IRON SHARPENETH IRON.

This was proved in King Solomon’s time, and mankind has made the ‘best use of the phenomenon ever since. Special forms of iron have even been invented for the purpose of preventing the disintegration of the sharpened edges due to ordinary wear and tear Or the ravages of corrosion. Plating with metal and coatings of mag-netic rust have been applied in various ways with more or less success. Still rust has continued and many millions of pounds worth of iron have been los-t yearly through lack of proper protection. Fishoilene chemists set out several years ago to ascertain the real causes of these losses, and found that while the oxygen in air or water was allowed to obtain direct access to the pits of the metal whether covered with magnetic particles or not corrosion would assuredly continue. After experimenting with all the available oils a special fish product was discovered which definitely served the purpose of rust prevention when processed in a most unusual way and to which was added an ingredient of extraordinary penetrating quality. This product is now doing what no other substance has been known to do for the last hundred years, and the fact that other products are being hastened on to the market indicates that the success of Fishoilene has at least caused paint manufacturers to think. 6
