There are no intricate directions to follow. It is so easy to apply that a woman can do the work. Imagine the delight of the housewife when she can, at a trifling expense, change the finish on the floor, furniture or any woodwork to imitate light or dark oak, walnut, mahogany, cherry, or any finish she chooses. Co-Var-Finish is applied easily, with a varnish brush. It spreads smoothly, and dries over night with a glossy finish, hard as a rock. It will not soften through usage or wear, nor chip or flake. Co-Var-Finish is equal or superior to many similar goods selling at $3.00 per gallon and higher. Co-Var- Finish will give you perfect satisfaction.

With Co-Var-Finish You Can Have An Entirely Different Finish If you wish to change the finish from a dark to a lighter shade, first apply a coat of ground color. This is a yellow that completely covers the old finish, and supplies an excellent background or foundation upon which to apply the lighter finish you wish. If some of your furniture has lost its finish, or is not in harmony with the surroundings, no need of throwing it away. A very little Co-Var-Finish will do wonders. You can make such furniture look like new. You can change the color to harmonize with your carpets and curtain hangings. You can make it look like solid mahogany, rosewood, cherry, oak (either light or dark), walnut — in fact, anything you wish. You Need No Previous Experience to Use Co-Var-Finish You will be well satisfied with the results if you do the work yourself, for Co-Var-Finish flows out freely and dries smoothly. It will prove so satisfactory that you'll get after all the bad spots in the house after you get started. One gallon is usually sufficient to cover 400 square feet, one coat. In ordering, state what finish you wish. Colors are cherry, rosewood, mahogany, walnut, light oak, dark oak, leaf green, clear (natural) and ground color. SEE COLORS ON PAGE 20 75W8110— Pint can.

Its attractiveness and beauty never tire one. White is an emblem of purity, and any room done in snow white enamel gives one a feeling of absolute cleanliness. A parlor or living room in which the woodwork and furniture are finished with Towerlite, and the draperies, floor coverings and upholstery in a dainty shade (and most any shade harmonizes with white) pre- sents an extremely rich appearance that cannot be accomplished with any other treatment. This you may say applies to any white. Not so. The por- celain-like texture of Towerlite gives that pleasing effect that is entirely absent in nearly all white finishes. Try a can of Towerlite and you will be convinced. Because of its smooth, glossy finish it is also easily kept clean, thus being thoroughly sanitary. Because of this quality Towerlite is used extensively in hospitals and public buildings. It is also the ideal finish for bath rooms, kitchens, and other rooms. Towerlite Will Make Dark Un- sightly Furniture Beautiful If the furniture or woodwork to which you wish to apply Towerlite is not now painted white, you should, in order to secure the best results, sand down the surface (the smoother the better) and apply one or more coats of No. 10J4 Inside Flat White Coverall House Paint. In other words, the surface should be thoroughly white, and in any event it is best to put on one coat of this flat white to safeguard against any coloring matter in the paint now on coming up through the enamel coat. The better the foundation, the better the finish you will get with Towerlite. If the surface to be finished is plastered walls that have been painted before, wash the surface clean with warm water to which you have added a little ammonia. Then after the plaster surface is dry, sandpaper smooth with No. 00 sandpaper and dust off the loose particles. Now apply two or three coats of Inside Flat White Coverall House Taint and after dry, sand lightly with No. 00 sandpaper and apply Towerlite. Covering Capacity of Towerlite One gallon Coverall Flat White will cover about 350 square feet two coats, and a gallon of Towerlite will cover from 200 to 250 square feet two coats. For applying Towerlite use our var- nish brush No. 75W618, and for the flat white we recommend Rubberset Brush No. 75W027. If you have only a small job such as a few pieces of furniture, we suggest our Fitch Brush No. 75 W 658. If you wish to enamel surfaces, either wood or plaster, that have not been painted before, treat the wood with a priming coat of Inside White Coverall to which you have added about a half pint of turpentine; but the plastered wall should first be coated with our Fresco Wall size No. 75W7S36. Then follow' with two coats of Inside Flat White Coverall, as hereinbefore described. 75W8432 — 54-Pint can. Weight, 1 5ft pounds. Per can $0.28 75W8433 — 1-Pint can. Weight, 2'A pounds.

Per can $3.20 Liquid Enamel Paint in Colors See Page 18 for Actual Colors Unsurpassed for Interior Finish On old woodwork or old furniture, you can accomplish surprising results by the use of these Superior Liquid Enamels and at a very small cost. They produce a perfectly smooth, glossy finish that is exceptionally easy to keep clean and may be washed repeatedly without injury. It is therefore thoroughly sanitary. It is an excellent finish for wood or metal. Just the finish for metal ceilings, kitchen walls, bathrooms, cupboards, casings and baseboards, furniture in fact, for all interior wood or metal work including metal bedsteads. Liquid Enamel Paint dries hard in 24 hours. It is tough and elastic, not easily marred or scratched, and will retain its lustre and beauty for several years. If the surface you wish to enamel has never l > n painted apply a coat of primer (our Inside Flat White Coverall House Paint) in the case > f new woodwork. If the surface is plastered wall, then apply first a coat of Fresco Wall Size N”. 75W7N30. In the event the wall has been papered, then remove the paper by thorough soak- ing. and scraping off with a putty knife or similar !< ■ 1. After giving a wall a chance to dry. sand the surface with No. 00 sand paper until smooth, and brush off the dust. Then treat with size as above described. Now apply two or three coats of Liquid Enamel Paint of the color you select, and you will have a job you will be pleased with. If the surface had been previously painted, and is in good condition, one coat may be sufficient to obtain the desired results. One gallon will cover from 200 to 250 square feet, two coats. If the color you paint with is white, or one of the light shades, and the surface you wish to cover is now painted some dark color, it is best to first apply one coat of Inside Flat White Coverall House Paint. L T se a good varnish brush. We recommend our No. 75WG18 for large surfaces like walls and woodwork, or No. 75WC50 for a small job such as furniture. As it is popular to have a “blue room,” a “red room,” or one finished in some other desirable color, Liquid Enamel Paint affords you the oppor- tunity of having just what you want in this line. Then, too, it is a durable finish — it will not crack nor peel, and retains its high lustre for a long time. Very pleasing effects may also be accom- plished by the use of harmonious shades, as for instance one shade for the side walls, with a lighter tint of the same color for the ceiling, and a darker shade for the woodwork and furniture. Liquid Enamel Pa'nt is a superior article, and because we quote it at this low price it should not be compared with cheap enamels that are offered on the market. It is a superior grade, else we would not put our name on it. As it is very easy to applv. anyone can use Liquid Enamel Paint with success. Black, White and Twelve Beautiful Tints By referring to page IS, you will be delighted with the beautiful colors in which Liquid Enamel Paint is furnished. It is so easy for you to change unsightly woodwork or furniture to a thing of beauty, and at so small a cost, that you can offer yourself no excuse for not immediately making the improvement. If you hesitate because you are not sure of the results you will get, write to us explaining the conditions and our paint expert will gladly give you any advice you request. Remember, any such service is cheerfully given, and is absolutely free to you. In ordering, state color you wish. For colors, see page 18. 75W8074 — 14 Pint can. Weight, 1 pound.

