For more than twenty years this paint has been in general use by master mechanics, master car builders and chief engineers upon the principal railroads in this country, who have pronounced it superior to any paint they have ever used, for the many purposes to which it has been applied, viz.: For painting car roofs, the upper face and outside of car sills, the mortise and tenon when building or repairing cars, the outside of locomotive boilers before the lag is put on, the inside of locomotive tanks to protect the iron from rust, the inside of pits of tenders to protect the iron from the injurious effects of the coal, trucks, wheels, bridge timbers, turn tables, the inside of station water tanks, roofs of buildings, etc., etc. It penetrates wood, forming a body in the same, which no other paint does. Is impervious to water, and the best preserver known.
The foundation of this paint is creosote, which in its nature, is very penetrating and the best known preserver. It is mixed ready for use, and one gallon of this paint will cover twice the surface of any other paint in use. This paint is very extensively used for painting vessel hulls.
