T MONTGOMERY WARD & CO.'S PAINT BOOK KC ITS P^RE WHITE ERLIT ENAMEL WHITE Other Brands of Similar Quality Sell at $4.00 and $5.00 a Gallon Our Price, $2.78 A Gallon No finish is more pleasing to anyone than a Pure White Porcelain Enamel finish. 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 cr living room in which the woodwork and furniture are finished with "Towerllte," and the draperies, floor coverings and upholstery in a dainty shade (and most any shade harmonizes with white) presents an extremely rich appearance that cannnt be accom- plished with any other treatment. This you may say applies to any white. Not so. The porcelain -like texture of "Towerllte" gives that pleasing effect that is entirely absent in nearly all white finishes. Try a can of "Towerllte" and you will be con- vinced. Because of its smooth, glassy finisli it is also easily kept clean, thus being thoroughly sanitary. Because of this quality, "Towerllte" is used extensively in hos- pitals and public buildings. It is also the ideal finish for bath rooms, kitchens, and other rooms. "TOWERLITE"— A Perfect, Permanent Snow-White Enamel "Towerllte" is not only snow white when first applied, but is guaranteed to he per- manent—it will not turn yellow, scale, chip, or crack. It gives a rich, hard, perfectly white gloss, that may be rubbed to a dull finish. Unless the surface to which you wish to apply "Towerllte" is now painted white and is smooth, 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. 10% 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 "Towerllte." 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 Paint and after dry, sand lightly with No. 00 sandpaper and apply "Towerllte." One gallon of Coverall Flat White will cover about 350 square feet two coots, and a gallon of "Towerllte" will cover from 200 to 250 square feet two coals. For applying "Towerllte" use our varnish brush No. 3B618, and for the flat white we recommend Rubberset Brush No. 3B6 27. If you have only a small job such as a few pieces of furniture, we suggest our Fitch Brush No. 3BG5 8. If you wish to enamel surfaces, either wood or plaster, that have not been painted before, treat the wood witli a priming coat or Inside White Coverall to which you havo added about a half pint of turpentine: but the plastered wall should first be coated with our Fresco Wall size No. 3B7836. Then follow with two coats of Inside Flat White Coverall, as hereinbefore described. "Towerlite" is the highest grade of white enamel made, quality retail at S4.00 and more per gallon. 3B8432— 'A Pint can. Weight, l',4 pounds. Per can. . . 3B8433— I Pint can. Weight, 2Vi pounds.

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, bath- rooms, cupboards, casings and baseboards, furni- ture — 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 o"r scratched, and will retain its lustre and beauty for several years. If the surface you wish to enamel has never been painted apply a coat of primer (our Inside Flat White Coverall) in the case of new woodwork. If the surface is plastered wall, then apply first a coat of Fresco Wall Size No. 3B7836. In the event the wall lias been papered, then remove the paper by thorough soaking, and scraping off witli a putty knife or similar tool. 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 covey from 200 to 250 square feet, two coats. If the color you paint with Is white, or ono of the light shades, and the surface you wish to cover is now painted somo dark color, it is best to first apply one coat of Inside Flat White Coverall House Paint. Use a good varnish brush. We recommend our No. 3B618 for large surfaces like walls and woodwork, or No. 3B656 for a small job such as furniture. You Can Do the Work Yourself Your Choice of Black, White and 12 Rich and Beautiful Tints 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 opportunity 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 accomplished 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 Paint 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 apply, anyone can use Liquid Enamel Paint with success.

It is also used on new work or soft wood, such as pine, where a rich gloss stained finish is desired. It stains and varnishes with one application, and dries hard with a fine lustre in from 8 to 12 hours. It answers every requirement for refinishing interior woodwork and furniture, where it is desired to do so at a nominal cost. On old work that has been previously stained or var- nished use a shade in varnish stains similar to the old work or a darker shade to obtain the best results. One coat is usually sufficient for refinishing such old work. Where varnish stain is used on an old painted surface a coat of ground color No, 1SS^ should first he applied. This gives a solid ground color, and the texture of newly planed wood. Then apply two coats of varnish stain of the shade desired. One gallon will cover 400 square feet, one coat.

