A GUARANTEE 
 
 THIS GUARANTEE MEANS SOME¬ 
 THING TO YOU, MR. PAINT BUYER 
 
 1007 PURE 
 
 All materials are put through chemical and micro¬ 
 scopic tests. The chemist is very particular as to what 
 is used. All material must come up to our standard. 
 This branch of the work is overseen by our chemical 
 expert. Or. H. B. Eigelberner. This is why we can 
 guarantee the 100 per cent purity of every can of 
 Tower Brand Paint. 
 
 The word pure, according to the 20th Century 
 dictionary, means “free from contact with that 
 which weakens, or pollutes; contains no foreign 
 material; tree from adulteration.” When we 6ay 
 our paint is 100 per cent pure, we mean there is 
 nothing in it that will in any way pollute or 
 weaken the paint. The mixing lias a great deal to 
 do with the purity of our paint. With our modem 
 machinery we ure able to mix the different in¬ 
 gredients thoroughly. It is u very simple matter 
 for any person to buy the different parts that go 
 to make up our pure paint. But do you imagine for 
 one minute that he could mix them as thoroughly 
 as our modern machinery? And aguin, are you sure 
 that vou are getting pure, sublimed white lead, and 
 pure linseed oil ? Can you test them so as to he able 
 totell the difference between the pure and the 
 adulterated ? We have expert, long-experienced 
 chemists who perform th is work for us. They watch 
 every step in the process of manufacture. They 
 are your guides and safeguards. It is through their 
 watchfulness that Tower Brand Paint is always 
 100 per cent pure. 
 
 Montgomery Ward & Co. advocated the use of 
 paint years ago. In our Tower Brand we have 
 aint that is guaranteed to be absolutely 100 per 
 , pure.

 If you are interested in saving money, 
 it will be well worth your while to read

 of this broad, liberal, binding guarantee. 
 Study all the different details. Learn 
 the different parts of Pure Paint so 
 that you may know why we are justi¬ 
 fied in giving you such a binding 
 
 guarantee. We call your attention to the different 
 points necessary to distinguish a pure paint. 
 We tell you exactly of what our 100% Pure Paint 
 is composed. Anyone can tell you they sell Pure 
 Paint. We not only say it, but prove it to you con¬ 
 clusively. We show what the pigments are composed 
 of, state clearly what the liquids are. The covering 
 capacity is almost beyond belief, yet we prove to you 
 thatit is absolutely correct. Weshowwhvourpaiut will 
 not peel, chalk, blister or rub off. Bear this in mind, 
 as it is the whole secret of why you should use Pure 
 Paint. It means everything to you. It is the life 
 and soul of our guarantee. If we could not say this, 
 our guarantee would be without weight. 
 
 But we wish to emphasize these points and make it 
 clear that unless we do all we guarantee, we will give 
 new paint free of charge. Think what this means to 
 you. You cannot afford to miss a word of it. When 
 using or buying paint you should always keep this in 
 mind, that no guarantee could be stronger, or 
 clearer,—that we not only protect your pocketbook,

 In tho mnnuforture of pure paint it Is necessary to 
 uso pure United oil, puro gum turpontine and puro 
 Japan dryer. The linseed oil forms a skin around 
 each particle of solid mattor and binds them together. 
 The turpentine is used as a thinner, which gives tho 
 cr.int a free and eaay flow, and the Japan dryer causes 
 the paint to dry rapidly.

 NO OTHER PAINT GUARANTEE IN THE 
 WORLD IS AS STRONG AS THIS ONE 
 
 You no doubt have read a great many 
 guarantees of paint,but do you think that 
 
 there is any guarantee in the world as strong as this 
 one ? We show you step by step the different in¬ 
 gredients that go to make up our Pure Paint. 
 After reading these pages you will know why it 
 is better to use sublimed white lead than corroded 
 white lead. You will know that too much of zinc 
 oxide injures the paint rather than helps it, and 
 that our chemists guide you in seeing that just 
 enough and no more is added. You will know 
 that the use of pure linseed oil instead of substitutes 
 makes the paint stronger and smoother. A great 
 many paint manufacturers, as we will show, use 
 cheap, inferior substitutes, which i3 nothing more nor 
 less than adulterated linseed oil. It is the use of 
 inferior material and unequal proportions that makes paint 
 crack, blister and peel off. We show you why it is better to use 
 pure turpentine and pure Japan dryer. Our guarantee is just as 
 safe, just as dependable, as a United States government bond. 
 
 Years ago, when the market was full of substitutes, Mont¬ 
 gomery Ward & Co. stood out for pure articles. Just to 
 refresh your memory, look back at some of our old catalogues. 
 You will note that we were among the first to make and advo¬ 
 cate the use of Pure Paint. We did not do this simply 
 became the public asked for it; we started long before they 
 ever seriously thought about it. It is not our policy to 
 wait until the public demands an article, but to get 
 to the point where the public looks to us to decide what 
 they should demand. "We have created a demand for pure 
 paint. The only difference between now and then is that 
 to-day, with the help of experiments and tests, we have 
 perfected a paint that we not only guarantee to be 
 absolutely pure but guarantee it will do the work exactly 
 as we have stated, and therefore we can safely say that our 
 guarantee is the strongest in the world.

 Think what this means to you, Mr. Paint Buyer. 
 Imagine how much less quantity you will have to 
 buy in order to paint your property. There will 
 be not only a saving of quant ity, but also a saving 
 of time. Our paint has a smooth and easy flow, 
 that makes painting a pleasure instead of un 
 effort. 
 
 When we tell you that our paint will cover 300 
 to 350 square feet you may depend upon the accu¬ 
 racy of our statement. As an actual test, we have 
 painted a surface, 400 square feet in dimensions, 
 two coats, with one gallon of our Tower Brand 1UO 
 per cent Pure House Paint. This test was 
 performed on our own property. 
 
