Wood Preserving Made Easy 



By the Use of an 

 Improved Creosote Oil 



T3AILROADS have adopted creosoted ties; cities recognize creo- 

 "^ soted wood block as the highest type of pavement; the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture urges the wider use of wood preservatives. 

 Yet, creosoted wood, with all its advantages, has generally been out 

 of the reach of ordinary timber users. 



Ordinary crude cresote is all right for "vacuum-pressure treatments" 

 in the large creosoting plants, but its use is practically out of the 

 question in ordinary field work. 



_, Liquid 



Creosote 



It develops greasy crys- 

 tals in the barrels and 

 cans, and also on the sur- 

 face of the woods treated 

 with it, and it contains 

 considerable amounts of 

 water, which cause 

 trouble in application. 

 In fact, its physical properties vary 

 greatly and do not permit of uniform 

 results when handled in any other 

 method than the pressure treatment. 



Accordingly, we have developed a re- 

 fined creosote, especially adapted to 

 use in the field with the simplest appa- 



Grade 



ratus. This special creo- 

 sote is called Barrett's 

 Grade One Liquid Creosote 

 Oil. 



With Grade One Creo- 

 sote, successful creosoting 

 can be done by the lum- 

 ber dealer or by the actual lumber 

 consumer, the farmer, the builder, etc. 

 All that is required is an inexpensive 

 tank large enough to hold the timbers, 

 with provision for heating the oil. 

 Grade One Oil applied with a brush 

 will also give effective results. Timber 

 that has been treated in this manner 

 will have its life doubled or trebled 

 when put in service. 



All kinds of woods that are exposed to 

 dampness should be creosoted. This 

 includes not only fence posts and vine- 

 yard posts and sticks, but sills, base- 

 ment flooring and planking, steps and 

 stoops, wooden sidewalks, greenhouse 

 benches, shingles, silos, etc.