It is true that the experienced painter will do the work more quickly than you can do it, but unless time is an important factor, you can just as well save the extra labor expense. Painting and decorating, like everything else, are largely a question of using a little common sense. With reasonable care and the necessary tools, there is no reason why you cannot produce results that will bo almost up to the professional standard. Follow our instructions and you will find painting so easy that you will consider it a pleasure. The Best Time to Paint Always select a dry day. Be sure that the surface to be painted is thoroughly dry and free from dirt, grease, or old paint. If paint is applied on a surface that appears dry but is water-soaked, it is bound to give you trouble, as tho paint will peel or blister when the sun beats against it. Don't attempt to put on paint when the thermometer registers below oO degrees, as the paint is likely to thicken, or begin what is com- monly known as "crawling." By crawling we mean that the paint will collect in drops and not cover the entire surface, leaving many bare spots. Crawling also happens by tbo surface being too glossy. Such being the case, bo sure to sandpaper the gloss to a flat or smooth surface. How to Estimate the Amount of Paint You Need The following is an example of a house 30 feet wide, 40 feet long, and 20 feet high. Front, 30 feet; rear, 30 feet; one side, 40 feet; other side, 40 feet; total, 140 feet. Tlie total multiplied by height, 20 feet, is 2.S00 square feet; 2,800 divided by 300 is 9. This shows that approximately 9 gallon of paint is required to cover two coats. This rule will vary a trifle owing to the condition of the wood. If it lias been painted once, or if 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. If such is the case, be sure to shellac all knots, and sappy or pitchy spots before putting on the first coat. A slightly greater amount will also be needed if the surface is old and porous. If a roof is to be painted, the paint will probably differ from that on the body of the house; therefore, the measurements should be kept separate. If one side of the roof measures 15 feet by 30 feet, multiply 15 by 30, which will give you 450 square feet for the one side of the roof. -Multiply this by two (to get dimensions of the two sides of the roof), which will give you 900 square feet. Divide tins by 45 0. as it will require one gallon of paint 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. Pout off oil into another vessel and stir the balance in the can thoroughly, gradually adding the oil until all has been re- turned. 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 Dint to one quart of pure boiled linseed oil with a gallon of paint fur the first coat. Always be sure to use pure raw linseed oil. It is unnecessary for you to use driers if you are sure of getting the pure raw linseed oil. When placing your order for paint it is always well for you to place aii order for oil at the same time. As we handle only the pure oil you will then be sure to get the right material. Do not try to use cheap ochres for a first coat, as it is bound to give you an inferior job of painting. If you use our paints as per our instructions you will have no trouble and will be sure to have a good job. On second coat work, let the first coat harden or dry from four to five days. Then use the paint just as it conies in the can, but be sure to stir it thoroughly and mix it as per our instructions. You don't nave to be a paint- er to do your own painting Floor Paints The floor must he dry, clean, and free from grease i and stains, use turpentine or benzine. Shellac all knots, before putting on the first coat. nd dirt. To remove grease and sappy and pitchy epots How to Use Interior Paints for Walls, Woodwork, Etc. Our Coverall Paint is an excellent paint for all kinds of inside painting. In kitchens, where the woodwork or walls are more or less greasy, wash same with a solution of salsoda and warm water, using about one-half pound of salsoda to a bucket of water together with a little soap. Do not apply paint until the surface is perfectly dry. Our four-inch brush No. 3B701 is ideal for this kind of work. 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. 3BS73S before putting on the first coat of paint. If, however, the wall has been painted before, it will not be necessary to use the size. Use our Flat Wall Paint described on Page 18. For Kalsomiue and Fresco Colors Always be sure to remove any previous water coloring or kalsomiue. This can be done with a sponge and warm water. A little vinegar or salsoda will help to soften tho kalsomiue and do a quicker job. Before putting on fresh kalsomiue. be sure to use our Siting No. 3B873S. Be sure that the sizing is perfectly dry before applying the kalsomiue or fresco colors. Be sure to mix the kalsoniine or fresco as per the directions on tho can or package, or see Page 19 in this book for further directions. Filling On new work, where 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 with 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 after filling, and then shellac and finish as desired. Use our Filler No. 3B8210. This Filler settles less and requires less First Coater in finishing than almost any other filler yet produced. It makes a very hard, smooth surface, which holds the First Coater and varnish up evenly, thus making a fine, durable and economical finish.

