City Council Office, Dec. 19, 1872. 12-20 3865 HUBBUCK'S PATENT WHITE ZINC PAINT is the most durable and beautiful paint known, does not stain or discolour with the atmosphere of large towns, and by their process, which is patented, is cheaper tnan White Lead. It is especially adapted for painting iron, as, by virtue of a semi-galvanic action, it enters the pores and forms amalgam of the two metals, which protects the Iron from decay or incrastation. It should be used instead of Red Lead, which is proved to be destructive to Iron exposed to Salt Water. Adulterations.—Some Paint Grinders have been selling Zinc Paint adulterated with Sulphate of Barytes, in proportions varying from ten to thirty per cent. No workman can produce good work with such material. Those who have obtained the Patent White Zinc Paint from grinders win have not adulterated it, will never willingly use any other Paint for their best work. Each Cask of Pure White Zinc is stamped — "Hubbuck, London, Patent." Thomas Hubbuck and son, White Lead, Oil, Paint, and Varnish Works, 24 Lime Stbeet.
