san Francisco. Gents: My residence painted with Ayeril
Paint two years ago, is, 10 all appearance, in as good condi.
ton now as when first applied, and the Paint has proved sat

ing an economical and durable paint. Yours truly.
Olympia. W. T., January 10, 1878. Gents 1 TAX srsd;
pleasure in stating that 1 painted my dwelling house with tMe
AUeriH Paint, and am highly pleased with f. The paint re-.
on the shore Of the Bay, where the full force Of the southwest
winds and rains strikes it, aud heretofore the paint used lend
and OLD would not stand il. 1 am fairly convinced that your
paint will do all that you claim for ii, and cordially RECON-
mend it to any one that wishes to paint anything, from dwell.
come under my observation, that the Averile Paint has been
used, it has given entire satisfaction Yours truly

iornia Paint Co, Gents In reply 20 your inquiry as TO my
opinion Of the respective merits Of the Averil Mixed Paint and
the Rubber Paint, I would state that / have given them. as 1
consider, a fair test. In june, 1870 1 received from the CiviI
Engineers Office, some Of the Averill Mixed Paint aud some
of the Rubber Paint.
1 put both paints side by side uhree coats eaeh) on some out
side stucco work, and on examination on sept. 10, 1877. 1 find
Averille Mixed Paint retains lis gloss and is a great deal har-
der, and my opinion Is decidediy in favor OF the Averill Paint.

PIacerviIe, October 7, 1875. California Paint Co. dents,
In reply TO your letter / have 60 state that for more than six
years 1 have dealt In and used your Paint. | have during
that time carefully observed It's application and use, and from
practical knowledge can certify 20 it's unriyaled excellence.
During my six years acquaintance with 1t, there has not come
TO my knowledge a single instance Of a failure I'm any case
where It has been used. All 10 whom I have supplied IL
in commencing IT for ITS superior claims over all other
Paints now in use The Ayerll Paint externally used, or, in
other words, exposed 20 the action Of the weather, neither
Oh. nor changes color, as do other Paints, and will retain
t. freshness and adhesive property for years. Pure Lead aud
Oil will in a short time become dry, and are easily rubbed OH
he loss Of oil leaves the lead in a dry, oxidized state. Asa
matter Of economy the claims Of the Ayeril Mixed Paint 20
popular appreciation ana general use are beyond question.
4 house properly painted with II once will be better preserved,
md present a neater appearance az the expiration Of seven
,ears, than IL would II twice coated with Lead and OH Paints
n use. 80 well assured and convinced am I Of hs established
light 10 this distinction over all kinds. that had I fifty houses
my own to be painted, the "AveriI," alone should be my
Eoice and be used. Yours, very truly,
