[No. 72
The circumference of the outer and larger circle is more
heavily printed than the inner and smaller is.
The facsimile of this trade mark, which appears on the
labels of the tins of various sizes containing said Pacific
rubber paint, is printed in colours, a reddish tint predomi-
nating between the circumference of the said circle, and a
tint of neutral white approaching the faintest pea-green is the
tint of the inner circle, while the trunk of said indiarubber
tree and said natives appears quite dark, the white breech-
cloths of the natives showing very plainly.
Sometimes the words "Trade Mark" may appear over the
top branches of the tree, instead of in the foreground below
its trunk.

Nature of the Article to which it is intended such Trade
Mark shall apply.
"Pacific Rubber Paint."

Colonial Secretary and Registrar of Trade Marks.
