| TEXT | Mr. Louderbough had been formerly employed with the C. A. Woolsey Paint and Color" Company, and in starting his new industry had a very wide and extended experience in the sale and manufacturing of paints for house and marine purposes. Their brands of paints known as "New Jersey" Pure Linseed Oil Paints and "New Jersey" Copper Paints and Anti-corrosive and Anti-fouling Composition have a large market. One of the most difficult problems ever presented in connection with shipbuilding has been that of manufacturing a successful paint to protect the submerged bottom of iron vessels. Rust is a natural enemy of iron, and salt water increases its enmity to a very great extent, so that the making of a paint that will remain hard under water and possess tenacity enough to contend against the incessant
friction, and thus check the ravages of rust, is no easy matter. After the applications of such an anti-corrosive
paint comes the difficulty of producing an anti-fouling paint for the second coat. This, it is conceded, must be poisonous in nature, but without harming either the under coat or the iron. Equally difficult with these problems is that of manufacturing an anti-fouling composition to protect the bottom of wooden vessels. Many poisonous ingredients were tried from time to time, until some years ago copper oxide began to gain favor and to-day it is generally used. If properly manufactured it gives the results desired, but out of the many manufactured copper paints only a few have obtained any degree of success. Marine paint production has become a specialty in the paint line, and to-day one of the largest and most successful producers is the New Jersey Paint Works, whose productions are now sold all over the world. In their foreign introduction labels in seven foreign languages are used. The company's trademark, registered in the United States Patent Office, is a copy of a photograph of a board having
one end painted with "New Jersey" Copper Paint, and placed in the water at Port Royal, S. C. for five months. Upon the unpainted end can be noted the ravages of the salt water worm so destructive to wood, and also the large number of barnacles that have fastened upon it. Attention is called to the splendid condition of the painted end, where "New Jersey" Copper Paint was applied. In testimony of this Mills Edwards, master of the schooner Florence Shay, says: "The board here represented was placed in the water at Port Royal, S. C, by me, and left in
the water five months. The painted end was as good as when it was placed in the water." The New Jersey Paint Works, in the twenty years of its existence, has not only become one of the leading manufacturing industries of Jersey City, but has likewise become famous throughout the world, for its products are sold in every country to which the ships of commerce go. Mr. Louderbough gives the business his personal attention, and although connected with other enterprises, both commercial and financial, considers this his first charge, and spends much of the business day at the factory. The productions are absolutely the best, and hence the success attending their introduction and sale has been remarkable, for no other copper paint has ever received such a rapid introduction. Its guaranteed quality has made it greatly liked. |
