6 MARINE REVIEW. NORTHERN STEAMSHIP Co. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY LINE, MR. CHARLES DALE, President Peerless Rubber Mfg. Co. New York City. DEAR SIR.: I have used Rainbow Packing for steam and hot water pressures of 266 lbs. and 500 to 600 lbs. respectively, ane oe 1 superior toall others. Before using Rainbow Packing I tried various other packings, including corrugated copper, an pun that they would not hold. I therefore tried Rainbow Packing and can cheerfully recommend it as being the only packing for all high pressures in the market to-day. Respectfully yours, HENRY J. REYNOLDS, Chief Engineer Steamship North Land. RAINBO ' On Hoard Steamship North Land, September 12, 1895. Is the only Packing in the World that will Successfully hold High Pressures.

With this style of Furnace Flue the rivets at the "back ends" are out of the line of fire, and all that has to be done to remove it is to cut out the rivets at the ends and slip it through the front; and to replace it, simply to slip it back in its place and rivet up the ends again without disturbing any part of the boiler. No smithwork is required to fit it ona boiler or to refit it when replaced. It is ready for use as it comes from the manufacturers. This style of flue has been in use six years without a single complaint. Over 14,000 of Purves' Ribbed Steel Furnace Flues in successful use 'n Marine Bollers.
