28Our STEEL BLACK INK was tested by the Mechanics' Institute in 1836, with two other well-known Inks, to show their comparative qualities for permanence. The result shows
29Our Ink to be legible, while the others are much faded.
30Dr. Chilson's test, made in 1837, engraved fac-similes of which can be seen at our office, proves conclusively that our Black Ink is better adapted for State and County Records, and for all purposes where it is important that the writing should be LEGIBLE FIFTY YEARS hence, than any other Ink now before the public.