How to Paint and Varnish You Can Do Your Own Painting Note carefully the suggestions given on these pages, and follow closely the complete directions included with every can of oiu paint and varnish. It will be easy for you to do your own work with thoroughly satisfac- tory results. It is true that an experienced painter will do the work more quickly than you can, but unless time is an impor- tant factor, you can save the labor ex- pense. Painting or deco- rating. like every- thing else, is large- ly a question of using a little com- mon sense. With reasonable care and Follow weatherboards within easy reach across building necessary tools, you to avoid laps showing. can produce results that will be almost up to the professional stand- ard. Follow our instructions and you will find paint- ing so easy that you will consider it a pleasure. The Best Time to Do Outside Painting Always select a dry day. Be sure that the sur- face to be painted is thoroughly dry and free from dirt, grease, or old paint. If paint is ap- plied on a surface that appears dry but is water- soaked, the paint will peel or blister when the sun beats against it. Don't attempt to paint when the thermometer registers below 50 degrees, as the paint is likely to thicken, or begin what is commonly known as “crawling.” By crawling we mean the paint will collect in drops and not cover the entire surface, leaving many spots bare. Crawling also happens if the surface is too glossy. In such cases, sandpaper the gloss to a flat or dull surface. How to Estimate Amount of Paint Needed Take for an example a house 30 feet by 40 feet and 20 feet high. Front, 30 feet; rear, 30 feet ; one side, 40 feet ; other side, 40 feet ; total, 140 feet. The total multiplied by height, 20 feet, is 2.S00 square feet; 2,800 divided by 300 is 9. This shows that approximately 9 gallons of paint is required to cover two coats. This rule will vary a trifle according to the condition of the wood. If it has been painted once, or the surface is smooth and hard, less than the above quantity will do. A slightly greater amount will be needed if the building is new, or the lumber has never been painted. On a new building be sure to shellac all knots, and sappy or pitchy spots before applying the first coat. Also more paint will be needed if the surface is old and porous. If a roof is to be painted, the paint will prob- ably differ from that on the body of the house ; therefore, the measurements should be kept sep- arate. If one side of the roof measures 13 feet by 30 feet, multiply 15 by 30, which makes 450 square feet for the one side of the roof. Multiply this by two (to get dimensions of the two sides of the roof), or 900 square feet. Divide this by 450, as one gallon of paint is required to cover about 450 square feet, one coat. How to Use the Paint Be sure to stir the paint thoroughly. Cut out the entire head of the* can. Pour off oil into an- other vessel and stir the balance in tin* can thor- oughly, gradually adding the oil until all has bee*n returned. Then pour it back and forth from one can into another, until it is thoroughly mixed. All paints must be stirred from time to time while using to prevent the pigment from settling to the bottom. When painting new surfaces it is always well to mix a pint to one quart of pure raw linseed oil to the gallon of paint. Al- ways be sure to use pure raw linseed oil. When placing your order for paint it is always well to order oil at the same time. We handle onlytthe pure oil. Do not try to use cheap ochre for first coat, as it will surely give you an inferior job. Use our paints as per our instructions and you will have no trouble. Let the first coat harden or dry from four to five days before applying a second coat. Then use the paint just as it comes in the can, but be sure to stir it thoroughly and mix it as per our instructions. Floor Paints The floor must be dry, clean, and free from grease and dirt. To remove grease and stains, use turpentine or benzine. Shellac all knots, and sappy or pitchy spots before putting on the first coat. Interior Paints for Walls, Woodwork, Etc. Our Coverall House Paint is excellent for all kinds of inside painting. In kitchens, where the woodwork or walls are more or less greasy, wash with a solution of salsoda and warm water, using about one-half pound of salsoda to a bucket of water and add a little soap. Do not apply paint until the surface is perfectly dry. Our four-inch brush No. 75W701 is ideal for this kind ()f work. If the paint gets too thick, use turpentine only for thinner for interior use. Flat Wall Paint If the wall has been kalsomined it is necessary to wash off with a sponge and warm water. Then use our size No. 75W8738 before putting on the first coat of paint. If the wall has been painted before it will not be necessary to use the size. Use our Flat Wall Paint described on Page 18. Kalsomine and Fresco Colors Always be sure to remove any previous water coloring or kalsomine. This can be done with a sponge and warm water. A little vinegar or salsoda will help to soften the kalsomine. Before putting on fresh kalsomine, use our Sizing No. 73W8738. See that the sizing is perfectly dry before applying the kalsomine or fresco colors. Mix the kalsomine or fresco according to direc- tions on the can or package. Filling On new work, vvhere it is desirable to bring out the natural grain of the wood, it is necessary to first fill the grain to get a smooth and hard surface upon which to apply the varnish. For this purpose we furnish filler in both paste and liquid form. Hardwood Paste Filler For Open-Grained Woods, Such as Oak and Ash Thin our Filler with benzine or turpentine to the consistency of a thin varnish or cream, and apply witli a brush evenly so as to fill all the pores thoroughly. Let the filler stand fifteen or twenty minutes until the gloss disappears; then rub off with a cloth, hemp or burlap. Be careful to rub across the grain of the wood. Should the filler dry too quickly .for your work, add a little raw linseed oil. Wait from eight to ten hours before varnishing. Use our Filler No. 75W8210. This Filler settles less and requires less first coater in finishing than almost any other filler. It makes a very hard, smooth surface for the varnish to be applied afterwards. Liquid Wood Filler A transparent filler, for filling the pores of soft or close grained woods preparatory to var- nishing. It is also used over hard woods that have been treated with paste filler. Apply freely with a brush, and brush in well and evenly. Allow at least twenty-four hours for drying be- fore sandpapering. For new work, the surface to be coated should be clean, smooth, dry. and free from dust. L’se our Filer No. 75WS220. How to Use Varnish The most important thing is cleanliness. The surface to be varnished must be free from dust and dampness. Use a clean brush. The drying and hardening of varnish is more rapid and effectual where proper light and venti- lation are present. There should be no draft. The temperature of the room should be about 70 degrees. Select a dry day for your varnishing. If varnish becomes chilled by exposure, set can in warm water. If varnish thickens after opening, thin cautiously with pure turpentine only. Varnish should not be brushed out like paint, but should be laid on freely, and evened off with as few strokes as possible. Use a full brush, rubbing it out crosswise, if possible. Finish by laying it off up and down the grain. For floors or interior varnishing, our Brush 75W(il8 is the ideal one to use. For a less ex- pensive brush, use Brush 75WG21, or smaller sizes. For extra fine work, such as pianos, table tops, etc., use our Fitch brush. No. 75W525. In buying our Superior Y’arnishes, you are not only sure of good varnishes, but you are also sure of good results. Every can bears full and complete directions. Different woods require dif- ferent treatment, as do also old and new floors. Many varnishes have been unsatisfactory because the conditions were not right when applied. Full directions arc on the can, and it is well to read them carefully. To Varnish New Floors All open grained woods, such as oak, ash, wal- nut, etc., must be first filled with hardwood paste filler. Use our No. 75W8210, listed under Hard- wood Paste Filler, Page 4. Allow about two days for the filler to dry ; then sandpaper with No. 1 sandpaper, and dust thoroughly. Apply at least two coats of varnish, and allow two days between coats for drying. Before apply- ing the last coat, the surface should be rubbed lightly with steel wool or sandpaper, to kill the gloss and allow the last coat to “take hold” better. To Varnish Old Floors Revarnishing old varnish should not be done unless the floor is in good condition, and is not scaling or chipping off. If floor is in good condi- tion, fill all cracks and crevices with Crack and Crevice Filler, No. 75YV8228. Sand- paper the surface smoothly, clean thoroughly, then proceed with the varnish. If floor is not in good condition, the old varnish should Take about six boards and fol- j )e removed with low across room so laps will not show. Paint and Varnish Remover, No. 75W7799. Then clean the surface thoroughly with a cloth and benzine ; sandpaper well, and refinish as in new work. Do not varnish over wax. For floors that have been waxed it is necessary to remove every par- ticle of wax before applying the varnish. This can be dene by using steel wool and turpentine. To Varnish Close-Grained Woods Pine, maple, etc., require no filler of any kind. Simply apply three coats of varnish direct to the wood. Thin the first coat with a little tur- pentine. Use from one-half pint to one pint of turpentine to one gallon of varnish. Follow with second coat, and after allowing plenty of time for drying (in most cases two days), sandpaper lightly, and apply last or finishing coat just as the varnish comes in the can. Brush out well and evenly. Never use shellac or liquid filler of any kind for undercoat on floors to be finished with var- nish. Simply apply the varnish direct to the wood, except in case of hard and open grain woods, such as oak. ash. walnut, etc., which should first be filled with hardwood paste filler, as previously stated. Tfamlgornttyll/arid Read page 9, “Why Mix Your Own Paint?” Ready mixed paint is better. 