Daring an experience of over three years we have had ample opportunity to use for ourselves, and see the merits of this wonderful paint. It is really a remarkable production, and deserves to be ranked as one of the great discoveries of the time.

It is a paint of more than usual durability, gloss and permanence of color. We have seen it on buildings three to eight years of age, as bright and firm as the day it was applied, while it has never shown the slightest sign of wearing, washing or flaking off. The word "Chemical" must not confound it among the numerous humbugs of the day. It is by no means a humbug or imposition, but an article of real merit; as good a thing as ever was manufactured, and is sold by as honorable men as ever con-ducted a fair business. It is prepared in a liquid form, ready for use; is cheap, convenient and lasting. A house painted with Averill Paint will last two to three times longer than any other paint we have yet tried. We speak thus unhesitatingly from personal experience, for we have used it thoroughly, and are unwilling to permit our name to be associated with any enterprise but what is perfectly good, responsible and meritorious.
