Boston, March 16th, 1883. 
Gentlemen: Last spring I painted the exterior of the Fort 
Point House, Stockton, Me., with H. W. Johns' Asbestos 
Paints, and, upon examination this spring, I find it in flrst- 
class condition, looking as good as new. 
Therefore, I have no hesitation in saying that these paints 
are the best I have ever seen and would recommend them 
to all wanting a first class article. 
The severe winter just passed and the exposed situation 
of the Fort Point House gave the paints a very severe test, 
out of which they came in perfect condition. 
Respectfully yours, M M. D. LEWIS, 
Propr. Fort Point House. 
Appledore House, Isles of Shoals, April 4th, 1883. 
Gentlemen: We have covered our establishment with 
vour Asbestos Paint, and feel pleased with it. It wears 
better than any white lead we have yet used.

Dear Sirs: Last fall I bought your Asbestos Paints and 
with it painted half file trimmings on my house. The other 
half I painted with the best of white lead ; at this time the 
■“Asbestos ” looks as white and good as when first applied, 
while the white lead paint looks as if struck with mould, 
and every knot in the wood shows plainly. Hereafter 1 
shall use Asbestos and recommend it to others. Please 
send by express * * * Yours truly, HY. F. GIFFORD.