 Sublimed White Lead and Linseed Oil in the 
 proper proportions give this great covering cnpac 
 lty. These ingredients when properly combined, 
 and mixed, give a smoother, freer flow to the 
 paint. They cause greater elasticity and at 
 the same time strengthen the paint. On 
 the whole, don’t you think that a paint 
 with the covering capacity of ours, coupled 
 with the strong guarantee of the materif* 
 it contains, is one that you should use? The prl

 after the surface had been exposed about 
 five years. Note smoothness of surface. 
 
 This surface was painted with about 25 
 per cent sublimed white lead and 75 per 
 cent zinc oxide. Note cracking. This is 
 due to excessive use of zinc oxide. Our 
 chemist protects you against this cracking, 
 as he watches carefully to see that just 
 enough and no more zinc oxide is added.

 pores by SUBLIMED WHITE LEAD. This 
 photograph i9 magnified GO diameters. Our 
 Tower Brand Paint will not peel off or 
 blister, because it not only adheres to the 
 surface, but penetrates the wood itsdf. 
 Traces of Sublimed White Lead have been 
 found in wood long after it has rotted away. 
 
 The chemist accepts sublimed white lead 
 because of its superiority. In tests, it Iras 
 shown that it will not become affected by 
 hydrogen sulphide gas, which is plentiful 
 in smoke, sewer gas. and in decaying ani¬ 
 mal •or vegetable matter. It has no chem¬ 
 ical action on the oil. and therefore 
 does not shorten the life of the paint. The 
 fineness of sublimed white lead enables it 
 to be mixed more easily and prevents cak¬ 
 ing in cans. It is non-poisonous. 
 
 He accepts XX New Jersey zinc oxide 
 because it is the best known material that 
 will perform its functions. It is free from 
 impurity, is not poisonous, and builds up 
 life of the paint. 
 
 He accepts linseed oil because it forms 
 a skin which holds the pigments together, 
 thus assuring a smooth and lasting sur¬ 
 face. Also, the pure material i9 better able 
 to perform its functions than any adulter¬ 
 ations. 
 
 He accepts gum turpentine because of Its 
 purity. It is tapped from the pine tree and 
 treated as you would maple syrup. It is 
 received by us and used in this pure state. 
 
 He accepts Japan Dryer because it in¬ 
 sures uniformity and proper drying, with¬ 
 out detriment to the life of the paint. It 
 increases the gloss and firmness, and in¬ 
 creases the moisture-resisting surface of 
 the paint coat. 
 
 Our Materials are the Only Ones 
 
 That Justify Us in Giving so Strong a Guarantee 
 
 Our chemist has labored many years testing and experimenting with different paint in¬ 
 gredients. Ho has finally demonstrated to his entire satisfaction that the ingredients we now 
 use are the best. If we were to use any other material we would be unable to give a guar¬ 
 antee as strong or binding as this one. 
 
 What would happen if we were to use pigments other than sublimed white lead, many of 
 
 them not only being inferior for paint purposes, but also less expensive. The results would 
 he that the paint would not possess the same fineness, beauty of finish, easy working qual¬ 
 ities, covering capacity and thorough incorporation of the pigment and vehicle that enables 
 the paint to penetrate the wood thoroughly giving a smooth and lasting job. The paint would 
 become brittle, crack and rub off or else scale, because of results of chemical action char¬ 
 acteristic to such pigments, or it would be subject to losing its lustre and become discolored, 
 as the result of fuel or other gases common In the atmosphere. 
 
 Our chemist finds that using any brand of zinc oxide other than XX New Jersey brand 
 is injurious to the life and strength of the paint. It causes the paint to become hard, brittle 
 and often 'crack off. It takes away the strength of the sublimed white lead. It also was 
 found to contain material that affected the strength of the linseed oil. the general result 
 being less covering power than in the XX New Jersey zinc oxide. 
 
 There is no greater function of the chemist than to see that pure linseed oil is used. If 
 a substitute is used, he can detect it at once, because a substitute of pure linseed oil is 
 nothing more nor less than diluted linseed oil. Diluted linseed oil will naturally not per¬ 
 form the duty it is supposed to as well as the Pure Linseed Oil. The skin film which is 
 
 formed will not be so lasting, and the sublimed white lead and XX New Jersey zinc oxide 
 will not be bound together so firmly. This produces a paint that will not adhere to the wood. 
 It will also chalk, and above all. its use materially lessens the covering capacity of the paint, 
 as the flow is not so free and easy. 
 
 Pure gum turpentine is one of the important parts of 100 per cent pure paint. Our chem¬ 
 ist is verv careful to see that no substitutes are used, as they detract from the value of the 
 pigments. Its action in paint is to produce a free and easy flow. Many manufacturers use 
 
 what is known as wood turpentine. This is made from the stumps of trees, after the pure 
 
 turpentine has been drawn off. It has a very obnoxious odor, and is easily detected when 
 used. It cannot possibly give as good results as the pure material. 
 
 Last but by far not the least, is the Japan Dryer. The substitutes of this important mate¬ 
 rial are many, some being extremely poisonous. Many of the substitutes are merely resinous 
 compounds made by adding resin and acids to the original to make it cheaper. It is ex¬ 
 tremely important to have the paint dry properly and uniformly without detriment to the life 
 of the paint and to insure this Japan Dryer is selected with the greatest care. 
 
