 the Albany Cultivator, it will be seen that I have had the exclu-

Pure Wlilte Lead. 



THE Rochester White Lead Manufacturing Company bog to 

 offer their brands of pubf lv.av to the attention ofagricultu- 

 ripts and horticulturists, for painting permanent structures of 

 every descrijition. 



This article has been thoroughly tested by the best judges in 

 this city, and pronounced a genuine article. Persons desiring to 

 test -the purity of the lead, may have it analyzed by a chemist ; 

 and if in any caflc it should be found impuro, we will pay th- pric 

 of analyzing it, and refund the money for the lead. 



Be particular about the brand : 'Moulson's, 36 Front street. 

 Rochester," is marked on every ktg. Purchasers of lead have 

 occas^ionally been deceived in buying lead branded as Rochester 

 lead. Mark.ujc are the only manufacturers of lead here. There is, 

 however, a large quantity of lead " fixed over" here. Neverthe- 

 less, we wish our lead not to be confounded with that or any other, 

 and therefore desire all consumers to give us a trial.
