We would respectfully invite attention to the
above paint which are now Introducing in st
JOhnsbury and vicinity. This claim is the most
perfect roofing paint ever invented as it fully com
bines durability, beauty and preventative quail
ties. Our paint thoroughly penetrates the exposed
parts of the shingles and still leaves thick glossy
coating the surface; thus forming perfectly
waterproof 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, it gives
practically ireproof roof and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building.
Samples of this paint can be seen on Mr.. Bailey
buildings at South Park and also the buildings
pleased To have all that cal and fully examine
our paint, we have article that is worthy OF
their careful consideration at least. This is nO
spurious or fancIful invention. but genuine att
Gle whose qualities have already been fully tested
and It's merits proved by years OF actual trial.
We have testimonials from nearly all parts OF
New England but can add but few below on ac
count of space
