P. 4 B. PAINT,
The Best Paint for Bridges Roofs,
Iron. etc.
The Most Effective Teredo- Proof
Pile Covering Known.


to roofs, bridges, iroa work, brick work,
ships bottoms, etc, IS sR important one.
Every kind OF paint formerly used for
these purposes was found to be made
QuSte. All ordinary paints contain oil,
and when used on bridges, chains, ships
bottoms, or other surfaces exposed 10
salt water. they rapidly diSintegrate.
| When such paints, are applied 10 roofs
they increase the danger iron fire by
making them more infiammable.
\ paint has been invented which is
the best thing known for the purposes
above mentioned. Ii is known as the
''P. < Is. paint, and IS manufactured
exclusively by the Paraffne Paint Co. Of
San Francisco.
This paint has for its base n mineral
pronounced by chemists 10 be practic-
ally indeStrucnble, and when dry on ex-
posed surfaces, Is more FIRE proof than
So-called iire-prOOf paints. Neither salt
nor fresh water, alkaline, nor acid solu-
tons OF any kind make any impressions
On surfaces coated with this pAint.
IT PRESERVES IRON
AMI other metals from rust, and applied
to clean metal surfaces completely arrests
oxydiz&tiOn. The reason why the 7. < &.
paint makes the best coating for metals
or wood Is, that enc OF its chief ingredl-
entS IS the most volatile liquid known TO
chemistry. This liquid evaporates i'm
nediately after application OF the paint,
and causes the mineral 10 penetrate deep
er into the pores Of the metal, wood,
brick or other substances than anything
else viii. The paint sets quickly, and,
IS soon IS dry, Is ABSOLUTELY TASTELESS
AND ODoRLESS.
1t preserves wood from decay aud the
ravageS OF ants and other land insects,
and the Marine Parasites, the Teredo
and LimnOria For submerged timber,
piles, underground Subways and con-
duits, it Is the greatest preServative ever
used. For wood OF fer brick foundations,
sidewalk stringers, fence posts, ETC., it is
uneqalled and viii not wear off.
RESISTs ACIDS AND ACID FUMES.
For acid, smelling, powder, dyna-
mite, reduction, silver plating and gal
vanizing works this paint has no equal.
Ii Is totally unaffected by acids and acid
fumes, which are so destructive TO ordi-
nary oil paints. 1t has received the
very strongest endorsement from the
Giant Powder Co., the Amalor Reduc-
ton Works and from numerous other
csncerns that have usedit.
As 2. ( B. Paint enters into the pores
of iron and IS unaffected by salt water,
the atmosphere, acid or alkaline solu-
tons, It IS by TAR the best Paint for iron
OF wooden bridges, iron pipes, roofs OF
all kind, etc.
For all these purposes it is practically
without ! rival, which will I'LL the re-
quirements as well.
TEREDo-PRoOF PILE COVERING.
Perhaps the most remarkable success
this compound has met with Is its use IN
the "P. * B." patent teredo and I'm
noria-prOoi pile covering. The enor-
NOUS destruction OF piles by these in
sects and the consequent heavy costs in
replacing them are well known. For
wears numerous inventions have been
tried to prevent their ravages. But the
P. & B. pile covering Is the only thing
On the Pacific Coast that has stood the
test and that viii effectually defeat the
teFedo. 1t IS much more effective than
the ereosote process, while it costs only
two-fifths as much and requires no ex-
pensiye plant.
The P. < B. Pile Covering viii not
chip nor crack. Il always retains Its
elasticity. Salt water has no effect
whatever upon It. Il is the cheapest
because 1t Is the most durable.
p GLDEA, Foreman Pile Driver.
4lr. Huson, civil engineer Of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, after long tests and
comparisons with other pile coverings
has adopted the P. & B. pile covering as
the very best, and Is using 1t on all pile
work for the Northern Pacific. The Har-
Dor Comm Issiouers OF this city have
given three contracts fOr this pile cover
ing this year; the last one being Tor
Jackson street wharf.
"P. AND B." PORTABLE ROOFING.
The portable roofing made by this
company Is claimed 10 be better than TN
or corrugated iron, while its cost Is only
one-half IS much.
II Is entirely different from any other
roofing nov in use, being made Of strong
canvas, thoroughly impregnated with
their compound and lined with heavy
manila paper.

roofs, factories, fOundries, warehouses,
railroad buildings, bridges, car roofs,
steamboat decks, chemical and acid
works, laboratories, residences, farm
houses, barns, etc. 1t is suitable for all
climates, and has been used in all parts
Of this country and South America
sufficient length Of time to warrant them
IN claiming it to be the best and most
economical roofing now in use.
Ii IS all ready for use and can be laid
