amount Of outside coating will preserve
timber that contains the active germs
of fermentation within. and the object
is first. to prevent the beginning of fer

is effected by the Spirittine, (which kills
the germs of fermentation without rem

road. and other railroads throughout
the United States and Europe are using
i, with entire satisfaction. Numerous
leading car builders and ship builders
throughout the world, as well as archi-
tccts and contractors, have found that
Slirittine gives perfect satisfaction. Bfs
This wood prcSeryeF is being used
from the Pacific to the Atlantic. and nOe
Il single complaint has ever been made
against it, hut on the contrary only
words of praise have ever been used in
connection with it. Its merits and
cheapness have been established beyond
all question. 1t was given the high-

Mr.. Hanson, the manager, believes
that the pine distilling business Is yet
in its infancy and if BRAINS and energy
were only turned in this direction there
is no estimate Of the extent to which
the business could be developed. His
own almost phenomenal success is an
evidence Of this fact 1t is to such en-
terprises as these that the South must
look for its future development. 1t is
rich i'll resources, but they are unde-
veloped. After thorough test Mr..
Hason is convinced that the pine tim
barof North Carolina, owing to some
peculiarities Of it's texture, is better
adaptedito his purpose than is the pine
timber grown i'll any other section The
writer of this article after thorough
investigation is glad to proclaim to the
world what energy, industry and perse-
yerance will accomplish, as is exemplified
in Mr. l.. Hason, the manager of the
Spirittine Chemical Company and
wishes him the greatest success fer the
future
