above paint which now introducing in st
JOhnsbury and vicinity. This we claim is the most
perfect roofing paint invented, it fully com
bines durability, beauty aud preservative quail
ties Our paint thoroughly penetrates the exposed
parts of the shingles and still leaves a thick glossy
coating on the surface: thus forming a perfectly
water proof covering, which, bv excluding the
moisture from the root, DOT only prevents all leak
age but preserves the shingles almost indefinitely
Moreover from It's inCOmbustble nature, it gives
practically hreproof roof and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building
Samples of this paint can be on Mr.. Bailey =
buildings 1T South Park aud also on the buildings
of c. II. Marshall and DR. SMITH. We should be
pleased To have all that can CAL and fully examine
our paint, a. we have article that is worthy of

spurious fancful invention. but a genuine al ii
Gle whose qualities have already been fully tested
and its merits proved by years ot actual trial
We have testimonials from nearly all parts vi
New England but can add but a few below on ac-
count of space.