7 How to do a Rubbed Finish When the last coat of varnish is thoroughly dry and hard, rub down with a rubbing felt and fir»e pumice stone. Dip the rubbing felt lightly in water, or raw linseed oil, and then dip the moist felt in the pumice stone and rub the sur- face up and down with the grain of the wood. A smoother, dull-rubbed finish can be obtained by using oil. Use our Rubbing Oil No. 75W 81281. Rotten stone is used for polishing varnished surfaces, after being rubbed down with pumice stone. Dip a piece of cloth or felt into Rubbing Oil or water, then into the rotten stone, and rub the surface to a polish. Finish by rubbing of! all the oil and powdered stone that may be left on the surface, using a soft flannel cloth. You can save time and procure a good job by using our Rubbed Finish Varnish No. 75W8058. To Remove Old Paint or Varnish On woodwork and furniture where the old fin- ish is in very bad condition it is best to remove the old paint or varnish to get a smooth surface, and thus obtain a good job of refinishing. Apply our Paint and Varnish Remover No. 75W7799 freely with a glue-set brush. After al- lowing it to stand for about five minutes remove the softened old coating with a dull knife or painter’s scraper. Use a wire brush for carvings or mouldings. For very old or many-coated work, apply a second coat of the Remover and treat in the same way. Then clean the surface with a rag, or piece of waste dipped in the Remover or benzine. Refinishing Old Woodwork or Furniture To change the finish on any woodwork or fur- niture, whether it needs refinishing, or you simply want to apply a finish to harmonize with other furniture or decorations, colored varnish or var- nish stains are remarkably good because the cost is low. They arc easy to apply (anyone can do the work) and the results are most gratifying. How to Use Co-Var-Finish or Varnish Stain This finish stands at the head, not only for refinishing, but also for new work, whether it be wood- work or furniture. 1 1 For new floors or woodwork, if the wood is open-grained like oak or ash. fill first with our Paste Filler; then, after al- lowing 24 hours to dry, apply two coats of Co-Var-Finish, any color you wish. But if you wish to retain the natural color of the wood, use natural Co-Var-Finish. Be sure to allow at least 48 hours between coats. Close-grained woods like maple, cherry, birch or ma- hogany require no filler. Just auoly the two coats of Co-Var- Finish each piece in a door 1 ?".* 8 ' 1 , as al,ove ex ’ before startmg on another For Q , d noQrs or piece so laps will not show woodwork, if in fair- ly good condition, touch up the bare spots, then apply the Co-Var- Finish. If in bad condition, or discolored, or if you wish to apply a lighter color, apply first a coat of Co-Var-Finish ground color; then apply the desired color of Co-Var-Finish. For finishing furnituic. sec that the surface is clean and dry, then sandpaper all rough spots. If some places are badly worn., touch up those places first, then apply Co-Var-Finish. Varnish Stain may be used in the same man- ner as above direction for Co-Var-Finish. How to Paint and Varnish; How to do Graining On woodwork or furniture that has been previ- ously painted, and an imitation of grain of wood is desired, this can be very easily accomplished by the aid of our handy graining tools. For these tools, refer to Page 23 of this book. To grain, apply first a coat of Ground Color Co-Var-Finish, after seeing that the surface to be grained is sanded smooth. Or if the surface is very rough, it would be best to remove the paint or varnish with our Paint and Varnish Remover. The ground color then completely covers the old finish and makes the necessary foundation for graining. One coat of ground color is usually sufficient, but if still rough, it is best to sandpaper this down until smooth and apply a second coat of ground color. Each coat should dry over night before the next coat is applied. Now put on a coat of Graining Compound to give color for the graining, being particular to spread on very thin and brush out smoothly and evenly, covering only a small surface at a time. As Graining Compound is quick drying, the graining tools must be used before the compound begins to dry. Apply Graining Compound with a brush that has not previously been used in var- nish, paint, or any preparation containing tur- pentine or oil. After allowing one hour for the graining to dry, apply Co-Var-Finish to obtain a gloss finish. For floors it is best to apply two coats of natural, allowing sufficient time between these two coats for drying. If you have never tried to do any graining be- fore, it is wise to practice a little by first graining a small panel, to try out the graining tools a few times before starting the work. Stucco, Concrete, and Cement Coating For coating and damp-proofing cement, brick or masonry surfaces, use our Concrete and Cement Coating. It comes in the package, ready for general use. See that the surface is dry, clean, and loose particles of sand, lime or cement removed, which can be done with a wire brush. Apply with a four or five-inch paint brush like ordinary paint. Two coats are required on all new work, and in most cases on old work, especially where pro- tection against dampness and discoloration is de- sired. The first coat should be brushed well into the pores of the surface freely enough to fill all pores and depressions. Not less than 3 days must be allowed for drying before applying the second coat. In applying the second coat, paint should not be reduced ; it should be applied just as it comes in the can after thoroughly stirring, and brushed out to an even, uniform coating. Any of the shades can be made lighter by the addition of our white Concrete and Cement Coat- ing. Screen Paint Stir thoroughly before using. Have the surface to be coated clean and free from dust. Apply evenly and freely. If the paint is too thick, thin with a little turpentine. Automobile, Carriage, Wagon, and Implement Paint The surface to he painted should be dry, clean, and free from grease and dust. If there arc any grease spots be sure to cleanse them with benzine or turpentine. It is always well to put a coat of shellac on any parts that arc likely to be greasy. It is not necessary to remove all of the paint on a job of this kind. AH that is necessary is to thoroughly sandpaper or use steel wool for rubbing down the body parts to a smooth finish. For Carriages and Automobiles use our Paint No. 75 W 7 812, with further directions on can. For Wagon and Implement paint use our Paint No. 75W7818, with full directions on the can. How to Enamel i To do a first-class job of white enameling, use our Towerlite White Enamel. Full directions for the use of Towerlite and Liquid Enamels are given on page 2. Bath Tub Enamel Stir thoroughly. Have the surface to be coated clean, smooth, DRY, and free from dust. Apply evenly and freely — brushing out very thoroughly. Use an Oval Var- nish Brush if pos- sible. One coat will usually be suf- ficient. If a higher finish is desired ap- ply two coats, al- lowing first coat to dry hard before ap- plying the second coat. For First Coat Work add at least 10 per cent of tur- pentine to the Ena- mel. ^If 'too heavy, thin only with turpen- tine. Brush entirely across the top so laps will not show Radiator Enamel Radiator should be painted with one coat of flat paint (free from oil) and one or two coats of Enamel. Stir Enamel thoroughly and apply with an ordinary flat bristle varnish brush. If it thick- ens, add a little turpentine — too much will kill the lustre. Be sure to remove all oil or grease from surface of radiator before applying or Enamel will peel off. Do not flow it on too heavily — two thin coats are far better than one thick coat. One gallon will cover about two hundred and fifty square feet of surface. How to Care for Brushes After you have finished using a brush, wash it out carefully with benzine. To keep a paint brush from getting hard put it in lard and when ready to use, wash it out with turpentine or soap and water. In this way you can keep a brush in good condition for several years. Whitewash and Kalsomine Brushes should be thoroughly washed in water and hung up to dry, otherwise the lime and dampness will rot the bristles in a very short time.

