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-
tons for the preservation OF timber, have led me
10 the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves a perfect protection against the
ravsges of the marine worm, and the formation OF
baruacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with il complete se-
ries of specimens Of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parstions, and then exposed alike for 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 st liberty 10 give full publicity TO the
above stated facts, which are Of too much mpor-
tance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