To Varnish New Floors All open grained woods, such as oak, ash. walnut, etc., must be first filled with hardwood paste filler. Use our No. 3BS210, as per directions, listed under Hardwood Paste Filler, see Page 4 of this book. Allow about two days for the filler to dry; then sand- paper with No. 1 sandpaper, and dust thoroughly. You are then ready for the varnish. Apply at least two coats of varnish, and allow two days between coats for drying. Before applying the last coat, the surface should bo 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 over old varnish should not be done unless the door is in good condition, and is not scaling or chipping off. If floor is in good condition, fill all cracks and crevices with Crack and Crevice Filler, No. 3B822S. Sandpaper the surface smoothly, clean thoroughly, then proceed with the varnish. If floor is not in good condition, the old varnish should be removed with Paint and Varnish Remover, No. 3B7799. 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 particle of wax before applying the varnish. This can be done 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 turpentine. 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 varnish. 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. For a Rubbed Finish When the last coat of varnish is thoroughly dry and hardened, the rubbing is done with rubbing felt and fine pumice stone. Dip the rubbing felt lightly in water, or raw linseed oil, and then dip tho moist felt in the pumice stone and rub the surface up and down wth the grain of tho wood. A smoother dull-rubbed finish can be obtained by using the oil. Rotten stone is use for polishing varnished surfaces, after being rubbed down with pumice stone. Dip a piece of cloth or felt into raw oil or water, then into the rotten stone, and rub the surface to a polish. Finish by rubbing off 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. 3BSG58. How to Remove Old Paint and Varnish On woodwork and furniture where the old finish is in very bad condition it la best to remove the old paint or varnish to get a smooth surface, and thus obtain a good job of refinishing. For Removing Paint, Varnish, Enamel, Shellac, Wax, etc., from Wood, Metal, Glass or other iurfaces Apply our Paint and Varnish remover No. 3B7799 freely with a glue-set brush After allowing it to stand for about five minutes remove the softened old coating with a dull knife or painter's scraper. Use a stiff brush for carvings or mouldings For very old or many-coated work, apply a second coat of tho Remover and treat in the same way. Then clean the surface with a rag, or piece of wasto dipped in the Remover or benzine. Do not use near the fire or exposed light or lamp. Refinishing Old Woodwork or Furniture To change the finish on any woodwork or furniture, whether it needs refinishine or you simply want to apply a finish to harmonize with other furniture or decorations, colored varnish or varnish stains are remarkably good because the cost is low. Th«y are easy to apply (anyone can do the woiS) and the results are most gratifying ■il MONTGOMERY WARD & CO.'S PAINT BOOK KC MONTGOMERY WARD & CO.'S PAINT BOOK How to Paint and Varnish (Continued from Page 7) Co-Var-Finish This finish stands at the head, not only for refinishing, but also for new work, whether it be woodwork or furniture. For new floors or woodwork, if the wood is open-grained like oak or ash, fill first with our Paste Filler; then, after allowing 2-t 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, dose-grained woods like maple, cherry, birch or mahogany require no filler. Just apply the two coats of Co-Var- Finish as above explained. For old floors or woodwork, if in fairly good condition, touch up the bare spots, then apply the Co-Var-Finish. If in bad con- dition, 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 furniture, see that the surface is 'clean and dry, then sandpaper all rough spots. If some pla'ces are badly worn, touch up those places first, then apply Co-Var-Finish. Varnish Stains In every instance, first see that the surface to be fin- ished is smooth, clean, dry, and free from dust. On new work, if the wood is open-grained, such as oak or ash treat first with our Paste Filler. After allowing 3G hours to dry, sandpaper lightly and give two coats or Varnish Stain, allowing 30 hours between coats for drying. On close-grained woods, such as hard pine, maple and cherry, omit the paste filler, but it is wise to apply a coat of our Liquid Wood Filler instead. On old work, if the surface is in fairly good condition, touch up the bare spots with Varnish Stain, and after dry apply a coat of Varnish Stain. However, if the surface is in bad condition, it is best to remove the old finish by the aid of our Print and Varnish Remover. Then sandpaper smooth and apply two coats of Varnish Stain the same as for new work. If the finish you wish to apply is lighter than the finish now on the article to be finished, it is necessary then to anply a coat of "Ground Color" Varnish Stain, to obtain a lighter foundation. Then apply the desired color of Varnish Stain allowing plenty of time between coats for drying. Use a varnish brush, and flow on smoothly and evenly as in varnishing. How to Do Graining On woodwork or furniture that has been previously paiidcd. and an imitation of grain of wood is desired, this can oe very easily accomplished by the aid of our handy graining tools. For these tools, refer to Page 25 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 ltemover. The ground color then completely covers the old finish and makes the necessary foundation for graining. ,.,,,., „j One coat of ground color is usually sufficient, but if still rough, it is best to sand- paper tills 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 par- ticular 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 varnish, paint, or any preparation con- taining turpentine or oil. After allowing one hour for the graining to dry, apply "natural" Co-Var-Finish to obtain a gloss finish. For noors 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 before, 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 wS. By following the directions carefully you will be sure to get satisfactory results. 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. If thinning is required, reduce with pure turpentine only. Bo sure to stir the paint thoroughly before using. The paint should also be stirred occasionally while being used. Keep covered when not in use. See that the surface is dry. clean, moved, which can be done with brush like ordinary paint. Two coats are required on all now work, and in most cases on old work, especially where protect on against dampness and discoloration is desired. The first coat should be brusl ed well into the pores of the surface freely enough to J'V, 'K^e slond nressions Not le=s than 3 davs must be allowed for drying before. applying the second cotfTto applying the I second coat, paint should not be reduced: it should [be i appjtaJ just as it conies in the can after thoroughly stirring, and brushed out to an even, uniform coating. Any of the shades can bo made lighter by the addition of our white Concrete and Cement Coating. Screen Paint RMr thnrmitjhlv hpfnre usine Have the surface to be coated clean and free from dust ^ AppIs e B "nly ami freVly! If the paint is too thick, thin with a little turpentine. Automobile, Carriage, Wagon, and Implement Paint The surface to be painted should be dry. clean, and free from grease and dust. If there are 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 are likely to be greasy. It s not necessary to remove all of the paint on a job of this kind. All 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. 3B7S12 with further di- rections on can. For Wagon and Implement paint use our Paint iNo. 3B7S18, with full directions on the can. How to Enamel To do a first-class job of white enameling, use our Towerlite White Enamel. New Woodwork — The surface to be finished must be clean, dry and sandpapered smoothly. All cracks or imperfections should be filled with putty or paste filler and all knots should be coated with white shellac. Apply two coats of Coverall House Paint, No. 10y 2 flat white, allowing 24 hours between coats for drying. This will give you an even, solid and perfectly white foundation to work on. After the second coat is thoroughly dry, sandpaper lightly with 00 sandpaper, after which you are ready for the Towerlite finish. Use a fine bristle full body varnish brush for this work. In applying the first coat of Towerlite, brush out carefully, well and evenly. Allow at least 48 hours for drying. Sandpaper lightly with 00 sandpaper, then apply the second coat, which should be flowed on and worked out freely and evenly. New Plastered Walls— Walls must lie hard and dry before they are finished. All cracks and holts should he filled with plaster paris. Apply one coat of our Fresco Wall Size This should he applied thinly, evenly and well brushed in. After allowing 24 hours to dry, finish as above specified for new woodwork, except that one coat of the flat white will suffice in most cases. Old Work — The surface to be enameled should bo dry, clean, free from grea?e and dirt, and sandpapered smoothly. If the old paint is in poor condition, cracking or peeling, it should be removed. After the surface to be enameled is in proper condition, proceed as above outlined on new work. The number of coats to be applied will depend entirely upon the condition of the surface. Where refinish- ing over an old surface previously finished in white or some light shade, one coat of "flat white," No. lOU, and two "coats of Towerlite will usually suffice. Remove the entire top of can and stir the paint thoroughly. Stir with a flat paddle, from the bottom up, until the paint is smooth and of an even consistency. Light and good circulation of air are necessary for the dry- ing of high grade enamel. Enamel must not be brushed out like ordinary paint, but instead should be flowed on and worked out smoothly and evenly, which can be done suc- cessfully only with a fine bristle, full body varnish brush. Enamel, if left exposed, is liable to become heavy and work hard. This can be remedied by the addition of a littls turpentine. Too much turpentine will destroy the gloss. Un- der no other circumstances dilute or add anything to Towerlite. Liquid Enamel Doing the work yourself is easy with our plain instructions and loose particles of sand, lime or cement re- wire brush. Apply with a four or five-inch paint The surface to be enameled should be dry, clean and free from grease and dirt, and samlpapered smoothly. To re- move grease and stains, use turpentine or benzine. Be sure to stir the paint thoroughly. Cut out the entire top of can and stir with a flat paddle until the paint is smooth, and of an even consistency. Enamel, if left exposed, is liable to become heavy and work hard. This can be rem- edied by the addition of a little turpentine. Too much turpentine will destroy the gloss. Where a very fine finish is desired, the under coat should be lightly sandpapered with a fine sandpaper before applying the finishing coat. Where White, Ivory and similar light shades in liquid enamel are used on new surface, or on a surface that has been previously painted with some darker shade, the best results can be obtained by first applying one or two coats of our No. lO 1 ^ Inside Flat White Coverall House Paint. 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 Varnish Brush if possible. One coat will usually be sufficient. If a higher finish is desired apply two coats, allowing first coat to dry hard before apply- ing the second coat. For First Coat Work add at least 1 per cent] of turpentine to the Enamel. If too heavy, thin only with turpentine. Radiator Enamels 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 thickens, add a little turpentine — too much will sill 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 m water and hung up to dry, otherwise the lime and dampness will rot the bristles in a very short time.