 Our chemist guides and protects you in the kind of material used in our Tower Brand 
 Pure Paint. He knows the functions and properties of each part used in its mixture. He 
 discards those that would pollute the mixture in any way and casts them aside, since there is 
 no room for impure materials in the make-up of our Tower Brand Pure Paint. We give too 
 strong a guarantee to take chances on using any substitute, and the only material we dare 
 use must be the purest and best. The chemist watches over this at all timea Every order 
 placed for materials to be used in the mixing of our paint must be examined and tested before 
 it is allowed to be placed in our store rooms. For this reason we are able to give our guar¬ 
 antee. Without the utmost care and vigilance in the finest detail of our mixing process we 
 could not give such a strong guarantee. With the care and close attention we give to guard 
 the purity of our paint, we are willing to challenge the world.

 This surface was painted with corroded

 is alsoi a discoloration, owing to the effect 
 of gases that arise from sewerage and de-

 This photograph was taken three years 
 later, from the same surface as the one 
 above. Note the cracking and “shriveling-

 entirely. The wood has begun to turn black, 
 and traces of rot a re found. _ 
 
 He rejects corroded white lead, because 
 it will not perform the duties that are de¬ 
 pendent upon it. It will turn black when 
 it comes in contact with hydrogen sulphide 
 gas. It acts upon the oil. which is the life 
 of the paint, thereby destroying the full 
 value of the paint. Because of the acid 
 in corroded white lead, it has an effect 
 upon the tinting colors, causing them to 
 change. Lastly, it is of a poisonous nature. 
 
 He rejects other brands because of their 
 impurities. They have not been perfected 
 ns yet. They are poisonous, and tend to 
 take away life and hiding capacity of paint. 
 
 He rejects adulterated oils or gloss oils, 
 because they contain resinous compounds. 
 They become affected by heat, do not hold 
 the pigments together and lessen the cover¬ 
 ing capacity. 
 
 He rejects wood turpentine because it is 
 not pure. It is made from stumps of trees, 
 cut up and boiled; also from sawdust and 
 shavings. Its process is similar to that of 
 corn syrup or hickory bark syrup. It also 
 has a very bad odor. 
 
 He rejects resinous compounds because 
 they do not possess the proper drying 
 qualities. They soften the pigments and 
 prove a detriment to the life of the paint.

 M ACHINERY that is perfect, methods that are perfect, 
 processes that are perfect, will do 100 per cent per¬ 
 fect work—IF the materials are perfect and IF the 
 men running the machines—the workmen—are perfect. 
 
 Now we KNOW that our machinery for making Tower Brand 
 Paint is perfect—the best that is made—because our ma- 
 
 chines are the net result of generation after generation of paint making. We 
 KNOW that our process is perfect—recognized to be the best in use today— 
 or else we could not afford to make our binding guarantee. We KNOW the 
 materials in Tower Brand Paint are perfect — because we prepare them in 
 our own factory and buy them from reliable manufacturers that guarantee 
 their products. But WHO can say that MEN are perfect -that human hands 
 will not err ? NO ONE. BUT here is what we CAN ao—we CAN and DO employ one of the most 
 expert paint chemists in the land! THIS MAN GUARDS EVERY SINGLE STEP THAT IS 
 TAKENIN THE PROCESS OF MAKING TOWER BRAND PAINT! THEN, when onceina great while 
 a man in the paint factory makes a mistake, quick as a flash that error is CAUGHT! The chemist 
 with never ceasing vigil—with eye and brain that penetrates to the innermost depth of each step in 
 the science of paint making—at once sees the SLIGHTEST ERROR. HE knows who MADE it. 
 
 He knows WHY that error was made. He knows how to REMEDY it—IT WILL NEVER HAP¬ 
 PEN AGAIN—because workmen in the Tower Brand factory are allowed just one mistake. When 
 a man makes his second mistake he GOES! Thus through this process of paint making, the chemist 
 guards each step. Mistakes there are—but few—because the workmen are skilled and expert. But 
 NEVER does a mistake get out of the shop. NEVER is a can of Tower Brand Paint that leaves this 
 shop, anything but PERFECT. 
 
 Here are the steps that are taken, and every one of them taken under the sharp searching eye 
 of expert chemists. 
 
 « FIRST—With the chemist on guard, comes the mixing step. Sublimed white lead and zinc 
 oxide, 50 per cent of each are mixed in huge tanks with pure linseed oil—enough to make a thick, 
 paste consistency. Paddles in these tanks revolve for about two hours, until the substance is 
 thoroughly mixed. 
 
 SECOND—Under the chemist’s vigil comes the grinding step. The material passes by gravity 
 down a chute into the hoppers, which are directly above the grinders—on the floor below. In these 
 hoppers the mixture is kept in motion and fed slowly into the grinding stones. The grinding stones 
 break up each particle of lead and zinc—and thus each and every particle of the pigment is com¬ 
 pletely incorporated with the linseed oil. 
 
 THIRD—With the chemist still watching, comes the FINAL mixing step. From the grinders 
 the mixture is pumped into a huge storage tank. Here the remaining portion of linseed oil, the tur¬ 
 pentine, and the Japan dryer is added. And here we have the whole substance of pure paint. 
 
 FOURTH—With the chemist and paint expert busily employed, comes the tinting and shading 
 step. By gravity the pure paint flows from the storage vat into the tinting and shading tanks. In 
 these the coloring matter is added. This is one of the severe tasks for the paint chemist and the 
 
 f iaint expert. There are no stated formulas as to how much coloring matter should be added—no 
 aws to follow. Good judgment, clear eyesight, and long experience are necessaryl to do this cor¬ 
 rectly. Only one man in thousands can do this work correctly. Our paint chemist and paint 
 expert are the two men who have succeeded in becoming expert out of the thousands who have 
 tried—and who have failed to become experts. 
 
 FIFTH—The filling step, with the chemist standing in back of the men. The moving paint (the 
 paint is continually being stirred from the first step to the last) is drawn from the tinting vats by 
 faucets, through screens, into cans. 
 
