SIR A series of experiments conducted by me,
with .he 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 Lnc
Paint, uanufacturedb the New Jersey Zine 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 elect.
am now preparing full report on tins lmpor-
tan 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 70 The
above stated facts, which of too much mpor-
tance 10 be kept from the naval and commercial
world. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

orignators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
tho same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsleck % Co., In

being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
