ASPHALTE

This Article is packed in casks averaging 4-cwt. o-qrs. 14-lbs. Gross, as it has been packed and sent to India, the Far East and the Colonies for more than 70 years. Invoiced on Gross weights.

It is invaluable for Railway Work, Viaducts. Bridges, Floors, Godowns, Drying Grounds, Damp Courses, and for all purposes for which Asphalte is applicable.

Its antiseptic properties and hygienic value are too well known to need comment.

It being impervious to moisture and all kinds of vermin, makes it the cleanest of floors.

To obtain the full advantages of this article it must be borne in mind that the best article is the only one that can be relied on, and our Asphalte has stood the test of more than 70 years.

To ensure obtaining Harrison's Asphalte, it is necessary to see that a signed label is in every Cask.

There is still a large and increasing demand for our Asphalte, although we are competing with cheaper sorts. It is most essential to obtain an article as reliable as ours, as the cost of removing an inferior article, when once laid (if not impossible), would be very great.

In this article the small difference in price cannot be compared with the loss the use of an inferior article may entail.

Shipments made through Merchants in Great Britain, and we shall be glad to have your esteemed enquiries and orders through them, and we are also prepared to give any further information or advice as to its use, etc.

As supplied by us for Calcutta Port Trust, Bombay Port Trust, and to East India Railway.
