ties. Our paint thoroughly penetrateS the exposed
parts ut he shingles and still leaves thick glossy
coating on the surface; thus forming perfectly
water 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 incombustible nature, il gives
practically ireprnof roof and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building

of &. Ii. Marshall and Dr. Smith. We should he
pleased I" have all that can cal and fully examine
our paint, We have an article that is worthy of
their careful consideration at least. This is 10
spurious or iancful invention but a genuine al ii
Gle hose qualities have already been fully tested
and its merits proved by years OF actual trial
We have testimonials from nearly all parts OF
New England but can add but few below ac-
count of space.
