.STREETS, 
Eagan’s Improved Macadam pavement for streets 
Is destined to tnlco the place of all other forms of 
pavement, for the reasons, viz : 
It is cheaper, more durable, more easily and per¬ 
fectly repaired. Is Impervious to water, and no at¬ 
mospheric change Will utlecl it. 
It ts free from muai 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 
each other —dust and mud Is the result. Eagan’s 
Composition holds the rocks firmly together, thus 
completely remedying tills evil, and confining t e 
wear of liie road to it* surface. 
KIDKWALKN. 
Eagan’s Composition Is peculiarly adapted for side¬ 
walks and lawn walks, private roadways, gutters, 
etc. It can be rnudu into blocks and lalu In sr pares 
or diamond form,or made one continuous sheet, cow¬ 
ering arched work more perfectly than the largest 
Hags tone, and at one-fourth the expense. 
Walks made of it have a smooth, hjird and even 
surface, pleasant to walk upon.alwnys clean and free 
of ice, and of as great durability as if made of the best 
ting ••tone. idc under Eagan’s patent cost 
but little if any more than tl made of plank, and are 
as durable as rock. 
ROOFING, 
Made of this composition, Is far superior to the com¬ 
mon felt roofs that are ruade of gravel, felt, coal-tar 
and pitch. The latter Is liable to run In warm cli¬ 
mates and to crack In cold. By the peculiar eiiem- 
lenl combinations in this composition both of these 
objections are obviated,and u roof produced equal to 
slate, at a cost of about ooe-tlurd as much her square. 
CELLAR BOTTOMS AND SIDES, 
Lined with this composition, from one to two inches 
thick, keep perfectly dry and warm in winter and cool 
in summer, and are rat and vermin proof. 
FLOORS. 
Floors made of It may be painted any color; and 
are us pleasant to tread upon a* It made of wood. 
CISTERNS AND VATS. 
Eagan’s Composition Is impervious to water and in¬ 
soluble in aclus, making It Just the thing for lining 
vats in breweries and manufactories of most kinds. 
It. Is equally well adapted for cisterns, much better 
than the best hydraulic cements, »nd not aubject to 
decay from any cause. 
PIPING. 
Piping made of Kagan's Composition has been In use 
for five veers in Sau Francisco, Cal., where it was first 
Invented. It lias given entire satisfaction, almost 
entirely superseding all other kinds of piping for 
sewers or drains. It is easily and cheaply made, and 
has the advantage of being made at any place with¬ 
out a great outlay of money for machinery, tools, 
buildings or materials. 
pipes can be made ol any required sire, are cheaper, 
and will sustain a greater external or Internal press¬ 
ure that] any other kind of uement pipe. 
CEMENT. 
As a cement it Is acknowledged, by scientific men 
who have examined it, to be the strongest known. 
A wall built of brick or stone, and this cement used 
as a mortar, weuld be perfectly solid as If made of a 
solid rock. 
-SEA WA LLH. 
Sea walls can be built with this material In combi¬ 
nation with broken rock, more rapidly and cheaper 
thau In any other way

RECOMMENDATIONS. 
Office of Union railroad company, ) 
ST. Loris, Mo., 28th March, 1871. J 
This specimen of Pacific Concrete, i Eagan’s Patent,) 
was taken from the t nion Street Railroad of St. Louis, 
Mu' where it has been in use since December, 1869. 
Since that date the teams of the railroad huve passed 
over that portion of the track where the concrete is 
used, 300 I wars null ilav. while that same portion of 
the track iB constantly used by ulbur teams and vehi¬ 
cles of the city. 'This pavement has received no re¬ 
pairs whatever, and shows but little wear after con¬ 
stant use for sixteen months (now 22 months). In 
summer it is free from dust, and in winter brings 
with ii no inconvenience from snow and ice. The 
Macadamizing ut either end of this block of concrete 
is renewed tluoe times each year, ts soft and wet 
when mud) 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¬ 
cific Concrete in the track of the Union Railroad has 
given entire satisfaction. \YM. BTOitic, Bup’t. 
This Company will take contracts In any city of the 
United States to make Macadamized Pavements, and 
will guarumee them to last twenty years, and keep 
them in repair for a small percentage. Will also 
supply orders for Drain, Sewer, Water and Gas Pipe.