You Can Buy Our Ready-Mixed Paint For Less Money Paint is obtainable in three forms — dry pigment, paste colors, and prepared or ready mixed. All paint was formerly prepared by the painter, who would tedi- ously grind with a hand mill the dry pigment in oil, then laboriously mix that product with more oil, then add turpentine and dryers. At a later date painters found it more profitable, and much more satisfactory, to allow the manufac- turer to grind this dry pigment in oil by machinery. Some of the painters in those days fought hard against what they termed the “new fangled idea;” but who would now think of spending hours in grinding dry pigment in oil by hand to pro- duce a few gallons of paint? Today the same ideas prevail against scientifically machine-made paint — c o m m only called ready- mixed paint. If you have ever tried to mix paints, you know that you can make better paint by stirring the in- gredients for a half hour than for only fifteen minutes — and better still, if stirred for an hour. But a paint machine will, in only a few minutes, mix many times the amount of paint more efficiently than a man working a whole day on a few gal- lons. Then, hand-mixed paints can- not be made to the exact tint, be- cause tinting colors vary in strength. With prepared paints it is possible to have exact uniformity. Not only is the composition of paint an important matter — the method of manufacture is of equal importance. For illustration: If we mix to- gether zinc oxide, white lead, and barytes, adding the zinc to the lead and the barytes, a uniform mixture will not result. But if the lead and barytes are added to the zinc, per- fect results are obtained. Then, it is a serious matter as to the quality of the dryer — the quantity to be used varies with the quality. An extensive laboratory, under the charge of experts, is necessary for perfect results. Long experience has taught us just what ingredients produce the best and most economical paint. Hand-mixed paint is human labor with just good luck added, if anywhere near a fair paint mixture results. For manufacturing prepared paint we have the most modern machinery, which does the work better and at a much lower cost. Furthermore, the work is directed by skilled paint chemists, so that, with a given formula, exactly the same result is obtained each time. Many people still believe that if they purchase white lead and mix it them- selves with linseed oil they are then get- ting the very best white paint for ex- terior painting. Then, for colors, they simply add colors ground in oil to se- ( Continued in 3rd Column. ) HOW OUR PAINT IS MADE 1st Operation See first illustration on this page. The Mixing Machine Mixing pure linseed oil and pigments. This then is in a paste form. The paste then passes through pipes to the floor below. 2d Operation See second illustration on this page. The Grinding Machine The paste now passes into the center or eye of the powerful French buhr stones, where it is ground to an even fineness to obtain the best possible cov- ering and. wearing qualities. This finely ground paste now is carried through tubes to the mixing tanks on the floor below. 3d Operation Here illustrated by the third picture. The Mixing Tank Here the reducers are mixed with the paste by powerful agitators running at high speed. Through this' means we obtain absolute uniformity. cure the desired shade. It is true that zinc oxide combined with white lead makes a better paint, as the zinc adds strength and gloss to the paint film, and thus greatly increases its weather-resist- ing qualities. It is an absolute fact, however, that the greatest paint chemists, as well as the most reliable paint man- ufacturers, have found through ex- haustive tests that by adding proper pigments to the lead and linseed oil they can obtain greater durability and far better covering capacity. But, to get these results, these in- gredients must be very finely ground and thoroughly mixed by powerful machinery. Then, too, in buying paint in- gredients in the open market you have no assurance that you are get- ting the pure article. But when you buy your paint from us, we protect you against fraudulent adulterations and substitutions, for we test, in our extensive laboratory, everything that goes into the making of our paints. With our powerful and latest im- proved paint machinery, we not only make better paint than it is possible to make by hand, but cheaper, there- by saving you money. We recommend our ready-mixed paint to you because it is the best for the purpose. We are very care- ful about what we recommend be- cause of our broad guarantee, which insures ‘‘Satisfaction to you.” Why take chances on paint, varnish, or any material that is in a sealed can and that you know nothing about, when we make you so broad a guar- antee which you know means just what it says? The reason we can sell such good paint at prices so ex- tremely low is that in buying paint from us you are getting the paint direct from the factory to you, with only a very small profit added — much less than almost any one else could do business on. Therefore it must be plain that when we sell you a paint at $1.3S it would usually cost you about $2.00 or more. A great point in favor of the paint in ready-mixed form is that the materials w r ould be run through the mill together and would undoubtedly be more uniform than if the small consumer prepared his own mixture, while also in the latter case there would be greater liability to poor results, due to excess of japan. Machine-made paint is ground so fine and so thoroughly that hand-prepared paint is no comparison. Why then mix the paint yourself? You cannot mix it to the proper spreading consistency. You know exactly what you are getting when you buy guaranteed paint made by Montgomery Ward & Co. Why Mix Your Own Paint ? Tilonlgotrw'ujll'ald To remove paint from the hands, use Jewel Hand Cleanser. Page 30. 9 Why This Paint is so Satisfactory By repeated tests and exhaustive ex- periments, we have found a superior formula that has proven to be excellent in wearing qualities and in covering ca- pacity. The best formula alone will not make good paint; the process for man- ufacture must also be right. The ex- tremely fine grinding of the pigment is very important and for that reason we spare no expense in obtaining ma- chinery that will do the very best work. The mixing is equally important. There must be uniformity throughout. When the correct mate- rials are thus combined, the greatest possible de- gree of durability and the greatest possible cover- ing capacity is obtained. In making this paint we set the mark of high qual- ity to be attained, and make the paint come up to that high standard. The price then is set according to the cost of production. For this reason, when there is a marked increase in the cost of materials used in the making of our paint, we must necessarily change the price accord- ingly. Likewise, when there occurs a substantial reduction in the cost of production we give you the benefit bv making a proportionate reduction in our prices. Coverall House Paint The Kind That Wears Easy to Spread Experience is not necessary to apply Coverall Paint. It is ready mixed, but thoroughly ground, so that it spreads very easily. By old methods it was necessary to have the experience of an expert painter to prepare the paint to proper consistency; but Coverall is so carefully prepared that any one follow- ing the simple directions on each can Low Cost of Coverall House Paint It costs but little to paint a building with two coats of Coverall House Paint — so little that you will be surprised. See what a small amount of money is required to paint the houses shown on this and the opposite page. The low price at which we furnish this high class paint makes it possible for everyone to keep his house looking new. Coverall House Paint will not blister, crack, peel, chalk, or scale. Thus your building, painted with Coverall, is thoroughly protected against decay. Coverall is the best pro- tection you can put on your property. $12.78 PAINTS THIS HOME TWO FULL COATS.