 SIXTH—The “capping” step, the chemist inspecting each can. The cans of paint pass along on 
 a conveyor, and while moving, a marvelous machine puts on the covers, and solders them with one motion. 
 
 SEVENTH—The labeling step, the chemist making sure that each label is correct. Labels are pasted on the cans bearing both 
 the formula and tint of the paint that is contained in the can. 
 
 EIGHTH—The buying step the chemist still standing guard—guaranteeing your satisfaction. This step is up to you. You have 
 seen this wonderful process, you have seen the absolutely pure materials that go into the paint, you have seen the CHEMIST-THAT- 
 CAN’T-BE-FOOLED, as he watchesevery step, finally you have for your protection the strong binding guarantee that Montgomery

 HOW YOU CAN EASILY CHEAT 
 
 YOURSELF 
 
 In the first place, the covering capacity 
 of Tower Brand Paint is 300 to 350 square 
 feet. This means that one gallon of paint 
 will cover a surface of these dimensions 
 with two coats. Then again, the mate¬ 
 rials are of so strong a nature, and our 
 process so complete, that we guarantee 
 this paint to last longer than any known 
 brand. As we have shown you, our 
 chemists guard carefully the composition 
 of the material, while a practical paint 
 man watches over its tinting and coloring. 
 
 You know that our paint will not crack, 
 peel, blister or rub off. We have shown 
 you that it is possible for us to guarantee 
 this paint to you simply because of the 
 character of material used by us, and our 
 process of mixing. One hinges upon the 
 other. We could not get along without 
 the zinc oxide, yet, if too much were 
 added, it would take away the whole value 
 of the paint. The same is to be said of 
 each of the other ingredients. 
 
 Then, again, even if our surface capacity were not so large, 
 you must take into consideration the year service. Think how 
 long tii'- pure product will last Think <>t how much labor 
 you will save. This labor is money to you, and when we save 
 jou lubor. we save you money. This alone is an argument 
 that would convince the most exacting of persons. Think of 
 how our pure paint is composed, and how it will adhere to 
 the surface Is it not better to have a paint which will be¬ 
 come u part of the wood itself, than just to have one to 
 plaster on n.s you would so much mortar? Tills is exactly 
 what happens when you use cheap paint. Perhaps it may 
 look good the first season, or perhaps it may even hold its 
 color up to flic last, but It can not jKxsslbly hold its strength 
 t* Its adhesiveness, as a good paint will, because the material 
 Hint performs this function Ls not there. The particles of 
 (mi int are so large that it ls impossible for you to do any¬ 
 thing except "paste" them on. You cannot compare cheaper 
 bnuulM with our 1 0 0 per cent Pure Paint. The sweetness of 
 low price never compensates for the bitterness of low quality. 
 
 But Remember! You Must 
 Some Day Repaint 
 Your Property 
 
 When you find this necessary, look around and examine all 
 the other paints I bat are offered j u Notice the difft rent 
 tests. See Just how far one gallon of cheap paint will go. 
 Ank the dealer whether the Ingredients are pure and the 
 process the rigid one and then decide. You surely will not 
 put paint on %• >•» property that will. In time, spoil Its actual 
 value; neither would you use a paint that lias not the life-

 Paint without a label on the can deno¬ 
 ting its contents, is usually cheap paint. 
 You can buy it almost anywhere. Pure 
 paint is composed of the ingredients that 
 you find in Tower Brand of House Paint 
 and nothing else. You can buy 100 per 
 cent pure paint in very few places. 
 Most of the people who sell 100 per cent 
 pure paint want a fifth to a half more 
 than we ask you for Tower Brand House 
 Paint. 
 
 Now, it often happens, that men cheat 
 themselves by painting with cheap paint. Let’s 
 see just what would happen il you bought paint 
 for a low price—paint that you were not abso¬ 
 lutely sure about—and painted your house. 
 
 You paint your house—it looks fine. Just 
 the right colors—neighbors like it—costs a little 
 more than you thought it would (had to buy 
 five more gallons than you thought you would) 
 — but on the whole, a very good looking job. 
 Mother likes it, too. 
 
 The next scene is 2 years later. Snow is most 
 all gone, ground is soft, you plough through the 
 dirt in the side yard and look at the house- 
 first time you’d thought about the house paint 
 since winter began. 
 
 “G-e-e-ee,” you softly exclaim to yourself (the 
 whole side of the house is peeling as if it were 
 just getting over scarlet fever)—“what in the 
 wor—Say, Mother!! ”—Ma hustles down the back 
 steps and joins you in your survey of the 
 house. You both of you look at your sorry 
 looking house—paint cracked and peeling off. 
 Little Jimmie comes running out and mashes a 
 big, dried, bubble of paint right below the 
 kitchen window. Then you get good and mad, 
 right clean through. You have a right to, be 
 cause You Have Cheated Yourself by Buying Cheap 
 Paint!! 
 
 You didn’t know thaC when you bought the paint—but 
 no-w, what are you going to do. There is only one thing you 
 can do. That's to scrape ofY the old paint (an expensive 
 aiul tedious job, when you ought to be taking the time to pre¬ 
 pare for spring planting), and paint the house again. And. 
 if you're a wise man, you’ll find out why that paint cracked 
 in such a short time, and what paint won’t crack or peel, 
 but will wear down and wear down—giving you service all 
 tlie time—just like tho sole of a good shoe. Now. if you 
 don't know these tilings, we'll tell you. Here is how you 
 cheated yourself—how you can easily cheat yourself on the 
 paint question if you don’t watch out—and how you can avoid 
 cheating yourself in the; future: 
 
 Cheap paint is not only made of cheap and inferior com 
 position, and substitute pigments, together with adulterated 
 oils. ben/Jne and water, but it is also lacking in method 
 of manufacture. Fine grinding, thorough mixing by power¬ 
 ful machinery and the close supervision of the expert paint 
 chemist are necessary in good paint. Because of the 
 lack of these things, poor paint will crack and scale, and 
 nothing on eartli will prevent it. One hundred per cent 
 pure paint must be made of the materials and by the 
 formula that we show you on the preceding page, which is 
 the result of nearly a century of research and chemical 
 investigating, and Ls based on the very highest authority 
 known to science. This Ls the only formula that will stand 
 all weather testa, the kind you find in our Tower Brand 
 House paint, and which is standard. You can be safe in 
 inlying tills paint, because Montgomery Ward & Co. guar¬ 
 antees it to he 100% pure paint. Besides, Tower Brand 
 House Paint costs less than other pure paints on tho market 
 and even less than some cheap paints!! Think of that!! 
 
