All Work warranted to give entire satisfaction. 



^NO CLAP-TRAP OR MACHINERY WORK^ 



Done at this establishment. These Cisterns will last good 25 to 35 years. 

 A large assortment of Cisterns made of the best material and workmanship kept con- 

 stantly on hand and for sale at 



Prices Cheaper than the Cheapest. 



All kinds made to order and repaired. Highest Premiums awarded at the two last 

 Louisiana State Fairs, and at the Southern States Agricultural and Industrial Exposition 

 of 1870. 



Grain Stills and all kinds of Distillery Cisterns made to 

 order in tlie best possible manner. 

 Bottoms are increased in thickness according to size of Cisterns. 



These Cisterns are made of the best Amite River and Stockton Cypress Lumber (free 

 from Sap, Shakes, Worm holes, &c.), which is peculiarly adapted to Cisterns, being hard, 

 close grained, and very durable ; it wiU last twice as long as the celebrated Tazoo or other 

 soft cypress. The hoops are made of superior Band Iron, being put on in proportion to 

 the pressure, strong at bottom and decreasing towards the top. 



The Bottoms which are always the first part of good Cisterns to decay, are coated on 

 the lower side with a compound of the best wood preservative (manufactured to my order 

 for my especial use). It prevents rot and dampness; worms and insects that are very 

 destructive will not touch the preparation, which keeps the bottoms good and sound as 

 long or longer than the rest of the Cistern, 



when Cisterns are shipped (knocked down), they are numbered and packed carefully 

 (one or two Staves being sent extra), so there is not much trouble in putting them up 

 again. 



No extra charges for putting up in the city or shipping to the country, packed or 

 otherwise. 



j^'Orders respectfully solicited and promptly attended to. Send for Price List. 



DOM'T MISTAKE THE PLACE, 



There are other ciatern makers in the neighborhood.
