No. 5 Nassau St., 
New York, Sept. 5th, 1871. 
We are strongly recommending in exchange for Five- 
Twenty Bonds, soon to be called in, the six pep. cent 
Gold Bonds of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad 
Company, now sellisig at 93 and interest, of which we 
have only some ,$5000,000 still unsold. The total amount 
of the loan is $15,000,100. They are issued in denomina- 
tions of $1,000, $500, and $100, coupon and registered, 
interest payable May and November, in New York City, 
in United States gold coin. 
The Central Pacific Sixes, amounting t o $io,SS5,000, 
are in sharp demand for the German markets, and any 
amount can be sold as readily as so many Five-Twenty 
Bonds : they are freely dealt in at all the prominent 
Stock Exchanges in the world, and will soon advance to 
a large premium. That the same result will follow with 
the Chesapeake and Ohio Bonds, on the completion of 
the road, we have no doubt. 
Holders of five-twenties, by conversion into Cen- 
tral Pacifics, retain the same rate of interest, and in- 
crease their capital about 12 per cent. By converting 
into the Chesapeake and Ohio bonds the increase will 
be about 20 per cent. 
Holders of Centrals can exchange for Chesapeake and 
Ohios, and increase their capital from 7 to 8 per cent, and 
in either case have a bond just as sure to be paid, prin- 
cipal and interest, as a Five-Twenty Bond. 
As the amount of Chesapeake and Ohio bonds remain- 
ing unsold is so small, and the demand very great, they 
must soon be absorbed. There are very few Centrals on 
the market, and they will soon largely advance in price.

WATCHES!

T. M. Avert, Esq., 
Pres't National Watch Co., Chicago: 
Bear Sir :— In answer to your inquiries as to the Watch I 
have of your manufacture, I would say that I have carried 
it some four months, and And it a good, reliable lime-keeper. 
The movements seem perfect; it runs regular, and I see no 
difference in Its register of time whether I carry it about 
with me in the office or when traveling by trains. I do not 
hesitate to recommend them as reliable Watches, with per- 
fect works running with great accuracy, and well adapted 
for use of railroad men or others that wish good Watches. 
Besides, they are the production of our own country's 
mechanics, and that, together with their merit as time- 
registers, should certainly give them preference over 
imported Watches, however good the reputation of foreign 
makers may be. Yours truly 
J. TILLIXGHAST. 
Similar testimonials to the above have been received from 
the General Sup'ta of the Union Pacific, the Chicago, Alton, 
and St. L., the C. and R. I., the C. and N. W., the Erie', 
the Hudson Eiver, the Penn. Central, the Mich. Central, and 
the Mich. Southern Railroads. The Penn. Central R.B. arc 
furnishing the Elgin Watches to their engineers. Nearly "00 
are now In use upon that line owned by the Company. Not 
the least among the causes why this leading and splendidly 
managed road has never met with a serious accident in the 
running of its trains, is the reliability of these time-keepers. 
From the above testimony, it is claimed for them that they 
are the standard Railroad Watches of the Country.

durable and beautiful paint made. 
What People eay: 
PETER HENDERSON, Seedsman and Florist, New 
York, writes, Feb. 17, 1871 : 
" It is now a year and a half ago since I painted my resi- 
dence with the Averill Chemical Paint, and, compared 
with painting that 1 had done with the best White Lead and 
Oil at the same time, I find that bheCHEMKMX Paint retains 
the color and gloss far superior to the lead oil. In the future 
I will use no other." 
J. V. NICHOLS, AncniTECT and Civil Engineer, 
Orange, N. J., writes, March : 
"Over two years ago I had my house painted with the 
Averill Paint, and from close observation think it supe- 
rior to the best English WMte Lead— covers better, retains 
its gloss, and does not crack or chalk off— in fact, becomes 
firmer with age. I think it cheaper because of these quali- 
ties, allowing Hist cost the same. From my experience, the 
colors stand much better than any other Paint in use." 
Mr. J. S. VALENTINE, of Yonkers, New York, says, 
July 28, 1871: 
"He painted bis house two years ago, one coat onlv, with 
the Aveiuli. Chemical Paint, and that it is as good to-day 
as when first applied. It beats English and all oilier Leads 
for beauty, ami its durability is beyond (fuesiion. Wuuld 
have required two coats had he used Lead, ' etc.