 Do you feel safe in buying Tower Brand House Paint now? 
 Of course you do. Read tlie guarantee again. 
 
 Two Reasons Why You Pain! 
 
 Tho first and main reason for using paint is to protect 
 proporty. Structural material, whether wood or metal, un¬ 
 less protected from the elements will quickly decay. Wood 
 will rot, metals will rust. A coat of paint Is a coat of 
 armor- and moro. It protects wood from tho onslaughts 
 of weather and also by being absorbed Into tlie wood pre 
 vents rot and decay. By properly protecting your build 
 lngs with paint, they will last Indefinitely. To do this 
 you must have a good paint. You must not only consider 
 the cost of tlie paint Itself, but also the labor in putting it 
 on and the service it gives. Tlie most important fact Is. 
 to see that you get a point that does not peel, blister, or 
 rub off. as this means a big expense the next time you 
 paint. 
 
 Tho second reason is to beautify your buildings. This not 
 
 only increases the value and appearance of your property, 
 but gratifies the noble instinct c*f civilized man for beauty. 
 Pleasant and beautiful surroundings generate a feeling of 
 content that makes life worth living. Again, you may wish 
 to sell tlie property at some future time, and a good job 
 of painting will greatly increase the value. It means half 
 the sale, and at a price far In advance of wliat you would 
 get otherwise. 
 
 Don’t be deceived when some one tells 
 you he can sell you a paint that is cheaper 
 than 100 per cent pure paint. Y'ou must 
 not only take into consideration the price 
 per gallon, but also how much service 
 you can get per gallon. Do you get 300 
 to 350 square feet of surface out of a 
 gallon of commou, cheap paint ? Our 
 pure paint is guaranteed to cover this 
 amount of surface. 
 
 What does this mean to you? Do you take Into consider¬ 
 ation the fact that our paint i 3 composed of materials that 
 are tlie standard of the market, while the cheap paints are 
 composed of materials, tlie composition of which are not good 
 enough for you to know? Some of the cheap paints contain 
 r ' ' vhich I s the oiily tiling the high cost < f living has not 
 affected. If you buy a gallon of cheap paint, you no doubt 
 get one gallon, but do you get one gallon of pure paint ma¬ 
 terial—do you get a full gallon of surface—that is. in com¬ 
 parison to our pure paint, and lastly, do you get a gallon 
 of sendee? 
 
 Now. just for the sake of argument, we w!ll oppose that 
 the cheaper paint did have the covering capacity that our 
 pure paint lias, would there still be cause for y u to use the 
 cheap paint? No wise man ls going to risk putting a cheap 
 paint on his property, for once this paint has worn off. which 
 it does very quickly, tho surface is exposed to tlie weather. 
 In a very short time he will discover that ills property has 
 begun to rot and wear away, and when this happens, it is 
 not long before the property must all l>e repaired. Just think 
 what it means, then, to use our 100 per cent pure paint, 
 which protects tho surface for years. 
 
 Estimate the Amount oi 
 Paint you Need 
 
 Add the number of feet front and rear to the number of 
 feet in length (on each side). Multiply the total by the 
 height in feet and this will give tlie total number of square 
 feet of surface. Then divide by 3 00 and the result is the 
 number of gallons. One gallon of Montgomery Ward & Co.'s 
 Tower Brand Mixed Paint will cover from 3 0O to 350 
 square feet, two coats, or about COO feet, one coat. 
 
 Here is an example: 
 
 Front . 20 feet 
 
 Bear . 20 feet 
 
 Sido . 30 feet 
 
 Sido . 30 feet 
 
 Total .100 
 
 Multiply by height. 18 
 
 Divide by .300 1800 square feet 
 
 About 0 gallons 
 
 This rule will vary a trifle, owing to tho condition of the 
 wood. If it has lieen painted once or if the surface is 
 smooth and hard, less than Hie above quantity will do. If 
 tlie building is new and the lumber lias never been painted, 
 a slightly greater amount will oe needed. 
 
 Weight of Paints 
 
 If you order merchandl.se to the total weight of 100 lbs. 
 or more you secure advantage of the hundred pound rate. 
 As you doubtless know, it cost9 just as much to ship 2 5 
 pounds by freight as it does 100 pounds. Estimate the 
 total weight of the paints you order from this table, then 
 fill out your shipment to 100 pounds with groceries or other 
 merchandise.

 PREVENTS WET AMD 1 DRY ROT—PRESERVES THE SHINGLES 
 Stain the shinalex on your house 
 and you accomplish two things. First 
 you so thoroughly protect your roof 
 from rot and decay that it will last 
 twice as long. Second, you improve 
 appearance of your home at least 
 
 
 lOO Per cent. 
 
 To accomplish either of these is 
 worth a good deal, yet you can attain 
 both for a trifling amount. 
 
