RECOMMENDATIONS.

u. s. NAVY YARD, GosPoRT, Va,
January 20, 1854.
TO C. E. Detmold, President ". J. Zinc Co., ~ y.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
lions for the preservation of timber, have led me
TO the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no other paint preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, al
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anG metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates. in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty to give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. | am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES JARVIS,
Insnector u s NAVY Yard. Gosport Va.
