SIR: series Of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation OF timber, have led me
10 the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufaciuredby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
ravages OF the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this mpor-
tant subject 10 the Bureaus of Yards and Docks al
Washington, and shall send with il complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
We're covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alik, or an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this u Wy yard; all
of which illustrates, in the moststf St:g manner
the invaluable qualities and decidea iperiory OF
your White Zine Paint over all Ter kinds
paints especially for marine purposes
You are al liberty 10 give full PUB city TO the
above stated facts, which are Of too much impor
lance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. | am, respectfully, your obedleni servant,
