Carbonized Enamel 
!S AS PURE AS CLASS. 
The Bridgeport M 3 £ 5 g Co . 3 
OF BRIDGEPORT, COM. 
(Office, No. 8S Chambers St*, New York), 
Have the exclusive control of this valuable enamel, and are 
using it to cover * 11 of their celebrated 
American Submerged Force Pumps. 
They also enamel pipe inside and out, whicii delivers the 
warer chemically pure. The Enamel is composed of vege¬ 
table matter, baked on so hard that a blow does not break 
it, and it resists acids that eat gold. 
Gentlemen: I have examined the sections of Carbonized 
Enamel Pipe submitted to me by you. It is superior to any 
pipe I have ever seen for resisting acids and conducting 
water from springs or for use in connection with pumps, 
etc. The Enamel adheres with astonishing tenacity, with¬ 
standing even heavy blows; and the surface of the metal 
where the enamel is beaten off seems to be protected against 
the ordinary action of water.
