AtxJAX BLACK GLAZING CEMENT 



P^ PRACTICAL glazing material made for application in a 

 practical manner. No clumsy, slow working tools necessary — 



simply a putty bulber or two and a filling gun to load them — furnished /ree to users. 



Ajax Black Glazing Cement has been used throughout the country for several years 

 with excellent results. To prospective purchasers we can give names of satisfied users io every green- 

 house center — over a hundred names in Chicago locality alone. 



NOT AFFECTED BY EXTREME HEAT OR COLD 



Our product is a cement-lifce composition of Asbestos Fibres, and heavy, semi-drying hydro-carbon oils. Its 

 exceptionally long life is due to the fact that it never thoroughly hardens like old fashioned white putty. The 

 outside surface (which is exposed to the oxygen of the air) forms a resilient tough siiin, below which the 



material remains soft and plastic. Because of this we guar- 

 antee that the coldest weather will not caiise it to become 

 brittle or pull away. On the other hand our product is war- 

 ranted not to sag or run in extremely hot weather due to its 

 being inter-laced with the Asbestos Fibres. 



As Ajax Black Glazing Cement never thoroughly hard- 

 ens, glass glazed with it can be shifted when desired without 

 the loss of breakage that so often results when hard drying 

 white putties are used. 



LOW COST 



Compared with the old fashioned White Lead putties, 

 Ajax Black Glazing Cement not only lasts years longer, but 

 is a great deal lower in initial cost. 



One gallon is sufficient to glaze 500 lineal feet of sash. 



While primarily made to stop water leaks, so thorouyhly 

 does Ajax Black Glazing Cement hermetically seal up the sash, 

 that it will soon pay for itself in the saving of heat that is other- 

 wise lost through air voids. This fact has been demonstrated 

 time and again, and we can prove it. • 



Easily applied with a bulber. No clumsy tools necessary.
