PAINT OIL,. 



THE subscribers keep on hand a constant supply of their 

 ■'' prepared Painl Oil" which they offer for sale (with some 

 further improvements, adapting it for use in cold weather as 

 well as warm) with renewed assurance of its merit, having stood 

 through the last summer and winter without change, and almost 

 without a diminution of gloss. This Oil, independent of being 

 25 per cent, cheaper, wtII actually cover a quarter more surface 

 than Linseed Oil, as has been repeatedly proved, and confirm- 

 ed by statements of many painters. Upwards of fi(\y buildings 

 in this city and vicinity, can be referred to painted last year 

 with this Oil, and most of them (where painted with two coats) 

 still retain their gloss, which is a clear demonstration of its 

 strength. The prepared Oil, is found to answer a good pur- 

 pose to mix with Linseed Oil, giving it strength, and durability 

 with a more permanent gloss. It is found also to paint a very 

 clear white ; being light colored, it does not give any coloring 

 or yellow tinge to the lead in mixing. Oil factorv, head of 

 Foster's wharT. DOWNER &. AUSTIN 



N. B. The above Oil, and all other Oils, sold from the Oil 

 Factory, which shall not prove as represented, can be returned, 

 and the cartage will he paid. 3t in27
