Paint For Islands Boats

Of considerable interest to Pacific Islands resi dents who own launches, fishing boats, ketches, etc., is the announcement in this issue of Mr.

George Ward’s anti-fouling paint, “Hullcote.”

Too often, boat-owners in the Pacific find their craft attacked by borers; or that objectionable marine growths, worms, and shell-life, become attached to the bottom of their boats. In course of time, these parasitical growths eat away and rot the plankings of even the most sturdily con structed vessel. Therefore, the announcement that Mr. Ward’s “Hullcote” paint is anti-fouling, and is a preventive against borers, weeds, marine growth, worms, shell-life, etc., is opportune.

The paint has been subjected to most rigorous tests and the results are claimed to have been remarkably satisfactory. Hundreds of unsolicited testimonials attest to the ability of the paint to withstand tropical heat, and prevent borers from attacking Wooden piers and landings. Further par ticulars and supplies of “Hullcote” anti-fouling paint may be obtained from the manufacturer, Mr.

George Ward, Birmingham Street, Alexandria,

New South Wales.
