BLAKE'S PATENT
ROOFING PAINT.

We would respectfully invite attention to the
above paint, which we are now introducing in st.
JOhnsbury and vicinity. This claim is the most
perfect roofing paint ever invented it fully
Dimes durability, beauty and preservati We quail
ties. Our paint thoroughly penetrates the exposed
parts of the shingles and still leaves thick glossy
coating the surface; thus forming a perfectly
waterproof 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 it gives
practically freproof roof and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building.
Samples of this paint can be on Mr.. Bailey 3
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
our paint, we have article that is worthy of
their careful consideration at least. This is no
spurious or fanciful invention but genuine a1ti-
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 ac-
count of space.

Mead Blake & CO.-Gentlemen: The paint which
you placed on my buildings three years ago is, to
all appearances, good as ever. At the time that
they painted, the shingles were in very poor
condition. the roof leaking badly but since then
they have been perfectly waterproof. | have al
ready been well repaid for the expense OF painting
them, and there is yet good prospect OF their last
ing for many years more.
