him. JOHN D.*POPE.
Attorney at Law.
Albany, Ga., Nov. 19. 1895.
The roof painting done for me by Mr.
Harvey English has been and still is
one of the most satisfactory jobs of
work which I ever had done. He
stopped all leaks in a large tin roof,
and there were a great many. His
hole transaction was fair, business
like and satisfactory.
Respectfully,' A. W. MUSE.
Albany, Ga.. Jan. 29, 1S97.
Having had Mr Harvey English to
paint several roofs with his incompara
ble preparation for stopping leaks it
affords me pleasure to bear Testimony
to his honest workmanship and to the
fact that “English Paint Stops the
Leaks; Yes it Do.”
