"EAGAN'S COMPOSITION.” 
Tho most perfect, reliable un»1 Konc»ruJly into tul njtachlne In existence. For the family of the farmer nr 
mechanic, where the work required or n sowing nmefiine ranges from the heaviest car in ents of men's wear 
to the most delicate ami ornamental fa Dries for bullon urn! children, it has proved itself thoroughly efficient 
and entirely sat is factors'. Of tin aqua led simplicity and compactness of construction, capable of heina 
learned and operated with one-fourth the usual expenditure ol time and labor# with a capacity for quantity, 
quality and variety of execution beyond its competitors, and a reputation fur durability and reliability 
known and appreciated hy thousands, it is ottered to tiie people fur the most critical inspection and com- 
par won, with confidence Mint its obvious merits cannot fail to convince the careful examiner of its superi¬ 
ority. Manufactured by the 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
oiTii K (if union Railroad Cumpany, j 
ST. 1,01118, Mo., 28th March, 1871. 5 
This specimen -d PaelfleConcrete. (Eagan’s Patent,) 
was taken from the Union Street Kullrniid of St. Louis, 
Mo., Where It has been in use since December, 1869. 
Since that dale The teunis of the railroad have passed 
over tlmt ikjiuoii ol the truck where the concrete Is 
used, 300 lout # nu'h dog. while that same portion of 
Hie track is constantly used by othor teams and vehi¬ 
cles of llie city. This pavement lias received no re¬ 
pairs whatever, and shows but little wear after con¬ 
stant use for sixteen months (new 22 months), in 
summer it is free from dust, and in winter brings 
with U no inconvenience iron) snow mid ice. The 
Macada mixing at either end of (Ills Mock of concrete 
is renewed three limes each year, is soft and wet 
when much water Is used, and in all probability will 
require such renewing tor several years to Come be¬ 
fore the concrete needs repairing. The. block of Pa- 
citic Concrete in the track of the Union Railroad has 
given entire satisfaction. VVM, Stork, Sup’t. 
This Company will take contracts In any city of the 
United States to make Macadamized Pavements, and 
will guarantee them to last twenty years, and keep 
them in repair for a small percentage. Will also 
supply orders for Drain. Sewer, Water anil Uas Pipe. 
Rooting for sale.

Used in laying streets, roadways, sidewalks, in lining 
cellars, cisterns. vat*. and in the manufacture of sew¬ 
ers and sower-pipe, water-pipe, drain-pipe, gas-pipe, 
rooting and architectural ornaments. 
STREETS. 
Eagan's improved Macadam pavement for streets 
is destined to take the place of ull other forms of 
pavement, for the reasons, viz ; 
It. Is cheaper, morn durable. more easily and per¬ 
fectly repaired. Is impervious to water, and no at¬ 
mospheric cIiuuko will affect it. 
It is free from mud and dust, and is noiseless. 
It is smooth without being slippery, and has suf¬ 
ficient elasticity to make it the easiest pavement 
known for animals to travel over. 
DURABILITY. 
The reason a Macadam road does not last longer is 
because the stones are loose and rub and grind upon 
euclt other — dturt, and mud Is the result. Eagan’s 
( omposltlon holds the rocks tlruily together, thus 
completely remedying this evil, and conlluliig the 
wear of the road to its surface. 
SIDEWALKS. 
Eagan’s Composition is perillinrly adapted for sidc- 
«atks and lawn walks, private roadways, gutters, 
etc. it eao be made into 1 . .imi laid ijiaquorea 
nr diamond form,or made one conilluious sheet, cov¬ 
ering arched work more perfectly than the largest 
flagstone, amt at one-lourtli the expense. 
Walks made of it have u smooth, hard and even 
surface, pleasant to walk upon,always clean and free 
ot lee, and of a* great durability as It muilrot the best 
flagstone- sidewalk . made under Kagan's patent cost 
but little if any more than if made of plank, and are 
as durable its rock. 
ROOFING, 
Made of this composition, is far superior to tho com¬ 
mon felt roots that lire nuide of gravel, felt, coal-tar 
and pitch. The latter Is liable to run in warm cli¬ 
mates and to crack In cold. Ry the peculiar chem¬ 
ical combinations In this composition both of these 
objections are obviated,and a roof produced equal to 
slate, at a cost of about one-third as much por square. 
CELLAR BOTTOMS AND HIDES, 
Lined with this composition, from one to two incites 
thick, keep perfectly dry and warm In winter and cool 
in summer, and arc rat and vermin proof. 
FLOORS. 
Floors made of It may be painted any color; and 
are as pleusant to tread upon as if made of wood. 
CISTERNS AND VATS. 
Kagan's Composition Is Impervious to water and in¬ 
soluble in acids, making It just, the thing for lining 
vats 111 breweries and manufactories of most kinds. 
It is equally well adapted lor cisterns, much better 
than t he best, hydraulic cements, and not subject to 
decay from any cause. 
PIPING. 
Filling made of Kagan'*Composition has been in use 
for live years In Sun Francisco, (.'al,, where Itwastlrst 
invented. It lias given entire satisfaction, almost 
entirely superseding all other kinds of piping for 
sowers or drains- D. is easily and cheaply made, and 
has the advantage ot being made lit uny place with¬ 
out a great outlay ot money tor machinery, tools, 
buildings or materials. 
Pipes van be mode of any required size, are cheaper, 
and will sustain 11 greater external or Internal press¬ 
ure thin, uny other kind ot cement pipe. 
CEMENT. 
As a cement it is acknowledged, by scientific men 
who have examined it, to he the strongest known. 
A wall built of Illicit or stone, and this cement used 
as a mortar, would be perfectly solid as if made of a 
solid rock. 
SEA WALLS. 
Sea walls can be built with tils material in combi¬ 
nation with broken rock, more rapidly and cheaper 
than in any other way.
