Our liquid paints are composed exclusively of the heM and purest materials combined on different principles from any 
other Liquid or Mixed Paints. Tliey have been thoroughly tested in nearly all parts of the world, and liave been found to 
withstand the severest tests of climatic changes, sea-air, and otlier trying exposures wliere the best wliite lead lias failed, 
and the universal testimony of those wiio have used them is sufficient proof of our claims that they are in every respect 
strictly reliable and first-class paints of a higher grade than have ever before been offered to the public for structural pur¬ 
poses, either in “ paste ” or liquid form, and second to none in richness and permanency of color, beauty of flnish, du¬ 
rability, uniformity, and all characteristics which are requisite to form a perfect ornamental protective covering. 
None but the pxtresl linseed oil and the best pigments known enter into the composition of these paints, and they con¬ 
tain no water, alkalies, benzine, or other deleterious or useless adulterations; we do not, therefore, compete in prices 
with the ciieap paints with which the market is flooded, and which are composed largely of water and other inexpensive 
ingredients. 
Our paints are sold by U. S. Standard Gallon measstre (2.31 cubic inches'): i. e,, owr packages contain from 8 to 12 per 
cent, more paint than is usually sold for the same quantity, and they weigh from 10 to 20 per cent, more to the gallon than 
any others in the market. One g-velon will cover from 225 to 250 square feet, two coats. 
We manufacture forty eight sliades of “ body ” and trimming colors, and also make Standard and Light Greens, Light 
and Dark Blues, Reds, Black, etc.; samples of which will be supplied on application. 
We will send free by mail our pamplilet 
“ STRUCTURAL DECORATION,” 
containing views of many prominent buildings and other structures on which these paints liave been used and the colors 
employed, and which will assist consumers in selecting shades and colors for the satisfactory decoration of their 
buildings,

Gentlemen: Enclosed find check for settlement of our 
account in full. We here desire to express our entire satis¬ 
faction with all the goods received from your house, they 
being in every particular up to tlie standard, both as to 
your claims and our requiremeuts. W. J. SAMPSON, 
House, Sliip, and Ornamental Painters. 
Cohocton. N. Y., May 24,1882. 
Dear Sirs: The Paint came to hand, and my painter says 
it is the best he ever saw—spreads very tine; one coat com¬ 
pletely covers all traces of the wood, and equals two coats 
of other kinds. 
Please ship the following as before » ♦ *. 
Yours truly, THOAIAS WARNER. 
Friars Point, Miss., .June 6,1879. 
Dear Sir: Three or four years ago I purchased a barrel of 
your Asbestos Paint, with whicli I covered a store-house. 
Tlie result has been satisfactory. I am now building a house 
more than ordinarily costly for this locality, and would like I 
you to ship me one barrel. 40 or 50 gallons, as per sliipping | 
'directions enclosed. Yours, etc., .1. L. ALCORN, 
(United States Senator). 
Auburn, N. Y., March 1,1878. 
Dear Sirs: In answer to your inquiry as to how we like 
your Paint, we ore more than entirely satisfied with it. We 
lire large users of paint, and of all tliat we have ever used 
are satisfied yours is far superior; it is put on with less 
labor, covers better, flows more easily, tias a better body, 
and, as far as our experience goes, will stand the weather 
better than any other paint we know of. Your Roof Paint 
is unsurpassed. We used one coat on a tin roof, and to day 
it looks as fresli and the color is as bright as when first ap¬ 
plied. Respectfully yours, JOSIAH BArBEB & SONS, 
Manufacturers of Woolen Goods and Carpetings. 
Andes, N. Y.,Nov. 23,1882. 
Dear Sirs: I have had a tliorough knowledge of the “ As¬ 
bestos” paints fora number of years from actual experi¬ 
ence, and I do not liesitate to say that I deem it to be the 
best article for either inside or outside work that is now 
offered to the public. The covering quality of the Ashesto.s 
Paint is truly surprising. The tints are especlallv flue. 
Truly yours, JOHN G. DEAN, 
Practical Painter, Graincr and Decorator.

if. Yours truly, G. C-LUGAE, 
House and Ornamental Painter. 
Fulton, N. Y., April 5,1880. 
Dear Sirs: Enclosed find check to balance account. I 
sliall use your Paint more extensively this year than last, 
as every one who has had it put on, likes it better than Lead

Paint, which I would not have done, did I not consider i* 
better than lead. Yours truly, 
MARCUS P. CRAHAN, House Painter.

RELATING TO ROOFING.

Dear Sir: We liave several acres of your Asbestos Roof¬ 
ing on our buildings ; the first roof, put on fifteen years ago, 
is in good condition, and we prefer it to any otlier. 
i'ours respectfully,. T. KINGSFORD & SON. 
Office Bigelow Blue Stone Company, 
247 Broadway, New York, April 8,1880. 
Gents: Owing to the fire which occurred on the morning 
of February 1st at the works of our blue stone and planing 
mills, situated at Malden on the Hudson, we sliall shortly 
require more of your roofing material. That portion of the 
building covered with shingles was entirely consumed, hut 
we take pleasure in stating that when the flames reached 
the part covered with your Asbestos Roofing, the edges fell 
over that part of the roof and prevented further progress 
of the flames. The building would have been a total loss 
had it not been for your roofing. 
You are at liberty to make any use you choose of this 
letter, and refer aiw one to us as to tlie merits of tlie 
Asbestos Roofing. Respectfully yours, 
JOHN MAXWELL, Lessee.
