTIoNs-Ths Paint flows readily under the
orus and Its covering property is increased by using
mixed as thIcky possible with pure Linseed OIL as
the amt is the lasting or protecting body and the Oil
simply the medium or agentin spreading it.

Dear Sir-You ask me for my opinion Of Silyer's Min.
eIdi AIMS, Wncn you nave put on my Machine Shop
and Pianing Mil. give you with pleasure 1yf, II and
hearty recommendation OF it as a preventive of Fire
communicating from chimneys from adjoining build
ings The Paint which you put on my roofs has now
become as hard as slate, and feel secure from fire
IN TINS direction, as Is possible few weeks after the
roofs mad been painted, made an experiment.. two
or tnree shingles bY placing them in the furnace under
me po'ers the result was that the portion uncovered
was entirely consumed while the painted part was APP
was found to be charred the Paint however was firm
and but little blisered consider this as severe test
as your Paint can be put to. and under the crcum
sanses do not hesitate to commend il az an lnvalua
Bile preventive against Fire.
