We would respectfully invite attention to the
above paint, which are introducing in St
JOhnsbury and vicinity. This claim is the most
perfect roofing paint ever invented, it fully
hines durability, beauty aud preventative 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 root, not only prevents all leak
age but preserves the shingles almost indefinitely
Moreover from its incombustible nature, it gives
practically fre-proof rsof and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building
Samples of this paint can be on Mr.. Bailey's
buildings ut 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
our paint, we have an article that is worthy of
their careful consideration at least This is
spurious or fancifu invention but a genuine az ii
Gle whose 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 on
count of space.
