We would respectfully invite attention to the
above paint, which are introducing in st.
JOhnsbnry and vicinity. This claim is the most
perfect roofing paint ever invented, it fully com
bines durability, beauty and preservatiYe quail
ties. Our paint thoroughly Penetrates the exposed
parts of the shingles and still leaves thick glossy
coating on the surface: thus forming perfectly
water proof covering which, by excluding the
moisture from the roof not only prevents all leak
age but preserves the shingles almost indefinitely
Moreover, from its incombustible nature 1t gives
practically ireproOf Roof and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building
Samples of this paint can be seen on Mr.. Bailey's
buildings at South Park and also on the buildings
of C.. II. Marshall and DIR. Smith We should be
pleased to have all that can, call and fully examine
paint, as we have article that is worthy of
their careful consideration ut least This is no
spurious fanciful invention, but genuine aIti-
cle whose qualities have already been fully tested
aud its 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.