WHY MIX YOUR OWN PAINT? -» -~ . ...tot ...nr TVU TUT I HTfCT YOU CAN BUY OUR READY- MIXED PAINT — MADE BY MACHINERY FOR LESS MONEY Many people still believe that if they purchase white lead and mix it themselves with linseed oil they are then getting the very best white paint for exterior painting. Then, for colors they simply add colors ground in oil to secure the (lcsncd shade. It is true that zinc oxide combined with white Wita a better paint, as the zinc adds strength and gloss to the paint film, and thus greatly increases its weather- 1 ' e it t is g an ,a abso e h;te fact, however, that the greatest paint chemists, as well as the most reliable paint manufacturers, have found through exhaustive tests that by adding proper pigments to the lead and linseed oil they can obtain greater aurability and far better covering capacity But, to get these results, these ingredients must be very finely ground and thoroughly mixed by powerful machinery. Then, too, in buying paint ingredients m the open market von have no assurance that you are getting the pure article. But when you buy your paint from us, we protect you against fraudulent* adulterations and substitutions, for we test, m our extensive laboratory, everything that goes into the making of our paints. _ . . . With our powerful and latest improved paint machinery, we not only make better paint than it is possible to make by N _ w t E t» SE yJ hand, biit cheaper, th ereby saving you money. ZINC OXID B THE LATEST IMPROVED OUR PAINT ALWAYS ON WHAT HE ACCEPTS CHEMIST THE JOB WHAT HE REJECTS SUBLIMED WHITE LEAD PURE LINSEED OIL CORRODED WHITE LEAD CHEAP BRANDS OFZINC OXIDE Our paint chemist accepts sub- limed white lead because of its superiority. In tests, it has shown that it will not become affected by hydrogen sulphide gas, which is plentiful in smoke, sewer gas, and in decaying animal or vegetable matter. It has no chemical action on the oil, and therefore does not shorten the life of the paint. The fineness of sub- limed white lead enables it to be mixed more easily and prevents caking in cans. It is non-poison- ous. He accepts XX New Jersey zinc oxide because it is the best known material that will perform its functions. It is free from im- purity, is not poisonous, and builds up life of the paint. He accepts linseed oil because it forms a skin which holds the pig- ments together, thus assuring a smooth and lasting surface. Also, the pure material is better able to perform its functions than any adulterations. ADULTERATED OIL He rejects corroded white lead because it will not perform the duties that are dependent 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 de- stroying the full value of the paint. Because of the acid in cor- roded 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 of zinc oxide because of their impurities. They have not been perfected as yet. They are poisonous, and tend to take away the 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 covering eapa'city. We recommend our ready-mixed paint to you because it is the best for the purpose. We are very careful 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 guarantee which you know means just what it says? The reason we can sell such good paint at prices so extremely low is that in buying paint from us you are getting the paint direct from the factoiy 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 98c it would usually cost you about $1.50 or more. 10 MONTGOMERY WARD & CO.'S PAINT BOOK COVERALL HOUSE PAINT THE KIND THAT WEARS KC KC MONTGOMERY WARD & CO.'S PAINT BOOK 11 You wish your house to appear at its best, and to favorably impress everyone — its appearance to be attractive and pleasing. It is, therefore, wise for you to select paint that will produce this effect — with shades that are attractive — so that at first sight the house may win the admiration of the passerby — tints that har- monize and prove to be more pleasing the longer the house and surroundings are studied — colors that will wear well for several years. As your house is attractive and pleasing, so the real monetary 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 out of all pro- portion to 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? It costs but little to paint a building with two coats of Coverall Paint- so little that you will be surprised. See what a small amount of money is required to paint the houses shown on the back cover of this book. It is the surface cover- ing qualities, as well as the great durability of Coverall House Paint, that makes it so desirable, and such a big seller with us. The low price at which we are able to furnish this high class paint makes it possible for everyone to keep his house looking new. COVERALL HOUSE PAINT IS GUARANTEED NOT TO BLISTER, CRACK, PEEL, CHALK, OR SCALE. Thus your building painted with Coverall is thoroughly protected against decay. Coverall is the best protection you can put on your property. The name, Montgomery Ward & Company, on a sealed can is everywhere an accepted guarantee of quality. Good paint costs nothing, because it saves more than it costs. An unpainted building, or one painted with inferior paint that fades, chalks or peels off, does not speak well for the owner. If he can afford 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. Paint investment is the greatest property insurance on the farm— greater than fire or tornado insurance. Paint is obtainable in three forms— dry pigment, paste colors, and prepared or ready mixed paint. All paint was formerly prepared by the painter, who would tedi- ously grind 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 manufacturer 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 to produce a lew gallons of paint? <£Q A9 PAINTS THIS HOME TWO FULL COATS.

