A NOVEL POOL 
October 24, 1939. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
“My new lily pool turned out very successfully this 
summer and I still have blossoms from the Star Lilies, 
Blue Triumph, and Panama Pacific. 
“This is a rather novel and inexpensive irregular 
pool. I dug it 2 feet deep, sloping the sides to a 45 
degree angle. I coated this whole ground surface to 
the top edge with a product known as Cold Patch 
(iquid asphalt). It is used for making roads, roofs, 
ete., and is applied cold, retailing for about 25¢ per 
gallon. I used 5 to 6 gallons to complete the job, 
applying it with an old sprinkling can. While still 
wet I covered it lightly with fine crushed stone, 
allowing it to dry for 2 days before applying 2 more 
coats of asphalt and stone. Afterwards I gave it a 
coat of clear cement and water, applying it with a 
brush. When this was dry I gave it a coat of blue 
Under Water Enamel (offered on page 10). The pool 
has held perfectly and looks very good now, washing 
up fine when it becomes dirty. The materials used 
cost about $5, which is pretty cheap for a 9x12 pool. 
Cordially yours, 
E. W. HOWELL, 
Buffalo, N. Y.
