We claim that our Finishing Varnishes are unsurpassed in the following qualities: 1. Uniformity. 3. Fluency. 5. Drying 7. Fulness. 2. Paleness. 9. Durability. 4. Reliability. 6. Hardening. 8. Brilliancy. 10. Economy. All know it is easy to make a Varnish that has the single quality of DURABILITY, but Varnishes which wear well are generally inferior in color and working quality, uncertain in laying, too slow in drying, or lacking in body or lustre, and frequently they possess ALL these defects. in our "RAILWAY-COACH FINISHING" the ten qualities will be found combined, and our other Varnishes are as elastic and durable as is practicable for the work on which they are employed. Those of our Varnishes which have the greatest durability require time for hardening. They have superior elasticity, and ARE DISTINGUISHED FOR THE EXTENT OF SURFACE THEY WILL COVER, WHICH RENDERS THEM ECONOMICAL. VALENTINE & COMPANY, Chicago. The AMERICAN RAILROAD JOURNAL, the tions.