If you have ever tried to mix paints, you know that you can make better paint by stirring the ingredients 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 gallons. Then, hand-mixed paints cannot be made to the exact tint, because tinting colors vary in strength. With pre- pared paints it is possible to have exact uniformity. Not only is the composition of paint an important matter — the method is of equal importance. For illustration: If we mix together 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, perfect results are obtained. Then, it is a serious matter as to the quality of the dryer — the quantity to be used varies with the qual- ity. An extensive laboratory, under the charge of ex- perts, is necessary for per- fect results. Long experience has taught us just what in- gredients produce the best and most economical paint. Hand-mixed paint is hu- man labor with just good luek added, if anywhere near a fair paint mixture results. For manufacturing pre- pared paint we have the most modern machinery, which does the work bet- ter and at a much lower cost. Furthermore, the work is directed by skilled paint chemists, so that, with a given formula, ex- actly the same result is obtained each time. WHY COVERALL HOUSE PAINT FORMULA IS SO RELIABLE When a formula is proven by test and experi- ence to be superior, it is very important that it be duplicated exactly. The expert paint manufacturer only can accomplish such duplication. By the adoption of machinery we have better and longer wearing paint at less cost, so much less cost that our guaranteed paint is within the reach of people of modest means. Today an unpainted building is a reproach to the owner. One of our power mixers will, in about ten minutes, thoroughly mix a thousand gallons of white liquid paint with lamp-black, and produce a uniform gray tint. To obtain by hand a uniform tint in one gallon of these materials would take hours of constant stirring. The cost of hand labor ranges from 15c to 40c per hour. A great point in favor of the paint in ready-mixed form is that the materials would be run through the mill together and would undoubtedly be more uniform than if the small consumer prepared his own mix- ture, 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 tannot mix it to the proper spreading con- sistency.

For inside use it is splendidly adapted to walls, ceilings, floors, woodwork, cupboards, and Four Points to Consider in Selecting Paints The cost of any article involves other facts than its bare price. Paint is no exception to this general rule. In selecting paint there are four distinct points to be considered : 1st. The Cost per Gallon. The fact that another paint is being offered you at, say double our price, does not mean it has double value. The difference in price is due to the fact that our paint goes to you direct from the factory, with but one small profit added to the very first cost. 2d.

COVERING CAPACITY GUARANTEED When you buy your paint, look to the covering qualities also. Don't buy simply by the gallon; buy by the square feet to the gallon. Why does a gallon of Coverall cover such a large area as 250 to 350 square feet to the gallon? Now you are getting down to the secret. 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 go into our paints are crushed and ground between power- ful mill stones to minute particles — ground in oil, so that they are more than coated with oil. It's the .proper combina- tion of a proven formula that determines the covering qualities. But other necessary qualities of a good paint are not overlooked or sacrificed to secure lower cost or greater covering ca- pacity. Coverall possesses that brilliant luster that attracts the attention of every- one — then the color is uniform. Coverall is a paint made for SERVICE — the very best, we believe, that can be made. Each can is guaranteed to be ex- actly as represented. Should Coverall paint 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 service you ex- pect of it, we will furnish new paint free. . .

