NAILS OF ALUMINIUM
A New Material That Is CheapeE
Than Copper and Not Affected
by the Weather.

After many unsuccessful experiments
and trials an alloy of aluminium has been
made with which nails, staples and taeas
can be made to compete with coppez.
Among other advantages claimed Tor tbs
new material is that it is not affected By
the weather, and will not deteriorate, 40
in laying roofs, lining tanks, etc. As the
alloy is non-corrosive and nom poisonous.
the new nails ought to find favor among
makers Of refrigerators and other articles
used for food storage. When the differ
ence in point OF number and weight -
taken into consideration, 1T is seen that
aluminium nails are about cents pound
cheaper than copper nails. 1t is not IN
tended to put them in competition with
ordinary steel nails.

the most important citizens. Many Of the
bricks were used In other buildings after
the decadence Of jamestown, and even

1t Is with pleasure that we call the
attention Of the trade. and private fam.
lilies, to the fact that owing to the In.
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter Of undoubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now b0ttling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re.
suited In an inquiry for an article OF
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything Of harmful or deleteri.
GUS nature, and at price that would
commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods ut q high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
Oh the market bottled ale aud porter
unexcelled In quality, equal in every
respect to the imported, at Q much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the hest
hops In the market, no substitutes

guaranty Of their purity and quality.
