Carbonized Enamel 
IS AS PURE AS CLASS. 
The Bridgeport M'f'g Co., 
OF BRIDGEPORT, CONN. 
(Office, No. 8S Chambers St., New York), 
Have the exclusive control of this valuable enamel, and are 
using it to coverall of their celebrated 
American Submerged Force Pumps. 
They also enamel pipe inside and out, which delivers the 
warer chemically pure. The Enamel is composed of vege- 
table matter, babel on so hard that a blow does not break 
it. and it resists acids that eat gold. 
Gentlemen: I have examined the sections of Carbonized 
Enamel Pipe submitted to me by you. It is superior to any 
pipe I have ev«r seen for resisting acids and conducting 
water from springs or for use in connection with pumps, 
etc. The Enamel adhere with astonishing tenacity, with- 
standing even heavy blows; and the surface of the metal 
where The enamel is beaten off seems to be protected against 
the ordinary action of water.