Use Coverall House Paint for Out- side and Inside Coverall House Paint is made in strict accordance with a formula that we know to be correct, one that science and the test of time has proven to be right. Thus we can safely guarantee every can of Coverall. The ingredients that enter into the making of this paint make it especially suitable for outside use. It is also well adapted for inside use on walls (wood or plaster), ceilings, wood- work, cupboards, etc. Coverall House Paint will outwear many higher priced paints; none will cover more surface or finish with a bet- ter gloss. When you buy this paint you have the assurance that it will give you the service you have a right to expect — qualities which are found only in good paint. It dries with a fine, smooth gloss. You arc certain to be pleased with it. will do a first-class job of painting. Coverall is always ready to be applied. You can do your own painting in spare time, thus saving the cost of labor. You wish your house to appear at its best so as to favorably impress every- one. You want your home to be attrac- tive and pleasing. With shades that are attractive, so that at first sight the house may win the admiration of the passerby, with tints that harmonize and prove to be more pleasing the longer the house and surroundings are studied, with colors that will wear well for several years, this may be accomplished with Coverall House Paint. Increases Cash Value of Your Property When your house is attractive and pleasing, its real cash value is increased. Add to the value of your house, as well as its beauty, by painting with Coverall House Paint. The value of a building is thus often increased far beyond the amount spent for paint and labor. Did you ever notice how hard it is to find a buyer for a house that is in need of a coat of paint? Coverall House Paint Protects Against Decay Good paint costs noth- ing in the long run, be- cause it saves more than its cost by preserving the surface to which it is ap- plied. An un painted building, or one painted with inferior paint that fades, chalks, or peels off, does not speak well for the owner. If he can af- ford to paint, and don’t know that it will pay him, it is our duty to show him that money so spent is a very profitable investment. If you neglect to paint your buildings, you will, in a few years, have to re- build. Protect them against decay and save this loss. Paint investment is the greatest prop- erty insurance on the farm — greater than fire or tornado insurance. Decay is re- sponsible for more property destruction than fire and storm combined. Four Points to Consider in Selecting Paint The cost of any article you buy in- volves other considerations than just the price. Paint is no exception to this rule. In selecting paints there are four distinct points you should consider: The Cost 1st. The cost per gallon. The fact that another paint is being offered you at, say double our price, does not mean that it has double value. The difference in price may be due to the fact that our paint goes to you di- rect from the factory. You pay one small profit added to the very first cost. 10 Make your home more attractive — our enamels will do it. Tfan/ipmtyll/a'id 9@ Coverall House Paint Quantity Required 2d. The quantity required to cover a given surface. This brings us right back to one of the reasons why COVERALL house paint is superior. It is the covering ca- pacity that you should particularly give attention to. Do not buy paint by the gallon. Buy it by the square yard. Durability 3rd. Its durability. Not just how long will a paint last, but how long will it look well. If the paint wears well, but fades, you will have to repaint in a short time or you will be ashamed of the appearance of the building. Further- more, faded paint on a building means depreciation in the value of your prop- erty. Appearance goes a long way with most people. Wearing Quality 4th. Will it wear? In other words, will it wear down smoothly, so that a good surface will.be left for your next coat, even after the lapse of a number of years? If the paint wears out rough it will cost con- siderable to go over the surface with a scraper to smooth down the surface when repainting time comes. The Color to Paint Your House In selecting colors for your house, you should take special care to choose such shades as will harmonize with your neighbors’ buildings, and yet not be the same color. Remember, too, that light shades lend prominence to a building. If there are many trees and shrubbery that tend to hide the house, the lighter colors will make it stand out more clear- ly. Then, too, you should consider the style of architecture of your house and the surroundings. If your home is a cottage, the lighter shades are always best; but if you have a large and stately residence it is best to use the medium or darker shades. When using more than one color for the body, do not ap- ply a darker color above a lighter one. A dark color always creates the im- pression of something strong and solid, hence it should be placed below a lighter shade. Covering Capacity Assured When you buy your paint, look to the covering qualities also. Don’t buy sim- ply by the gallon; buy by the square feet to the gallon. Gives Perfect Satisfaction Why does a gallon of Coverall cover such a large area as 250 to 350 square feet to the gallon? Coverall, like all our paints, is made in our own factory, which is, in reality, a great big laboratory under the constant direction of expert paint chemists. The ingredients that enter into the making of this paint are crushed and ground between powerful mill stones to minute particles — ground in oil, so that they are more than coated with oil. It’s the proper combination of a proven formula that determines the covering qualities. It is the surface covering qualities, as well as the great durability of Coverall House Paint, that makes it so desirable, and such a big seller with us. Quality Kept High — Price Kept Low The necessary qualities of a good paint are not overlooked or sacrificed to se- cure lower cost or greater covering ca- pacity. Coverall posseses that brilliant lustre that attracts the attention of everyone — then the color is uniform. Coverall is a paint made for SERVICE — the very best, we believe, that can be made. Each can is exactly as repre- sented. Should Coverall paint, properly applied, fail to cover 250 to 350 square feet, two full coats per gallon — should this paint crack, blister or peel off — or should it fail in any way to give you the proper service, we will furnish new paint free. When You Buy Coverall House Paint You Are Safe There is a reason why we are safe in placing such a broad guarantee on Cov- erall House Paint. The low price docs not mean that this is a cheap composi- tion paint. It means that we give you the advantage of the low cost which we secure by the use of thor- oughly modern machinery and that we sell to you from the factory direct. There is no chance for variation in quality or color of Coverall House Paint. Our facilities are such as to enable us to furnish you with best quality at a price lower than you could possibly prepare the paint yourself. Also you have the protection of our expert paint chemist, who is constantly on the job to see that no improper ingredient enters into the making of any paint upon which we permit our label to appear. How to Figure the Amount of Paint You Need To estimate the amount of paint you need, add the number of feet in width, front and rear, to the num- ber of feet in length (on each side) of your building. Now, multiply the total by the height, to the eaves, in feet. This will give you the total number of square feet of surface. Then divide by 300, and the result is the number of gallons of paint you will require under ordi- nary conditions. Add to this from one to two gallons (according to style of house.) for cornices, gables and porches. One gallon of our Coverall House Paint will cover approximately 250 to 350 square feet, two coats, or about 450 square feet, one coat. For Illustration Front 20 feet Rear 20 feet Side 30 feet Side 30 feet Total 100 feet Multiply by height, 20, equals 2,000 square feet. Divide by 300, indicates about 7 gallons. Add, for cornices, gables, porches, etc., one gallon; total, 8 gallons of paint required. (Continued on Page 12) IfonlijimwXyll’aid ?(2r d»1 o PAINTS THIS HOME TWO FULL COATS. Size of House, 25)4x31.

