GtrrTiV PERCHA TVBnrc 

 FOR "WjIVTSRXN-C ajLit- 

 HHNS, ETC. 



'THE GUTTA PERCHA COM- 



.1 PANY have been favoured with the re- 

 ceipt of the following Testimonials : 



From MR. .7. FARRAH, Gardener to BOS- 

 WElvL MIDDLETON JAIiLAND, ESQ., 

 of Holdentess House, near Hull. 



" I have had 400 feet of your Gutta Percha 

 Tubing (in lengths of 100 feet each, with Union 

 Joint) in use for the last twelve months for 

 watering these gardens, and I find it to answer 

 better than anything I have ever yet tried. 



" The pressure of the water is very consider- 

 able, but this has not the slightest effect on 

 the Tubing. 



" I consider this Tubing to be a most valu- 

 able invention for Gardeners, inasmuch as it 

 enables us to water our gardens in about one- 

 half t;iie time, and with one-half the labour for- 

 merly required." 



From J. H. ECCLES, ESQ., Surgeon, 

 I'll/mouth. 



"The Tubing I have found most conve- 

 nient in watering my garden, and doubt not 

 that it may be substituted for lead pipes in 

 most instances with great advantage, as well 

 on account of its remaining unchanged by the 

 action of acids, &c., as hy its power of remain- 

 ing uninjured by the action of intense cold." 



Vol. XI No. 289. 



Gutta Percba Tubing; for 

 Spreading: Xiiquid Manure. 



From JAMES KENNEDY, ESQ., MyremiU, 

 by Maybole, A yrshire. 



" I have received your inquiry as to my ex- 

 perience in the use of Gutta Percha Tubing. I 

 had 350 yards of it from your firm, and I have 

 used it for the last few months in distributing 

 liquid manure from my tanks over my fields, 

 having often a pressure of 300 feet on it, and 

 have been able to get the liquid from the end of 

 the Tubing by the pressure from the steam- 

 engine upwards of forty yards. I have 350 

 Scotch acres laid with metal pipes under 

 ground, for the conveyance of liquid manures 

 over my farm, and your Gutta Percha Tubing 

 has given me great facility in spreading it over 

 the surface of the land. I likewise think 

 highly of the Gutta Percha Union Joint."

 TENTEES, 18. Wharf Road, City Road, 

 London. 



And sold by their Wholesale Dealers in Town 

 and Country. 



Durability of Gutta Percba 

 Tubing:. 



Many inquiries having been made as to the 

 durability of Gutta Percha Tubing, the Gutta 

 Percha Company have much pleasure in giving 

 publicity to the following letters from parties 

 who have had it in use for a considerable length 

 of time : 



From SIR RAYMOND JARVIS, Ventnor, 

 Isle of Wight. 



(Second Testimonial. 1 



" In reply to your letter received this morn- 

 ing, respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for 

 pump service, I can state, with much satisfac- 

 tion, it answers perfectly. Many builders and 

 other persons have lately examined it, and 

 there is not the least apparent difl!erence since 

 the first laying down, now several years. I am 

 informed that it is to be adopted generally in 

 the new houses that are being erected here." 



From this testimonial it will be seen that 

 the corrosive water of the Isle of Wight does 

 not aifect Gutta Percha Tubing. 



From C. HACKER. ESQ., Surveyor to HTS 

 GRACE THE DUKE OF BEDFORD, 

 Wolium Park. 



(Second Testimonial.') 

 " Gentlemen, — In answer to your inquiries 

 respecting the Gutta Percha Tubing for pump 

 suction. I find that the water haj not alFected 

 it in the least, although it will eat lead through 

 in two years. We have adopted it largely, 

 being cheaper than lead, much easier fixed, 

 and a more perfect job."