 This stain is prepared from a 
 formula that has been proved sci¬ 
 entifically correct. This formula is 
 the result of a long series of tests. 
 It was our aim to make the very best 
 shingle stain possible to produce and 
 in this preparation you are without 
 question offered It. The colors are rich 
 and they will last. The price Is so low 
 that you cannot afford not to protect 
 
 and beautify your roof. 
 
 You may feel that it is best to hire a professional painter to apply our paints, but It Is certain that 
 you or any member of your family can apply our shingle stains. No experience is necessary. 
 
 The sliingles may either be dipped or the stain may be applied with a brush. 
 
 These shingle stains are the correct thing to use on the bungalows that are now so popular. The 
 rough wood quickly absorbs the stain and you secure that rustic effect which is so pleasing. 
 
 CREOSOTE is known and acknowledged to be the best preservative for wood of all kinds. All the 
 
 railroads are using it on their timbers. Our Shingle Stain is made with creosote oil and does e\ ../thing 
 that creosote will do. In addition it tints the wood, giving it a soft pleasing inuJn. m stain con¬ 
 tains no poisonous ingredients that will dissolve In water. One gallon will cover 10O square feet, two 
 coats, when aonlied with a brush, or 2V£ gallons will cover about 1 °no shingles two-thirds of their 
 length. If dipped. You will find samples of the ten shades on opposite page.

 Think for a moment of the weal that a floor varnish receives. At every step 
 tho hard, steel shod heel of a nan’s shoe strikes a ninety pound blow. Furni¬ 
 ture is scraped and dragged back and forth over it. The floor is often scrubbed. 
 Small particles of sand arc dropp-d and ground into ft. 
 
 Think how good a varnish mus' be to withstand this everyday use and abuse. 
 
 We make special mention of ir Diamond "W” Floor Varnish, because after 
 numerous experiments we have firfected a varnish that it will be economy to 
 use on any floor in your houso. We put our reputation back of this varnish and

 I F AFTER you secure a dress or suit you grow tired of it you 
 can easily discard it and secure another. But when you give your 
 house a careful painting with good paint the job is done and out 
 of the way for several years. 
 
 Therefore plan your painting carefully. Before finally deciding 
 on the paint for your house go oiff and look at it from all angles. 
 Picture it, in your mind, painjfcd in different shades. If it 
 is in the country, look at the snrouD dings. As, for example, to 
 paint a house with no trees arofyd it, a vivid red would make

 Art Finishes make new furniture out of old at a 
 very small cost. They can be used satisfactorily 
 for every kind of furniture and wood work, floors, 
 halls, picture frames and mouldings, doors, win¬ 
 dow frames, etc. Mission Art Finishes do not raise 
 the grain of the wood. For elegance of effect and 
 beauty of tone they are unsurpassed. 
 
 You Have Nine Attractive Shades to Select From 
 
 Mission Art Finishes are sold in the various shades shown on this 
 page. Almost any effect can he produced in different woods by properly 
 following directions. The addition of a small quantity of Black Flemish 
 to any other Mission Art Finish will deepen and enrich the tone to suit 
 the user. If lighter shades are desired, thin with Benzine or a small 
 amount of Turpentine until the correct effect is obtained. This selection 
 of Mission Art Fin ish has been made with a view to obtaining the most 
 beautiful and desirable results in home decoration and interior finishing. 
 HOME DECORATION COSTS LITTLE. 700 to 1000 square feet can be 
 covered by one gallon of Mission Art Finish. Much depends on the 
 texture of the wood. This estimate is a conservative average. Extensive 
 home decoration is therefore possible at a very small cost.

 it an eye-sore. When a house stands 
 alone' try to make it blend nearly as possible with the background. In painting in town always take into 
 considpration the houses on either side. If nearby houses are sombre, then paint your house with bright 
 colors and make it stand out. If other houses are bright, then select for yours a harmonious combination 
 that will bring out its individuality. But above all give the matter thought and study. Select a combination 
 that will always prove attractive and satisfactory to you—one you will not grow tired of. 
 
 YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN PAINTING AND DECORATING 
 
 You can do the work yourself if yon want to and have a perfectly satisfactory job. True, it 
 requires some knack, but after all it’s mostly a question of common sense, and with reasonable care you 
 can paint your own p'remises and produce results that will be almost up to the professional standaid. 
 But don’t despise the professional painter. lie has the knack and will do a good job every time. lie will save 
 paint, spread it on evenly, and do it much more quickly than you can, but, as we say, you can do it yourself, 
 and we feel sure you will be thoroughly satisfied with the results. Thousands of our customers are buying 
 their paint from us and painting their houses, barns, ice houses and tool sheds in the most economical manner.

 After the first coat has dried, a couple of days putty all 
 nail holes, cracks, etc. 
 
 Give all knots or sappy parts a coat of orange shellac. 
 
 For the priming, or first coat, reduce the first coat Avith 
 strictly pure raw linseed oil in the proportion of one part oil 
 to four parts paint for outside Avork. For inside work re¬ 
 duce Avith pure turpentine in the proportion of one part of 
 turpentine to eight parts of paint. 
 
 Brush out Avell and let it dry thoroughly before applying 
 the second coat. AHoav ten days or two Aveeks for drying. 
 
 For the second coat, apply the paint in its natural thick¬ 
 ness, brushing it out Avell. If too thick to brush Avell thin 
 with a little turpentine. 
 
 What Not to Do 
 
 Don’t attempt to paint durii|4 Avet or cold weather. The 
 paint av ill scale and flake if yoiffldo. Don’t use a cheap prim¬ 
 ing coat. Satisfactory rcsultsfpannot be obtained unless a 
 primer of good quality is used. If you must economize 
 cheapen the finishing coat. 
 
 Don’t use too many colors or colors that are too striking. 
 By using different shades of the same color you will obtain 
 a more pleasing effect. 
 
