 standard red-oxide paint. The saving is 

 even greater today.

Carbosota Creosote 

 Oil is the universal wood 

 preservative for non- 

 pressure treatments. It 

 is a standardized, pure 

 coal-tar creosote oil, 

 highly refined and speci- 

 ally processed, to make 

 it physically fit for this purpose. 



(Green wood cannot be effectively creosoted 

 by non-pressure processes. It should be air-dry. 

 In regions of moist, warm climate, wood of some 

 species may start to decay before it can be air- 

 dried. Exceptions should be made in such cases 

 and treatment modified accordingly.)
