Sc B, compound, is thoroughly waberproof, acid, alkali and gas proof, in all respecbs superior to tbeordiuary building papers in the market, A special feature, and the oue which bas induced bhe manufacturers to give ifc the name of the "Universal" iu addition to its merit as a building paper, is that they have put it in the market afc a lower price tban any buUding paper of any description, for which reason they feel certain that ifc is bound to become the universal buUding paper. The ofcher new brand is pub inbo the markefc under fche fcrade mark of the " Giant" buildiug paper. This paper is completely saturated with water¬ proof, acid and alkali proof and insulating material, aud the work is so thoroughly done thafc the paper can be cut iu any way and torn into bits and no particle of it wUl absorb moisture. Every fibre is thoroughly im¬ pregnated, and tbere has never been a similar paper manufactured before. The paper is more waterproof thau leather, and wbere the best article tbat it is possible to make is wanted the " Giant" paper is sure to be used.
