We would respectfully invite attention to the
above paint, which we are now introducing In St
Johnsbury and vicinity. This we claim is the most
perfect roofing paint ever invented. as II fully com
bines durability beauty and preventative quail
ties. Our paint thoroughly penetratas the exposed
parts of the shingles, and still leaves thick glossy
coating the surface; thus forming perfectly
water-p proof covering. which, by excluding the
moisture from the root, not only prevents all leak
age but preserves the shingles almost indefinitely
Moreover. from its incOmbustbe nature, IT gives Il
practically tre-proof Roof and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building.
Samples Of this paint can be seen on MIR. Bailey :
buildings at South Park, and also on the buildings
OF c. H Marshall and DIR. Smith. We should he
pleased to have all that can, call and fully examine
our paint. a. have article that is worthy of
spurious famciful invention. but a genuine al ii
Gle whose qualities have already been fully tested
and its merits proved by years at actual trial.
We have testimonials from nearly all parts of
New England but can add hut few below on ac-
count of space.