If it has been painted once, or if the surface is smooth and hard, less than the above quantity will do. If the building is new and the lumber has never been painted, or the surface is old and porous, a slightly greater amount will be needed. On new buildings, where 3 coats are applied, use one to two quarts of pure raw Linseed Oil to each gallon of paint for the primer. Where only two coats are applied, use from a pint to a quart of pure raw Linseed Oil according to the shade used. Old work, that has not been painted for a long time, should be treated same as new work described Coverall House Paint above, but when two coats are applied, use quart of pure raw Linseed Oil to each gallon of paint for first coat only. If you do not care to do your own figuring, send us the dimensions and par- ticulars about the buildings you con- template painting — the condition of sur- face, when painted last, etc. — and our Service Department will figure it out for you and tell you how much paint you will need and just what it will cost you to do a good job.

Our plant for the manufacture of Cov- erall Barn Paint is most modern, and contains the latest improved machinery. If any new or better machinery is pro- duced, we lose no time in adding it to our equipment. Coverall Barn Paint is made from high-grade metallic pigments, or nat- ural oxides, ground by powerful ma- chinery, and thoroughly mixed in pure linseed oil and the necessary dryers. It is weather-proof, rain-proof, rust-proof, and will not crack, peel or blister under the severest, most trying weather con- ditions. It Will Pay You to Keep Your Barn, Silo, Sheds, and Fences Painted It is unnecessary to tell you that you should keep your barn painted. You know that it is to your interest. It means preserving it against decay. If you neglect to paint your barn, it will in a very few years either have to be replaced' by a new building or will re- quire expensive repairs. Investment in paints is the best insur- ance you can get. We manufacture our own paint. We buy and test every in- gredient under the supervision of the very best paint experts. That is why we can place such a strong guarantee on it. The MONTGOMERY WARD & COMPANY guarantee means some- thing. Getting your order is only half the transaction. We are satisfied only when we know you are. Our highest duty is serving our customers, and until you are fully satisfied with every pur- chase our work is not complete. Our interest in your order ends only when the goods satisfy you. Once you buy COVERALL BARN PAINT you will want no other brand. Repeat orders arc proof of the superior merits of the paint. One trial will convince you. Coverall Barn Paint A Good Investment For service, protection, economy and beauty of finish, it is the logical paint to use on your barns, out-buildings, fences, tin, shingle and rnetal roofs. You don’t have to be an expert to apply this paint. You can do a first-class job even though you are not a painter. Read on page 7, how easy it is to do your own painting. You surely will want to take advantage of these money-saving prices. You will be surprised at the small cost of painting your barn with Coverall Barn Paint. Coverall Barn Paint Will Cover 300 Square Feet Two Coats Its covering capacity, united with its enduring and preserving qualities, makes it one of the best paints it is possible to produce for the purpose, and one of the most economical. One gallon will cover approximately 300 square feet, two coats. When you come to buy paint for your barn and other buildings, be sure to look to the covering qualities. Don’t buy the paint simply by the gallon; buy it by the number of square feet to the gallon. Coverall Barn Paint, like all of our paints, is made under the supervision and constant direction of our expert paint chemist. Not only is the grade and quality of all the ingredients that enter into the making of this paint carefully guarded, but the pigments must be crushed and ground to extremely mi- nute particles. This is done by the use of powerful millstones, and in oil. The very fine grinding of the pigments and the thorough mixing of them in oil pro- duces this great covering capacity. That, also, makes it easy spreading and uni- form in color. Thus you will see we have been so careful in the manufacture- of Coverall Barn Paint, that we have produced an article which will give you the service that you have a right to ex- pect. Also Well Adapted for Use on Fences, Sheds, Roofs, Etc. Because of the wonderful wearing qualities and durability of Coverall Barn Paint it is wonderfully well adapted to use on other buildings besides barns. In fact, it is perfect paint for use on fences or roofs. The saving effected repays you many times over the actual cost in the paint. You can also use this paint on metal or shingle roofs, on gut- ters, water tanks, drain pipes, cornices and wind mills. When you see a place where every fence, shed, building or structure of any kind is thoroughly covered with paint, the newness and brightness of every- thing on the place attract you. At first consideration the cost of the paint may be thought considerable. It is merely a small item and soon pays for itself many times over in the pro- tection against decay, to say nothing about appearance. Our Low Price Does Not Mean An Inferior Paint Our price is as low as a really good, reliable barn paint can be sold for. The real economy in barn painting is not in buying cheap paint, but in buying good paint at reasonable prices. Bear in mind that it costs exactly as much to apply cheap paint as it does to apply good paint, and that the cost of application represents fully two-thirds of your total painting expense. In buying paint, the big point to consider, then, is not the initial cost per gallon, but rather the covering capacity of each gallon, the wearing qualities, and what will be the condition of the surface when ready for repainting. In other words, you should buy paint service rather than paint ma- terial. State color wanted.