 Don’t use anything but absolutely pure linseed oil and tur¬ 
 pentine for thinning. We guarantee our turpentine and oils 
 to he absolutely pure. 
 
 Don’t use old or dirty brushes if you Avant a first-class job. 
 It pays to buy a good new brush for important work. 
 
 Don’t choose your colors Avitliout first carefully consider¬ 
 ing the effects that Avill be produced by the different color 
 combinations. 
 
 Don’t overlook the fact that the paint must be thoroughly 
 stirred from the bottom before applying. Otherwise the up¬ 
 per part of the can Avill be too thin and the lower part too 
 thick. 
 
 Don’t hurry your painting. Give each coat plenty of time 
 to dry before applying the next one. 
 
 Don’t neglect to brush house paints out thin and to put 
 enamels on very thick. 
 
 Don’t use anything but the best paint—M. W. & Co.’s 
 Tower Brand. It wears longer and better, covers more sur¬ 
 face and is therefore cheaper in the end.

 Linoleum Preservative 
 
 Ward’s Linoleum Preservative, the wonderful preparation which pre¬ 
 serves new Linoleum or oil cloth and restores old, is not like floor 
 varnish—has none of its drawbacks. 
 
 It will not crack or blister, heat and cold do not affect It. A child 
 can apply it and It will dry over night. 
 
 It makes floor covering twice as easy to clean, because it mops 
 easily and Is ulossy without being sticky. 
 
 If your linoleum or oil cloth is dulled in color and the pattern is 
 worn nearly away, you can make It like new at small cost by applying 
 Ward's Linoleum Lustre, or If new, preserve color and pattern and add 
 to the wearing power of the floor covering so It will last almost in¬ 
 definitely. One quart will cover 160 square feet.

 We are now manufacturing in our laboratory a finer qual¬ 
 ity of Shellac than we have ever handled before. It is a 
 
 6hellac that we can most sincerely recommend. It is guar¬ 
 
 anteed absolutely pur© and maufactured solely from the finest 
 grades of Imported Gum Shellacs and specially Denatured 
 
 Alcohol. The Alcohol is 190 per cent proof, a far better 
 grade than is found in most of the Spirit Varnishes on the 
 market. 
 
 WARD’S WHITE SHELLAC is manufactured from Pure 
 
 Bone-Dry Bleached Shellac, which, being absolutely free 
 from moisture, insures a varnish that will last and preserve 
 its color. 
 
 WARD’S ORANGE SHELLAC is very fine and light in 
 color, and is absolutely free from the sediment and ilirt so 
 often found in various brands of Orange Shellac Varnish. 
 
 One gallon will cover 300 square feet, one coat. We 
 
 carry in stock gallon, half-gallon and quart sizes, and call 
 your special attention to the low prices.

 VARNISHES 
 
 OUR VARNISH DEPARTMENT is now under the direct super¬ 
 vision of our chief chemist, insuring varnishes of merit and uni¬ 
 formity. Our prices show us a very small per cent of profit, and 
 quality considered, we are giving the best value in the country. 
 
 WE HAVE NOW SECURED the same uniformity, the same high, 
 unsurpassed standard in our varnishes, that has so long characterized 
 our paints.

 YOU CANNOT SECURE VARNISHES ANYWHERE that are any 
 purer, any more carefully made, than those we offer you. Give; 
 
 |them a test and you will find that they will wear as well or better 
 than varnishes for which you have paid from 5 0 cents to one dol¬ 
 lar a gallon more. 
 
 COMPARE PRICES and you will see that you can secure nearly 
 two gallons of varnish here for what a single gallon will cost you 
 over the dealers’ counter. 
 
 In the following list will be found varnishes suitable for all pur¬ 
 poses for either new or old work. It will pay you to carefully se¬ 
 lect the one varnish that is best suited for the work you have in 
 hand. 
 
 GENERAL DIRECTIONS 
 
 To obtain a polished finish, the varnish must first be rubbed, then it 
 must be allowed to stand nut less than 2 4 hours, then polished with 
 Furniture Polish. Apply the polish with very soft cotton waste or 
 cheese cloth. 
 
 Rubbing is done with rubbing felt and fine pumice stone, using either 
 water or oil; dip the rubbing felt lightly in the water or rubbing oil, 
 then dip the moist felt in the pumice stone and rub the surface up and 
 down with the grain of the wood. A smoother or more velvety dull 
 rubbed finish can be obtained by using the rubbing oil instead of water. 
 HOW TO FINISH NEW WORK 
 
 OPEN GRAIN WOODS, SUCH AS OAK, ASH, ETC., must be filled with Paste Filler. You will find our Hardwood Paste Filler 
 described on another page. This filler must be given not less than 24 hours to dry before any varnish is applied. For close grain woods 
 such as pine, maple, cypress, etc., apply first a coat of liquid wood filler which you will find described on another page. Allow at least 
 36 hours to dry, after which apply the varnish in regular manner and follow directions regarding particular varnishes used as to drying, 
 rubbing, etc. 
 
 DIRECTIONS FOR REFINISHING OLD WORK 
 
 See that the work is perfectly clean and free from any grease or dirt before finishing and then lightly sandpaper the surface to be 
 refinished. To obtain a nice, full lustre the varnish used should not be a Rubbing or Polishing varnish, unless a polished finish is desired. 
 
 NOTE THE CAP ON THIS CAN 
 
 The varnish can illustrated above shows the new patent cap we are 
 using. It entirely does away with corks, plugs, etc. It protects the 
 contents while in use, and if only part of the contents is used that 
 remaining in the can can be kept without danger of evaporation 
 
 Building Varnishes 
 
 Exterior 
 
 Right here, in the making of building var¬ 
 nishes, the maker displays his rarest art. 
 Here he must attain varnish that will give 
 a finish of clear, mirror like beauty, and 
 with this fine finish he must combine great 
 wearing qualities, for building varnishes are 
 subjected to hard wear. They must stand up 
 under this hard wear and remain attractive 
 for years. 
 
