The American Building has recently
been reprinted with the liquid enamel paint,
manufactured by the New Jersey Enamel
Paint Company, of which Mr.. @. +. Knight,
No. 03 West Lombard street, is the agent,
and presents highly attractive appearance
This satisfactory result Is largely due To the
peculiarly valuable properties IF the paint,
nearly all the large buildings in this city,
including the Sun iron building, the Carroll
ton Hotel, Mansion House Hotel, Trinity M.
Il Church South, Armstrong, Gator g. Co.'S
store and the Boys Home. The american
building was given coat of the paint in
1875, and the result was all that could be de-
sired. For economy, beauty and durability,
II evidently has no superior; and the gen
eral appearance after years of exposure is
almost as clear and attractive as when IL is
first applied. The sales Of the paint through
out the entire South have Of late largely in
creased, which Is the best guarantee Of It's
valuable qualities. In Baltimore it has for
some years been In general use among paint.
ers, who find that II IL easy 10 apply, covers
greater surface than the ordinary article
and, besides, has the great quality Of cheap
ness. In all classes Of work Inside and
out) the paint Is, without doubt, highly de.
sirable, the admirable gloss remaining for
years, no matter where or on what surface II
Is applied. Mr.. Knight, the general agent,
has during the past few years built up
business in this and other Southern States
for the paint which Is credit alike 10 the
city's business reputation and the merits of
the article offered. To dealers who are com.
enamel paint offers peculiar advantages, as
1t will keep any length OF time, and Is o.
ways ready for use. In glancing over the
agents circulars one Is struck with the large
number Of prominent merchants Of this city
and elsewhere who, contrary 10 their gem
ersl rule, have furnished written certificates
expressing their unqualified satisfaction with
the compound as applied 10 their buildings
Sample cards Of this celebrated paint may
be had on application at the agents Office,
