A FEW OPINIONS OF USERS,
Prof. A. H. Church, M. A., F.R.S.—“ Willesden Canvas appears to resist the attack of moisture and of Animal Organisms.”
H M Stanley, Esq.—“ As regards the Tent Canvas which proved so indestructible, it deserves every credit. While the
Canvas resisted rot’and damp and decay, the twine with which the tent had been sewn gave way several times because it had
not been dipped into the preservative. We remedied that in Africa by unravelling some Canvas, and using its threads. No
other Canvas is fit for any damp weather. I could say much about it, but all my Officers know its superiority to Canvas
unprepared .”—August 4, 189U.
The Secretary General Post Office, London.—” I have to inform you that the bags have satisfactorily answered the
purpose for which they were obtained, namely, that of protecting the parcels, etc., from the surf or heavy rains during
disembarkation.” —August 3U, 1595.
Jas. W. Addyman, Esq., Starbeck.—“ I have nothing but praise for the Canvas. I have found it weather-proof, wind-
proof, and immensely strong.”
Theodore Bent, Esq.—” We always travel with green fly Tents with double flaps, the whole made of Willesden Canvas,
which does not get mouldy when folded up wet .”—The Album, July 8, 1895.