 No line of Building Varnishes has met 
 with greater success, has stood up better un¬ 
 der a thousand trying tests, has given more 
 universal satisfaction, than those put out over 
 the name of Montgomery Ward & Co. Try 
 
 them; your satisfaction will be as great, as 
 genuine, as that which has been expressed 
 by so many others.

 Diamond ^J^FloorVamish 
 
 One Gallon Covers 250 Square Feet Two Coats 
 
 Think for a moment of the wear that a floor varnish receives. At every step the hard, steel shod heel of 
 a man’s shoe strikes a ninety pound blow. Furniture is scraped and dragged back and forth over it. The 
 floor is often scrubbed. Small particles of sand are dropped and ground into it. 
 
 Think how good a varnish must be to withstand this everyday use and abuse. 
 
 We make special mention of our Diamond “W” Floor Varnish, because after numerous experiments 
 we have perfected a varnish that it will be economy to use on any floor in your house. We put our repu¬ 
 tation back of this varnish and guarantee it 
 
 WILL WITHSTAND THE HARDEST WEAR 
 
 you could possibly give it, without breaking the surface or marring the finish. You can dent the wood, but 
 you cannot break, blister or peel the varnish. You can allow water to stand for 24 hours on this varnish 
 and it will still retain the same finish as when first applied. Such is the floor varnish you have wanted, 
 and such is the varnish we offer you under our Diamond W Brand. Retail value, $2.50 per gallon.

 CONCRETE AND CEMENT COATING 
 
 An artistic finish and dampness proof coating, particularly adapted for all kinds of 
 exterior and interior Concrete and Cement Work, Stucco Houses, Cement Bridges, Brick, Stone or 
 Plaster Houses and other surfaces where a flat or dull finish is desired. Also basement walls, 
 floors and all places subject to dampness. 
 
 It produces a uniform, natural, flat, durable finish, prevents the penetra- 
 
 mine, as it prevents suction. Dries in tion of moisture and is not affected by the action of Alkali and Acid which attacks the pig¬ 
 ments of ordinary paints. The composition is such that it dries very hard, penetrates, combines 
 and becomes a part of the concrete or other surface on which it is used. 
 
 This paint comes ready mixed and in proper consistency for use. However, 
 if thinning is necessary reduce with turpentine. Use an ordinary large paint brush and apply 
 freely enough to fill all pores and depressions of the surface. One gallon will cover 150 to 200 square 
 feet one coat. The best results are obtained by applying two coats. It is made in white also in 
 the following 12 shades shown on our regular house paint color card.

 You Cannot Secure Better Oils Than Ours 
 
 Realizing the importance to the automobile owner of a satisfactory oil for use in his machine, we 
 instructed our chief chemist to make a special study of automobile oils and to spare no expense in 
 perfecting oils that would meet with the approval of the motorist. In his analytical work he has had 
 the benefit of the knowledge of chemists who make a specialty of oils and also the advantage of practical 
 tests on many different cars, including automobile trucks, so that in offering the following oils we be¬ 
 lieve that they will afford the highest degree of lubrication and are confident they will give entire 
 satisfaction.

 PRICES FOR PURE PAINT VARY 
 
 We Guarantee the Prices Quoted in 
 this Book Until the Fall of 1912 
 
 Flax is now selling for $2.40 or thereabouts. From 
 flax seed we get linseed oil. Linseed oil is one of the 
 most important constituents of pure paint. As long as 
 the price of flax seed remains so high we will necessarily 
 have to keep pure paint at the game price because under 
 no consideration will we sacrifice the quality of our lin¬ 
 seed-oil paints—and substitute anything else for linseed 
 oil. 
 
 HOW LONG WILL YOUR HOUSE LIVE ? 
 
 S UPPOSE you said to yourself, after you had built a house, “I guess I 
 won’t paint the house, it costs too much.” Of course you would never 
 say that, because everybody knows that exposed wood and iron must be 
 protected with paint for economy’s sake. But just suppose that you did, in a very 
 few years at the most your house would be rapidly falling to pieces, wouldn’t it ? 
 
 If farmers in the United States should be attracted 
 by the high prices of flax and start raising it, the Amer¬ 
 ican crop would be greater—and the prices of pure paint 
 of course would gq down. If there is a greater crop of 
 flax this fall than there wa9 last, we will be able to 
 put down the price a few points. 
 
 At any rate we guarantee thd prices in this book until 
 next fall and then if therq is a big crop of flax we will 
 make the prices even lower. Of course it may be neces¬ 
 sary to raise the prices *a bit if flax is very scarce. 
 
 But, suppose you said to yourself (and it’s odd how many people insist on 
 saying this,) “I’ll paint my house, but I’ll pay just as little for it as I possibly can.” ' (Like 
 the story of the farmer that tried to economize by putting sawdust in his horse’s feed, and the 
 horse died.) The first thing you would know, the cheap paint would he cracking, and 
 chalking and sticking out in bubbles. And then you would sadly remember that the cheap 
 paint cost you as much as pure paint because it takes about a gallon and a half of adulterated 
 paint to do the work of a gallon of pure paint. 
 
 Paints this house outside two full eoats 
 in the colors shown. For $451.60 we 
 furnish the material to build this house. This 
 includes everything except lime, stone, cement and brick. 
 
 Now, we’re going to stop supposing - . This book shows you something that you 
 must do —yes, must do, if you want your house to “live” longer than you or your children, 
 or the children of your children will live. This book shows you what you must do to keep 
 your house from “dying”—from falling to pieces, prematurely. This book brings to
