PROTECT YOUR BUILDINGS. 



Which may he done with one-fourth the usual ex- 

 pense, bg using our 



Patent Slate Paint. 



(Fifteen Years Established.) 

 MIXED READY FOR USE. 

 Fire-proof, Water-proof, Durable, Eco- 

 nomical ana Ornamental. 



A roof may be covered with a very cheap shingle, 

 and by application of this slate made to last from 20 

 to 25 years. Old roofs can be patched and coated, 

 looking much better, and lasting longer than new 

 shingles without the slate, for 



One-third the Cost of Re-shingling. 



The expense of slating new shingles is only about 

 the cost of simply laying them. The paint is fire- 

 pj«oop against sparks or flying embers, as may be 

 easily tested by anyone. 



It Stops Every Leak, 



and for tin or iron has no equal, as it expands by 

 heat, contracts by cold, never cracks nor scales. 

 Roots covered with Tar Sheathing Felt can he made 

 water-tight at a small expense, and preserved for 

 many years. 

 This Slate Paint is 



EXTREMELY CHEAP. 



Two gallons will cover a hundred square feet of shin- 

 gle roof, while on tin, iron, felt, matched boards, or 

 any smooth surface, from two quarts to one gallon 

 are required to 100 square feet of surface, and al- 

 though the paint has a heavy body it is easily applied 

 with a brush. 



No Tar is Used in this Composition 



therefore it neither cracks in winter, nor runs in 

 summer. 



On decayed shingles it fills up the holes and pores, 

 and gives a new substantial roof that will last for 

 years". Curled ob warped shingles it brines to their 

 places, and keeps them there. It tills up all holes in 

 felt roofs, stops the leaks, and although a slow dryer, 

 rain does not affect it in a few hours after applying. 

 As nearly all paints that are black contain tar, be 

 sure you obtain our genuine article, which, for shin- 

 gle roofs, is 



CHOCOLATE COLOR, 

 when first applied, changing in about a month to a 

 uniform slate color, and is, to all intents and purpo- 

 ses, slate On 

 B ' TIN ROOFS 



our red color is usually preferred, as one coat is equal 

 to five of any ordinary paint. For 



BRICK WALL^ 

 Our bright red is the only reliable Slate Paint ever 

 introduced that will effectually prevent dampness 

 from penetrating and decoloring the plaster. 



These paints are also largely used on out-honses 

 and fences, or as a priming coat on fine buildings. 



Our only colors are Chocolate, Red, Bright Red 

 and Orange.

 THE GIRONDIST IS THE 

 Most Effective, Powerful, and Cheapest 



DISINFECTANT AND DEODORTZEK. 



It is, when diluted, an Inodorous, Colorless Fluid, which does not injure any 

 object or material it may be applied to, which never fails to destroy contagion, 

 and neutralizes almost instantly the most offensive odors, vapors or 

 gases, and is unrivalled for the dressing of offensive wounds on men and animals. 



Its merits as a disinfectant and deodorizer are indorsed by a host of prominent names in the medical pro" 

 fession and the business community, Public Ins., Railroad Companies, Car lines, Hotels, Undertakers, etc. 

 THE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS OF NEW YORK, BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON,

 Charles Rice, Chemist, Bellevue Hospital, New York, etc. 

 THE GIRONDUV, therefore, is invaluable wnere men and animals congregate, or vvhere any nuisance 

 whatever exists, and needs only a trial to be universally appreciated. Its application consists in Washing, 

 Scrubbing, Sprinkling, Diffusing and Ventilating.
