Messrs. Carlton, Contractors for the painting

“ By order of the Directors we applied this Shading to the 
glass roofing of the Glasgow Exhibition, and Jound it 
sensed great advantages over all other prepctwiions_jwe_Jiad 
met with. Being applied cold it wis most convenient to use, 
and while it resisted the action of the rain the whole season 
it was O-t once easily removed by gentle rubbing after wetting. 
It afforded a cool and pleasant sha.de, at same time admitting 
in abundance of light."