In buying Tower Brand Paint, you are sure of both quality and low cost, and doubly sure of the wearing qualities when it is backed by Montgomery Ward & Co. The Best Paint is Always the Cheapest The best is always the cheapest; espe- cially is this true when it comes to paint. The cost of spreading poor paint offered by others is no less than that of applying Tower Brand. But if you have to re- paint your house three times as often with other paint as with Tower Brand, how much do you save by purchasing cheap paint? On the cost of paint alone you have saved nothing — on labor you have lost money. Then why buy cheap paint? We will not make cheap paint because it would dissatisfy our customers who buy it. When you put Tower Brand Paint on your home, it will not only please you the day it is applied, but for years after. Service, Beauty of Finish and Covering Capacity These are the three prime requisites of a good paint. Service — That is what Tower Brand will give you. It will stay on your build- ing for years before it shows wear, and when new painting is necessary, the sur- face will be as good as when the paint was first applied. Poor paint will, in a few months, begin to fade, chip, peel, blister or crack. Your building will be- come an eyesore; your work will be lost; you will have to go to the expense of another coat of paint — but even then you cannot get the very best results with the best paint, because the poor paint will have left the surface rough. For Beauty of Finish — Tower Brand cannot be surpassed. Unlike many other paints, its beauty is lasting. When a first-class paint like Tower Brand is used, the finish on your building will be a thing of beauty for years. Covering Capacity — One gallon of Tower Brand House Paint will generally cover 350 square feet, two coats. There is a reason for this wonderful covering capacity. A most careful selection of the paint materials docs not tell the whole story. The manufacturing meth- ods must be right; the most modern machinery must be used; the paint must be ground and pulverized to minute fine- ness, arul ground all the while in pure linseed oil. The finer the grinding, the greater the covering capacity when com- bined under the proper formula. The Paint That Has Served Our Customers Nearly 50 Years One Gallon of Tower Brand House Paint Covers 350 Square Feet, Two Full Coats Think. of it — 350 square feet of ordi- nary building surface covered, two full coats, with only one gallon of Tower Brand House Paint. It gives you a re- markable combination of paint qualities — it combines a very smooth, even, thin spread with unusual toughness and dura- bility. You can put any paint on thin, but it won’t be a real protection to the painted surface unless it actually has the weather and wear-resisting qualities. Tower Brand gives supreme satisfaction. It is the paint for the most practical painter. It meets the most exacting re- quirements. Cost of Tower Brand Tower Brand costs a little more than some of the best ready-mixed paints of- fered by others, but it is worth the dif- ference many times over. For the little difference in price, Tower Brand will give you a great big difference in the satisfaction and service you will get. Tower Brand’ is actually offered to you for less than most paints would cost you over the counter. Why not make the double bargain — get the better paint at the saving price? Why take a chance on paint, varnish or any material that you’re not sure of when you can buy our guar- anteed paint that always gives satisfac- tion? A Formula That Eliminates Paint Faults Tower Brand is made under a formula that science and the test of time have proven to be correct. Each ingredient is chosen to perform a definite function. Every gallon of Tower Brand is uni- form and the quality very high. We have our own laboratory where skilled chemists are constantly at work keeping up our high standard of quality. Value of Satisfaction It is worth much to know that you are getting satisfaction. You can be confi- dent of this when you buy of Montgom- ery Ward & Co. We have complete confidence in Tower Brand Paint be- cause everything in the paint is right. It contains exact proportions of all the ingredients that are needed to make a perfect paint. The paint film has great strength and gloss which gives it won- derful weather-resisting qualities. The linseed oil is the life of the paint, but only pure linseed oil is efficient. Then the pure gum turpentine makes Tower Brand Paint spread easily. In buying paint from us, you are getting it direct from-factory-to-you with only one small profit added — much smaller than almost anyone else could do busi- ness on. Perfect Paint Service Means Paint Economy Tower Brand is sold to you with a distinct understanding that it will give you a maximum of service. It is made under the direction of our paint expert — a man who watches every detail. His supervision assures that every gallon of this paint will give you perfect service. You take absolutely no risk when you buy Tower Brand. You get full meas- ure, full value, full service — and a guar- antee that makes satisfaction doubly sure.

Our stain is a combination of creosote oil and the best wood preservatives known. It penetrates the wood — prevents decay and produces that soft, mottled finish now so much in demand. Shingle Stain is easily applied. One gallon will cover 100 square feet, two coats, when applied with a brush. Two and one-half gallons will cover 1,000 shingles two-thirds of their length if dipped. An Important Point to Remember. Too much stress cannot be laid on the necessity of preserving your shingles, and thus adding years to the life of your roof. With the price of cedar as high as it is today, new shingles will cost vou many times more than the stain necessary to protect them.

Of course you want it painted or heavily galvanized wire, so it will last for years, but how about the posts? No fence can be better than the posts that support it. When the posts decay and break off, the service of the fence is gone, at least until new posts are set, and the fence rebuilt. All this means added expense. Consider, too, the possible losses that may occur by stock breaking through into the grain field, or straying away and the con- sequent loss in time and labor in getting them back. Use WOOD PRESERVATIVE on your fence posts; it will preserve them for many years against decay. The cost is small, and the saving is much. Fence posts are increasing in value, as timber becomes more scarce. The cost for Wood Preservative is only from 3 cents to 5 cents per post. It doubles the life of posts and in the saving of labor alone you will be well repaid. How to Preserve Fence Posts To treat fence posts, or any other tim- ber, first remove all bark, then apply Wood Preservative with a brush, as freely as the wood will absorb it, using two or three coats. To obtain better re- sults. however, apply the preservative hot for it then penetrates the wood more readily, and evaporates the moisture more effectually. In the winter espe- cially, we recommend that Wood Pre- servative be heated to a temperature near the boiling point. If you have a tank that you can use for a dipping tank, you will obtain the very best results by dip- ping the posts or timber into the hot oil. If you have no such tank, apply with an ordinary wire-bound paint brush. The timber to be treated should be dry. Do not apply the second coat until the first is dry. Use plenty of the Wood Pre- servative on the ends of the posts or timbers. Wood Preservative THE OLDEST X BEST KNOWN Used also for preserving Silos, Planking, Sills, Joists, Tanks — in fact any wood subject to decay or the ravages of insects Decay of fence posts and telegraph poles, you may have noticed, is often more rapid near the surface of the ground. This is due to insect life or fungus growth that eats into the wood and thus opens it up for more rapid de- cay. Insects and fungi (such as moss) will not work upon or attach themselves to wood that has been treated with Wood Preservative. Protect Your Chickens Against Lice, Mites and Disease As Wood Preservative is a strong but harmless disinfectant, it is used, with great success, for spraying poultry build- ings, inside and outside. This oil is fatal to both lice and mites. The use of Wood Preservative will free your buildings of these insects, which sap the life out of your poultry. This oil likewise is a great preventative against contagious diseases. Rid the hens of lice, — they will be more healthy and profitable. Wood Preservative is a Refined Creosote Oil Wood Preservative is nothing more or less than Refined Creosote Oil. This oil has been an acknowledged wood pre- servative from time unknown. The fact that railroads and steamship companies always have and still use it, to preserve and protect against decay, such property as ties, water tanks, bridges, trestles, wharfs, docks, boats and barges, is evi- dence conclusive of its unquestioned merit. Notwithstanding the many adver- tised, fancy-named preservatives now be- ing placed before the public, Creosote Oil still maintains its superiority. There is no other oil, or combination of oils that will penetrate and impart to the wood, that lasting, preserving qualit 3 ' as will this oil. Use it on plank walks, sills, joists, wooden fences, posts, tanks, wind mills or silos. It will not only give you the best results, but it is also inexpensive. There is no reason, now, for any build- ing, fence or other structures to rot or decay. Treat the posts, sills, joists, and such timbers as are unduly exposed to water or dampness, with Wood Preserva- tive. A Disinfectant for Hog Pens The disinfecting qualities of Wood Preservative make it ideal for spraying hog pens and barns as well as poultry houses. The liberal use of Wood Pre- servative in this manner, with precau- tions taken for cleanliness, is a wonder- ful preventative of contagion or the spreading of disease. As Wood Preservative is the enemy of disease germs, and such insects as lice and mites, it is likewise an enemy to the corn weevil. Paint the inside of corn- cribs and granaries with Wood Preserva- tive to prevent damage by weevil. Mice, rats or ants will not attack or damage woodwork painted with Wood Preserva- tive. Ropes, canvas and nets treated with wood preservative become water-proof, and more durable, yet remain soft and pliable in all seasons. Use it on timbers of any kind that are subject to decay or insects, especially on woodwork, either above or below the ground or water. It is splendid for so many uses. You should keep a supply of this oil on hand all the time. 75W7756 — 1-gallon cans. Per can.$ 0.68 175W7757 — 5-gallon cans. Per can 3.25 375W7758— ka barrels (25 gallons).