MONTGOMERY WARD & CO. Not just how long will it 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 be ashamed of the appearance of the building. It means a de- preciation in the value of your property as well. Appearance goes a long way witli most people. 4th. Will It Wear? In other words, will it wear down smoothly, so that a good surface will be left for another coat, after a nuriiber of years? If the paint wears up rough, the cost to smooth down when repainting time comes will be 'considerable. READ OUR GUAR- ANTEE Remember: Coverall House Paint is not a cheap composition paint, even though the price is low. We give you the ad- vantage of a low cost se- cure d by the use of thoroughly modern ma- chinery and selling meth- ods. There is no chance for 1 variation in the quality or color of Coverall House Paint. We have facilities that enable us to furnish you with the best quality at a price lower than you can possibly' prepare the paint yourself. Furthermore, you have the protection of our expert paint chemist, who is constantly on the job to see that no ingredient enters into the making of any paint upon which we permit our label to appear. In selecting colors for your house, you should take special care to choose such shades as will harmonize with your neigh- bors' 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 clearly. Then, too, you should consider the style of architec- ture 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 us- ing more than one color for the body, do not apply 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. For Colors See Page 13 • S9-34 J ARD & CO.'S PAINT BOOK N PAINT KC PAINT 2^y 98c A Gallon in Barrels about 7 gallons.

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.

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 ex- actly as much to apply cheap paint as it does good paint, and the cost of application rep- resents fully two-thirds of your total painting expense. In buying paint, the big point then to consider 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 material. A gallon of cheap paint will cover approximately 200 square feet, 2 coats. Our Coverall Barn Paint will cover 300 square feet, 2 coats, under fair conditions. This difference in covering capacity is the result of pure materials, fine grinding and thorough mixing. Our Low Price Does Not Mean An Inferior Paint No one can offer for the price a better barn paint than Coverall. No one can offer you a reliable barn paint for less money. The covering capacity, united with its enduring and preserving qualities, makes it one of the best paints it is possible to produce for the purpose, likewise the most economical. Protect your barns, outbuildings, fences and roofs against decay at a low expense. Use it on metal or shingle roofs, gutters, tanks, drain pipes, cornices, and windmills. One gallon will cover approximately 300 square feet, two coats. When one coat only is applied, use Coverall Barn Paint just as it comes in the can. For a two-coat job on a new building or one in much need of paint, add for the first coat from a quart to a half gallon Raw Linseed Oil to each gallon of paint.

You tean make sure of getting the best if you buy a brand of known quality, a brand that is pure paint all the way through. You are sure of both quality and low cost, and doubly sure of the lasting qualities, if you buy paint that is backed by the broad guarantee of Montgomery Ward & Co. The best is always the cheapest; especially is this true when it comes to paint. The cost of spreading cheap paint is no less than applying Tower Brand. But if you have to repaint your building three times during the life of one coat of Tower Brand on another building, how much do you save by purchasing cheap paint? On the cost of paint alone you have saved nothing — on labor you have lost much. Tower Brand Paint is unexcelled in service, in beauty of finish, and in covering capacity — three prime requisites of a good paint. Service — that is what Tower Brand will give you. It will stay on your building for years before it shows wear, and when new painting is necessary the surface 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 is then an eyesore to the community; your work will be lost; you will have to go to the expense of an- other coat of paint — but even then you cannot get the very best results with the best paint, because the poor paint has left the surface rough. Had a good paint like Tower Brand been used, the finish on your building would be a thing of beauty for several years. Tower Brand 100 per cent Pure Paint Every gallon of Tower Brand is absolutely 100 per cent pure and uniform, and of the very highest grade that can be produced. If a better paint could be made, we would make it. We make our own paint, using the latest and most approved machinery. We have our own laboratory, where skilled chemists are constantly at work keeping up our high standard of quality. We have complete confidence in Tower Brand Paint, because everything in the paint is pure. We add no "fillers" of any kind — the only things that go into Tower Brand are the ingredients actu- ally needed to make a perfect paint. Just think what it is worth to you to know that you are getting the best. That is the confidence you can enjoy when buying of Montgomery Ward & Co. When you buy a gallon of Tower Brand, you are getting a full U. S. gallon of 100 per cent pure paint — paint all the way through. The formula is all printed on the label of every can, and the con- tents subject to inspection. We dare not misrepresent, nor do we wish to do so. Beyond all doubt, Tower Brand is the biggest paint value offered today. It is endorsed by thousands upon thousands of users. Tower Brand is made under a formula that eliminates paint faults — a formula which science and the test of time have proven to be correct. Ea'ch ingredient is chosen to perform a definite func- tion. Sublimed White Lead and Zinc Oxide (the pigments in Tower Brand Paint) are pure products — that is, minute particles collected from the fumes of melted ore. We use sublimed white lead because its physical structure makes it the most staple of all white leads. It is very opaque, is uniform in composition, extremely fine in texture, and has no destructive effect on the paint vehicle. It dif- fers from ordinary white lead— being non-poisonous— and resists the blackening action of the sulphur compound (contained in sewer gases and fuel gases) to a much greater degree. Like all other white leads, however, it in itself does not possess all the physical properties necessary for paint requirements. When combined and finely ground in equal parts with zinc oxide, all deficiencies are overcome. The value of the ono is enhanced by the addition of the other. Then the zinc oxide, combined with white lead in the proper pro- portions, adds strength and gloss to the paint film, and greatly increases its weather-resisting qualities. A prominent manufacturer of white lead, when asked if he would use straight lead or a combination on his own house, replied that he would add a percentage of zinc, but would not advertise the fact. This manufacturer's experiences taught him that two white pig- ments in proper combination are better than one alone. The linseed oil is the life of the paint, but only pure oil is effi- cient. The pure gum turpentine makes Tower Brand Paint spread easily, and the Japan dryer makes it dry quickly and evenly. All materials used in making Tower Brand Paint are carefully selected and tested by skilled experts. Each material must test out 100 per cent pure. This great care is taken for your protection.

