Faint Oil. 



THE subscribers, in again advertisingr their Prepared 

 Paint Oil, respeclfuUy solicit notice to the following cer- 

 tificates. 



Dorchester, Sept. 1, 1S32. 



This is to certify, that I painted my house in Dorches- 

 ter, white, in June last, with Downer &. Au^tio's Paint 

 Oil. It dried well, with a f;ood gloss, and there is every 

 indication that it will be a very lasting coat ; it paints a 

 very clear white, and will go farther, or cover more sur- 

 face, than an equal quantity of Linseed Oil. 



THOIMAS IMOSEI.EY. 

 Dorchester, Sept. 5, 1S32. 



This is to certify, that I, the subscriber, painted my 

 house and out buildings white, in May last, with Messis 

 Downer & Austin's Prepared Paint Oil ; said Oil has 

 proved perfectly satisfactory. I shall give it the prefer- 

 ence to any Oil I have ever user!, lor any future outside 

 painting: have not used it in-doors. 



JOSHUA GARDNER. 



This is to certify, that I had my house painted with 



Downer &. Austin's Paint Oil, in March last, and ground 



part of the lead in the same oil, and found it to dry well, 



with a good gloss, and up to this date there i.s no change, 



DANIEL CHaNDLKR. 



Lexington, Sept. 2, 1832. 



This is to certify, that I used Messrs Downer and Aus- 

 tin's Paint Oil, for painting several of my buildings, sit- 

 uated in Dorchester, in June last, and found it to dry 

 well, with a tough coat and good gloss, which still con- 

 tinues, and I am decidedly of opinion that it will be very 

 durable. I have observed that it will spread over a great 

 deal more surface than an equal quantity of Linseed Oil. 

 BEN'J. B.LEEDS. 



This may certify, that I have used Messrs Downer & 

 Austin's Prepared Paint Oil, and am well satisfied with 

 its use, finding it to dry well, give a good body and gloss, 

 and I hive no doubt of its durability. 



Boston, Sept. 1, 1832. J. R. NEWELL. 



Dorchester, Sept. 2, 1832. 



This is to certify, that 1 had my dwelling house and 

 ont buildings, in Dorchester, painted white in May last, 

 with Downer & Austin's Paint Oil, and found it to dry 

 well, bearing out a great gloss and forming a firm coat; 

 the gloss still remains undinnnishcd, and there is no ap- 

 pearance of any change. I like it better than any oil I 

 ever before used, and have no.doubt it will he \'ery du- 

 rable. JOHN FOX. 



I have used Downer & Austin's Prepared Paint Oil on 

 my seed house and cottage in^this town, and find it dries 

 with a fine tougli coat, and moi-e gloss than Linseed oil. 

 For outside painting, it is much more durable, as a given 

 quantity will cover more surface, or ililute a greater 

 quantity of lead llian Linseed oil, and it possesses more 

 body, as its firm coat and ' real gloss plainly indicate. 



Lancaster, Sept. 14, 1632. J. B. RUSSELL. 



Numerous other certificates could be procured att«»st- 

 ing to the strengih and superiority of this Oil for outside 

 painting, but the above are deemed suffiL-ient. At the 

 Oil Factory can be seen a list of buildings in this city 

 and neighboring towns, painted with the prepared Oil, 

 any of which can be readily designated by the unusual 

 gloss. One of the undersigned, (S. Downer) had his 

 house, out buildings and fences painted white in March 

 last, and up lo this date there is no appearance of change, 

 and the gloss has not in the least diminished, clearly de- 

 noting the strength of the 0:1, and promising great du- 

 rability. This Oil is found to cover about 25 per cent 

 more surface than an equal quantity of Linseed Oil, in- 

 dependent of being 25 per cent cheaper in the price ; 

 as a coi roboration ot this fact, house No. 24 Atliinson 

 street was painted two coats with only 7 gallons and 3 

 quarts— the house had not been painted for seventeen 

 yeai'S, and now has a good gloss, it will also paint a 

 much clearer, better white, as the Oil is very ligiit, and 

 does not color the lead in using. 



Farther details and facts, showing the increasing de- 

 mand, will be given on application at the Oil Factory, 

 head of Foster's wharf. DOWNER & AUSTIN.
