ties. Our paint thoroughly penetrates the exposed
parts OF the shingles and still leaves a thick glossy
coating the surface; thus forming a 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 ncombustbe nature, it gives a
practically freprOof 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
of c. II Marshall and DIR. Smith We should be
pleased have all that can. cal and fully examine
our paint, we have an article that Is worthy of
their careful consideration at least. This Is no
spurious or tanciful invention but genuine afti
ce 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 a few below on ac-
count of space.
