 H. W. JOHNS’ LIQUID PAINTS. 
 
 These are in every respect strictly first-class Paints, composed of pure linseed 
 oil and the highest grade of pigments. They are combined by processes exclu- 
 sively our own, and are unequaled by any in richness and permanency of color. Aa 
 the«e Paints contain no deleterious or useless adulteration, the great difference in 
 their covering properties in comparison with ordinary paint is at once recognized, 
 and the universal testimony is that from fifteen to twenty-five per cent, of the usual 
 cost of iiainting can be saved by their use. 
 
 They are prepared ready for the brush, in fifty-two newest shades and standard 
 colors, and we offer them as the mo.st durable and economical paints ever 
 PRODUCED FOR GENERAL .STRUCTURAL PURPOSES. One gallon Will cover from 260 
 to 275 square feet, two coats. 
 
 £^'For a full description of these Paints see our Pamphlet “Structural Decoration,’' 
 with samples of 54 Shades, which will be sent free by mail.

 ASBESTOS 
 
 These Paints are prepared ready for use, and possess a more elastic body 
 than any other; they are, therefore, less lialilgt to injury, and have proven to he 
 the best and most economical Paints ever produced for similar purposes. They 
 were originally designed for preserving tin and other roofs, but are now also 
 used for Railroad Buildings, Bridges, Freight Cars, Steamboat Decks, Boats, and 
 all wood and iron work exposed to salt or fresh water. They are also especially 
 adapted for Out-buildings, Fences, Gas Holders, and other iron and rough wood- 
 work. One gallon will cover from 350 to 40# square feet, one coat.

 H. W. JOHNS’ MARINE PAINTS. 
 
 This improved composition is the result of more than twenty years’ experiment 
 and the severest tests, and is offered as the most durable ship paint ever produced. 
 It combines in one material all the desirable qualities claimed by other composi- 
 tions which require two or three kinds of Coatings, i. e., it is a perfect water re- 
 pellant, anti-corrosive and anti-fouling, and is equally well adapted for iron or 
 wood work exposed to salt water, in all climates. It is prepared ready for use. 
 
 ^^W'Where it is important that a ship should be painted in one day, we supply 
 this Paint Extra Thin and Extra Heavy, for two coats, to dry in one tide.

H. W, Johns' Patent Asbsstos Matzbiala, 
 
 CAI ■TI'^N. 
 
 As is not unusual with an article of merit, the enviable reputation of H. W. 
 Johns’ Asbestos Materials has tempted imitators to use the name “As- 
 bestos,” which we have made so widely known in connection with our Paints and 
 other Materials ; and we find it necessary to caution purchasers against misrep- 
 resentations, and advise them to see that the name “ H. W. Johns,” with our 
 
 > trade mark, is on every package.

 S a protection to our customers we publish below a fac-slmile of our 
 
 TRADE MARK. LABEL, 
 
 which will be found on every package of H. W. Johns’ Asbestos Liquid Paints.
