Froyn American Agriculturist^ Noveinbei\ 1880. 
“ Through a number of years the H. W. Johns Mf'g Co.

%Mints that are remarkable fco' their durability and beauty. 
Their Asbestos Liquid Paints have real nurit, and all who

bear this in mind. IVe can gladly refer the reader to our 
recommendation of this firm and its paints in thepiast."

From Manufacturer and Builder, June, 1884. 
The H. >F. Johns Manufacturing Co., 87 Maiden Lane, 
New York, have issued in very attractive fotm, an illus¬ 
trated pampldet bearing the title “ Structural Decoration,'" 
which is devoted to advocating the more liberal use of c^'s 
in the decoi'ation of cottages, villas, etc., and particularly to 
the advocacy of the merits of the well-known Asbestos Liquid 
Paints of their manufacture. These paints are none so 
well-known, by reason of their very extensive introduction in 
all parts of the country, that it will be telling an old story to 
make more than a passing allusion to their merits. 
The pamphlet, besides desenbing the nature and quality 
of the asbestos paints, gives a numbes' of well executed en¬ 
gravings of prominent public buildings, hotels, railway 
companies and structures xvhich have the paints in use. In 
the extensive list of these, we notice the Capitol at Washing¬ 
ton, the Metropolitan Flevdted Bailroad of New York, and 
many of the leading railway companies, and summer re¬ 
sort hotels. 
Mr. Johns has the honor of being the pioneer in this coun¬ 
try of the asbestos industry, and to his numerous imprrove- 
ments, in the processes for utilizing this product, and his 
energy and business skill, the building up of the asbestos in¬ 
dustry to Us present large proportions, is very largely due.
