MR. S. {. HILL-Sir: The facts within my knowledge
| OF the durability, DC, of Vests Galvanic Cement, are
these: Fourteen years ago last July, | had Mr.. West 10
repair the roof OF my bnek HOUSE with his Galyanic
CeRfBt. had Tor a long time been troubled with It's
leaking about the chimney and scuttle, and had tried
various ways 70 remedy 1t, but without success. Mr.
West applied his Cement and completely remedied the
defecIs, so tbstit has never leaked since, and 1, all ap
pesrsnces, the work l. SC perfect to day as the day 10
was put on. After Mr.. West got through with the job,
there was a small quantity OF the Cement lel in a dish
which 1 threw out On the wster-stone which conveys
the water from the spout across the slde-walk; / have
lately examined il with q ham er aud find IL a. hard as
the stone itself. Ii lie where auy person can zee 4 who
has the desire to do so. have 10 hesitation in saying,
that 1 deem the Galyanlc Cement perfectly fire and wa
~ter-proof. c. IL. USENBENTZ.
We concur with the above certificates, believing
Vests Galyanic Cement Roofing TO be the most eco
nomicsl and best roof of the age.
