To Preserve Tropical Buildings

p. 77 · Read in the full issue

WITH 54 years of successful trading behind them, Messrs. James Morrison and Com pany Ltd. have built up a solid reputation in the Pacific Islands with their wood-preserving oils, coal tar, greases and creosote lines.

They introduced to the South Seas the well known products, “Botanite” and “Mascol”—pre parations which have helped materially to save many tropical buildings. The former, a quick drying black enamel, has proved a boon in the Islands where corrosion is rampant and so much

iron-work requires a reliable anti-rust dressing.

“Mascol” has demonstrated itself to be an effective wood-preserving stain where white ants and borers have been troublesome.

Messrs. Morrison and Co. market two other products which have met with a steady demand from Pacific residents —high grade Phenolic and Eucalyptus Disinfectants. Possessing not un pleasant odours, both these preparations have proved to be very effective germ-killers.

The above products are obtainable at most Islands stores. Further information can be had from Messrs.

Morrison and Co. Ltd., 251 George St., Sydney.***
