ANOTHER LIST OF RECOMMENDS. 
Sam'l L. Conde, Esq., Canastota, N. Y., writes : I am much 
pleased with your Paint. Two houses in this place, painted 
with the best while lead the season after mine was painted, 
with your paint, are already chalking and failing. Tlie 
Chemical Paint is hard and fine. Such facts convince me 
that you have the hest paint made. 
Rev. S. C. Alexander Biddlc Institute, Charlotte, N. C, 
writes:— " Please accept our testimonial of the great value 
of your paint. Of its superior beauty and brilliancy there is 
no question. We have saved §150 more than we would have 
done had we used lead." 
SCHJCNEVUS, N. Y. 
A. C.P. Co.— Gents: I have used your White Chemical 
Paint on my old weather-worn house, and it has caused 
quite a sensation in this village. It H truly handsome, and I 
am more than satisfied. J. J. Multkr, 
Editor "Schencvus Monitor." 
Rev. Albert Nash, Lee, Mass., writes:— "I have used 
your paint on my house, and, for cheapness and beauty.it 
surpasses any paint I have ever seen. It remains hard and 
glossy, and, although it was painted immediately preceding 
a heavy rain, it could not be seen to have washed a particle." 
Geo. J. Colby, Architect, Waterhury, Vt., writes :— "I in- 
vestigated the paint question thoroughly before deciding 
what to use on my 'model house,' and can say that tlie 
Averill Chemical Paint is all you claim for it."

Gents;— In reply to your favor, 31st, would say. In No- 
vember last, I painted my house, 194 Walnut Ave., Boston 
Highlands, outside and inside, with Averill Chemical Paint. 
Thus far, it pleases me very much indeed, and, compared 
with other houses painted at the same time with Lead, Is 
very noticeable— its freshness and polish. I can only say that 
I should use it were I to build again, and have nohesitation 
in advising my friends to use it. Yours very truly.

THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE, 
Nov. 5th, 1870. 
This Improved Roofing Material is entirely rft fife rent 
from any other, and is TEN TIMES STRONG- 
ER Uian any Composition Roofing; in use. An examina- 
tion of this material will satisfy competent judges that it is 
in every respect a substantial and durable fabric, made 
upon correct principles, perfectly adapted for the purpose, 
and totally unlike the numberless cheap and flimsy articles 
heretofore sold for similar purposes. It is adapted* for steep 
or fiat roofs in any climate, and can be readily applied by 
any one.

Extract from Report of Committee appointed by A.m. Insti- 
tute Farmers' Club to examine the ASBESTOS ROOFING. 
" The material constitutes, for a cheap rooting, one of un- 
usual merit, much superior to any of the class previously 
brought to their notice, and worthy of trial by those who 
desire a durable, easily applied, and comparatively inex- 
pensive and safe roofing, the material having, in addition to 
the other merits claimed for it, that of being practically 
fire-proof, and consequently much less liable than the 
shingles commonly used on barns and rural dwellings, to 
catch lire from flying sparks, &c."

A bos of Soap in a family is better than "money at