Will therefore never crumble nor is it affected by heat or* cold. Makes no difference where you use it, Trowel Cement will stop any leak or crack and it will stay stopped. Ordinary cement sets hard and dries out by evaporation, even- tually loosening and dropping out. Not so with Trow r el Cement, be- cause it is exceedingly elastic and will last as long as the surface on which it is used. It is very adhe- sive ; so much so that it actually becomes a part of the surface on which it is applied. Really it makes the roof one solid sheet that cannot leak. Where there is only a small leak, plug up the hole the would with putty, you same smoothing down the edge with a trowel or putty knife. In case of a very large hole, put on a patch of tin or sheet iron, nail the edges down and cover with cement to the thick- ness of about !/4 inch.

Applied to a smooth surface to an even thickness of % inch, 100 pounds of cement will cover about 125 square feet. Applied over the entire surface of a shingled roof, a little more of the cement will be needed on account of the unevenness of the surface. It is excellent for this purpose. Unless the roof is in a generally bad condition, Trowel Roof Cement need not be applied more than from a sixteenth to an eighth of an inch thick. When so spread, 40 pounds should be sufficient to cover 100 square feet of surface on a smooth roof. There are so many uses for Trowel Roof Cement, that you should always have a supply on hand.

Will not show heel marks or scratches. We do not tell you our Floor Paint is good for painting both inside and outside floors. The requirements of a paint for outside floors and for inside are entirely different. So are the conditions to which they are subjected. How then can the same paint be used satisfactorily for both? Ordinary floor paints must dry over night. In addition, floor paint must be able to stand con- stant washing and scrubbing. To secure these results, a class of driers and varnishes must be used that will stand exposure to elements. Lead and oil, as commonly mixed by hand, do not prove satisfactory for this work. Our Inside Floor Paints combine the most dur- able and the best wear-resisting pigments known. These are ground in tough, elastic oils, which make a paint that will not readily show bruises, scratches, or heel marks. It dries hard in a short time, with a brilliant gloss, and can be washed and scrubbed without injury. This is just the paint you want for your kitchen floor. It is the only paint you can afford to buy, if you want the best. It is the most durable and the most economical Floor Paint on the mar- ket today. Cheaper paints may look well for a time, but after a few months your floor begins to scar and becomes unsightly. Use our Inside Floor Paint and be sure of satisfactory service. One gallon will cover 250 square feet with two coats. We recommend our brush 75W553 for this work. Be sure to state color wanted. For colors see opposite page. 75W8100 — One quart can.

Walls and ceiling finished with our Flat Wall Finish, or Pur-E-Tone Hot Water Kalsomine and Fresco Colors are particularly well adapted for stenciling. To get the most artistic effect in stenciling, the colors must blend perfectly. This you can accomplish easily. Simply take some of the same paint, or kalsomine used on the walls and add a few drops of brown at a time, being careful not to get it too dark. If too dark there will be too much contrast to be artistic. If your wall color is a gray, use for stencil- ing the same material adding a little ‘black for a darker shade, or a little white for a lighter shade. The stencils are made from heavy oiled paper. Also are used on plain or ingrain wall papers, portieres, curtains, table covers, etc. Weight, 3 ounces to 10 ounces. When ordering . ,, . . .... ....

Interior Decorating Material Decorate your dining room, transoms, doors and bathroom windows with our Stained Glass Paper. It will make your plain glass win- dows look like real Stained Glass. The ef- fect is most beautiful and artistic. This Glass Paper takes the place of cur- tains. It keeps out the rays of the sun and at the same time lets in the light with the most cheerful effect. It can be made to fit any shape or size of glass. Some of the reasons why our Stained Glass Paper is preferable to Stained Glass: 1st — It does not cost one-tenth as much. 2nd — The richness of color is superior to the average stained glass window. 3rd — The colors are so blended that they harmonize more perfectly than in stained glass. 4th — The brilliant rays of the sun passing through stained glass are at times very annoying. Not so with our Stained Glass Paper, yet it admits the light perfectly. 5th — You cut our Stained Glass Paper to fit any size or shape of window. It is splendid for vestibule doors, side lights, and transoms. For bathrooms it is much better than curtains. Excellent for back windows that have an unpleasant outlook. Not affected by heat or cold. May be washed. Will last many years.

This paint is approved by the Fire Underwriter’s Laboratories as a fire retardant. Fire-proof Cold Water Paint is particularly adapted for interior painting of factories, mills, warehouses, etc., where a sanitary, fire-proof and light-reflecting finish is desired, at a nominal cost. For coating interior of stables, chicken houses and granaries, it will keep them clean and wholesome. For cel- lars and store rooms it is most sanitary. It comes in dry powder form and mixes readily with cold water. Five pounds of the powder will make a gallon of paint, which, when applied with brush or paint sprayer, will cover 200 sq. ft. This paint, under reasonable conditions, will not crack, peel or rub. and will leave the surface in good condition for re-coating. Cold Water Paint is much better to use than whitewash; it will not rub off when dry. It is thoroughly sanitary and may be used for any purpose for which whitewash is adapted. Try it also on the walls and ceiling of your summer kitchen or summer cottage. It does not by any means take the place of a good oil paint, and should not be used with this idea in mind.

Tractor lubrication requires an entirely different oil than that used for ordinary gas engines, auto- mobiles or steam engines. Mineral oil is the best. And the best mineral oil for tractors is one with a high fire test and a good viscosity. We have proven in our own laboratories that a ruby colored oil, of syrup consistency, is best for tractor lubrication and hundreds of our customers have proven in actual practice, that this is the best oil for them to use in their tractors. The oil we quote here is the result of our long continued careful experiments. It is absolutely safe — it reduces friction — it saves fuel — and it saves oil. 74W7628— 1-gallon can $ 0.47 174W7629 — 5-gallon can 2.00 174W7630— 30-gallon (wood) 9.60 174W7633— 30-gallon (steel) 10.50 174W7631— 50-gallon (wood) 14.50 1 74 W7632— 50-gallo n (steel) 17.00 Steam Cylinder Oil (Extra Valve) 5 Gallons $1.95 A high-grade, dark amber colored Oil, adapted for use in either high or low pressure cylinder.