Our stain is a combination of creosote oil and the best wood preserva- tives known. It penetrates the wood — prevents decay and produces that soft, mottled finish now so much in demand. Shingle Stain is easily applied. Be sure that the shingles are clean and dry. Remem- ber that the life of the stain depends upon the depth to which it penetrates the wood. 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 you many times more than the stain necessary to protect them. Shingle stain is really, then, an investment and not an expense.

The Cost is Small "When you figure on building a fence, it is a wire fence you de- cide upon. Then you want gal- vanized wire so it will last for years, but how about the posts? A fence can be no 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, meaning added expense. Consider, too, the possible losses that may, in the meantime, occur by stock breaking through into the grain field, or straying away and the loss in time and labor getting them back. Use Wood Preservative on your fence posts, it will preserve them against decay for many years. The cost is small and the saving is great. Fence posts are increasing in value, as timber be- comes 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 are well repaid. To treat fence posts or any other timber, first remove all bark, then apply Wood Preservative with a brush- two or three coats. To obtain the best results, how- ever, apply hot, for it then penetrates the wood more readily and evaporates the moisture more effectually. In the winter especially, we recommend that Wood Pre- servative be heated in an iron vessel to about 150 or 200 degrees. The very best results are obtained by dipping the timber in the hot oil, but if this is not practicable, apply with an ordinary wire-bound paint brush. The timber to be treated should be dry. The second coat should not be applied until the first "coat is dry. Special care should be taken to use plenty of Wood Preserva- tive on the ends of the posts.

"Wood Preservative" is a Refined Creosote Oil Wood Preservative is nothing more nor less than Refined Creo- sote Oil. This oil has been the acknowledged wood preservative 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 evidence conclusive of its un- questioned merit. Notwithstand- ing the many advertised, fancy- named preservatives now being placed before the public, Creo- sote Oil still maintains its superi- ority. There is no oil or com- bination of oils that will pene- trate and impart to the wood, that lasting preserving quality as will Creosote Oil. Use it on plank walks, sills, joists, wooden fences, posts, tanks, wind mills and silos, and it will not only give you the best results, but it is also less expensive. Wood Preservative may also be used on timbers for any purpose ; in fact, for any woodwork above or below ground or water, that is subject to decay or insects. Ropes, canvas and nets treated with Wood Preserva- tive become water-proof and more durable, yet remain soft and pliable in all seasons. Paint the inside of corn- cribs and granaries with Wood Preservative and grain therein will not be damaged by the corn weevil. Being a strong, but harmless, disinfectant, it is used for spraying, in hog pens and barns ; it helps to prevent contagion and the spreading of disease. Spray the chicken house with this oil, and lice or mites cannot exist. Mice, rats, or ants will not attack or damage woodwork painted with our wood preservative. Splendid for so many uses, you should keep a supply on hand all the time.

Does not rub off on to the clothes. An oil finish, very artistic and durable. Being waterproof, it is readily 'cleaned with soap and water. Flat Wall Finish dries quickly without gloss, leaving a dainty, velvety wall covering. Thoroughly protects and covers the wall. The very best flat finish for interior work on walls, woodwork, plaster board or metal ceilings, where a smooth, soft, dull, and artistic finish is desired. As it may be washed repeatedly without injury to the finish, it is thoroughly sanitary. An endless number of artistic combinations may be secured by the judicious use of the various tints shown on opposite page. Then, too, by the application of the proper stenciling, wonderful results may be obtained. (See Page 25 for Stencils.) You can do all this work yourself; you would enjoy it. And con- sider the satisfaction in feeling that it is your own work. Full directions on each can. It is ready to use right out of the can. When used on smooth plastered walls, one gallon will cover from 200 to 250 square feet, two coats. Before using on new walls, or on old walls that have never been sized, the surface should first be given a coat of Fresco Wall Size (No. 3B8736, listed on Page 6). Be sure to state color you wish.

See Colors on Opposite page. This specially prepared Liquid Cement Coating is in no sense an ordinary paint. It is alkali-proof, and made especially for damp- proofing and decorating surfaces above described, which, on account of their caustic and alkaline nature, cannot be treated with an ordinary oil paint. Concrete and Cement Coating produces a pleasing, uniform, flat, stone-like finish that penetrates and seals the pores, making the surface damp-proof and weather-proof. It prevents water-spotting of the walls, and preserves them from disintegration due to the absorption of moisture. For concrete, brick, or stucco work on houses, public buildings, Concrete bridges, etc., or for inside finish on plaster walls, basements, floors, and all damp surfaces this paint has no equal. Apply this paint direct to the surface, except in cases of extreme dampness or moisture, in which case first apply one coat of our Seal-Tite as described on Page 6. Concrete and Cement Coating is applied with a brush, the same as an ordinary paint. On the average concrete or brick surface one gallon will 'cover about 100 square feet, two coats.

