Caution Use as Directed 



THE experience of a 

 century, in both Eur- 

 ope and America, has 

 definitely established the 

 fact that coal-tar creosote 

 oil is the most effective 

 wood preservative known. 



But creosote is not a 

 "cure-all," nor is it "fool-proof." 



Its effectiveness depends upon the er - 

 ployment of proper grades of oil and proper 

 methods of application. Otherwise, fail- 

 ures like those shown in the accompanying 

 illustrations are very apt to result. 



For all non-pressure processes, Carbo- 

 sota Creosote Oil is the universal standard, 

 and when properly used, is thoroughly 

 dependable. 



Where the Open Tank treatment is 

 employed the following rules must be 

 strictly adhered to if satisfactory results 

 are to be obtained : 



i. Timber must be seasoned. 



2. Timber should be com- 

 pletely framed, cut to fit in 

 place, and all bolt holes drilled 

 before treatment. 



3. If framing and fitting are 

 necessary after treatment, caus- 

 ing the exposure of untreated 

 surfaces, all abrasions must re- 

 ceive at least two brush coats of Carbosota 

 before the parts are finally assembled. 



Because of its absolute physical fitness 

 and perfect uniformity, Carbosota is un- 

 equalled for both Open Tank and Surface 

 treatments. One of its special advantages 

 is its low liquid point (41 F.) which means 

 it can be used unheated in the field when 

 the atmospheric temperature is not below 

 41. 



In order to insure the proper application 

 of Carbosota and maximum benefits to 

 users, we maintain a technical service, 

 prepared to give special specifications and 

 to make personal surveys when desired. 

 This service is free and is available to both 

 large and small users of lumber.
