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 white lead the season after mine was painted, 
with your paint, are already chalking and failing. The 
Chemical Paint is hard and fine. Such facts convince me 
that you have the best paint made. 
Rev. S. C. Alexander, Biddle 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.” 
— Schenevus, N. Y. 
A. C. P. Co.— Gents: I have used your White Chemical 
Paint on my oM weather-worn house, and it has caused 
quite a sensation in this village. It is truly handsome, and I 
am more than satisfied. J. J. Multer, 
Editor “ Schenevus 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, Waterbary, Vt„ writes:— “I in¬ 
vestigated the paint question thoroughly before deciding 
wliat to use on my 1 model house,’ and can say that the 
Averill Chemical Paint is all you claim for it.” 
Boston, Mass. 
Gents :—In reply to your favor, 31st, would say. In No¬ 
vember last, I painted my house, 104 Walnut Avc., Boston 
Highlands, outside and inside, with Averill Chemical Paint 
Tims 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 1 to build again, and have no hesitation 
in advising my friends to use it. Y T ours very truly,

ROOFING. 
THE PATENT 
FIRST PREMIUM AWARDER BIT 
THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE, 
Nov. 5tls, 1870. 
This Improved Roofing Material is entirely different 
from any other, and is TEN TIMES STRONG¬ 
ER than any Composition Roofing in use. An examina¬ 
tion of this material will satisfy competent judges that it is 
m every respect a substantial and durable fabric, made 
upon correct principles, perfectly adapted for the purpose, 
and totally unlike the numberless clteat^and flimsy articles 
heretofore sold for similar purposes. It is adapted for steep 
or flat roofs in any climate, and can be readily applied by 
any one. 
From Report of Judges Am. Institute Exhibition of 1870. 
II. W. Johns’ Improved Roofing. “ It is strong and flexi¬ 
ble; unaffected by the sun’s heat; practically fire-proof 
and water-proof, and is realh/ an article of the first of merit.” 
(Horace Greeley, Pres’t, 
Signed, < Geo. Peyton, Rec’g Sec’y, 
( Sam’l D. Tillman, Cor'g Sec'y. 
Extract from Report of Committee appointed by Am. Insti¬ 
tute Farmers’ Club to examine the ASBESTOS ROOFING. 
“ The material constitutes, for a cheap roofing, 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 fire from flying sparks, &e.”

Good Soap, like good Wine, is 
improved by age.— Among the ruins of Herculane¬ 
um and Pompeii, Soap was found in a good state of pres¬ 
ervation, after having been buried over 1,700 years. 
A box of Soap in a family is better than “ money at 
interest as when from three to six months old, one 
pound will go further than three pounds of new soap.