It will not rub off, flake, powder, peel, or blister. It is scientifically prepared and positively sanitary. Any one can apply this wall finish. It is easily and quickly dissolved in hot water, requiring no stirring after it is once mixed. Pur-e-tone is so finely ground that it will remain in good condition without settling, and it will cover more surface than other similar goods made for the same purpose. It not only goes farther ; it looks better, works easier, and lasts longer than other materials sold for the same purpose. Mix with boiling water to a thick, smooth paste, al- lowing fifteen or twenty minutes for the material to become thoroughly dissolved. Thin to a proper con- sistency for the work for which it is to be used by adding cold water. Allow the mixture to stand until cold. For hard-finished walls mix to the thickness of a good mixed paint. If the walls are rough and porous more water should be added than for smooth and perfect walls. Apply with regular kalsomine brush. Our 3B570 and 3B599 are very satisfactory. One 24-cent package will kalsomine an ordinary room. NOTE — Old walls previously kalsomined should be washed clean before applying a new coat. New walls and old walls that have not been previously sized should receive a coat of our Fresco Wall Size (3B8736), listed on Page 6, before applying the kalsomine. State color wanted.

It is easy to prepare and easy to put on. Fresco colors are mixed the same as kalsomine, as above described, except after adding the hot water allow the mixture to stand twenty-five minutes to become thoroughly dissolved, after which thin with cold water to the proper consistency, provided it is for immediate use. If not for immediate use, simply pour the cold water on the mixture and stir when ready to use. Vary the amount of water according to the surface to be covered.

Not only will this paint with- stand the wear and tear of con- stant use, but it will resist the action of the wind, rain, and weather. Montgomery Ward & Co.'s Porch Floor Paint is the best and longest-lived floor paint for outside use that can be made. We have subjected this paint to a hundred of the most trying tests that could possibly be devised. We have done this because we realize that no other painted surface is given the bruising, gruelling wear and tear that the porch or steps receive. There is not another Porch Floor Paint that has wearing qualities that compare with this. If there is any one thing about a house that needs repainting more than any other it is the porches and steps. Send a trial order for a little of this paint and you will have no other. One gallon will cover 300 square feet two coats. ' State color wanted. For colors see opposite page. o5lZ 35 — 0ne 1 uart can - Weight, 6 pounds.

Gives a hard, brilliant, gloss finish. Will not show heel marks or scratches. We do not tell you our Floor Paint is good for painting both in- side and outside floors. The requirements of a paint for outside floors and for inside are en- tirely different. So are the conditions to which they are subjected. How then can the same paint be used satis- factorily for both ? _ Ordinary Floor Paints must dry over night. In addi- tion, Floor Paint must be able to stand constant wash- ing and scrubbing. To secure these results, a class of driers and varnishes must be used that will stand ex- posure to elements. . Lead and oil, as commonly mixed by hand, do not prove satisfactory for this work. Our Inside Floor Paints combine the most durable and the best wear-resisting pigments known. These are ground in tough, elastic oils, which make a paint that will not readily sIioav 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 market today. Cheaper paints may look well for a time, but after a few months your floor begins to scar and becomes unsightly. Use our Guaran- teed Floor Paint and be sure of satisfactory service. One gallon will cover 250 square feet with two coats. We recommend our brush 3B553 for this work. Be sure to state color wanted. For colors see opposite pasre. 3B8100 — One quart can.

The illustration shows the manner in which the rolls are manipulated. There are three rolls, 5% in. long and 1% in. In diameter. The one which is corrugated can be used to imitate any known grain of wood — the other is used to reproduce growth of quarter sawed oak; the third takes the place of the graining combs. This will be found very advantageous in graining. The color, instead of being pushed forward and accumulated in the running points as is frequently the case in other grainers, is allowed to pass between the teeth. With the three rolls one will be prepared to do any kind of oak, ash, chestnut, etc.. graining without having to use any other tools. All that is required is to lay your color on the surface you wish to grain, brushing it out well, then slide the graining roll down the surface you are graining, turning it slowly. Shipping weight, 15 oz. Per Set ggg MAGIC HANDLE GRAINER 3B752— The Magic Handle Grainer. For graining floors, wainscoting, etc. No experience necessary.

You can change the effect by turning the roller over. Shipping weight, 6 oz.

Wood Fibre Veneer For Walls and Floors Looks Like Genuine Wood bat Costs Much Less Fibre Veneer comes in vari- ous wood finishes. Recom- mended for walls of dining room, etc. — is also used for floors. The grain is printed in permanent oil colors, on all wood pulp fibre stock. The light shades may be darkened by using orange shellac and varnish. If you want to retain same color, use our Grip-Tite Wall Sizing 3BS5S (price per lb. 15c), then varnish with our Varnish, 3BS64 3 (price per gallon, SI. 98). Fibre Veneer is also washable with or with- out being varnished. How to Lay Fibre Veneer Apply two coats of ordinary flour paste to the back of tho veneer, allowing the first coat to sitak a few minutes beforo the second coat is applied. men place the veneer on the 4ftS— Plain Oak wall or floor, brushing it out * fiB * rwiu with a whisk broom, or paperhangers' smoothing! brush. After the veneer is thoroughly dry apply a coat of our Orange Shellac, 3BSGS3 (price, per gallon, $1.50), over the surface; or a coat of our Glue Size 3B6027 (price, per package. 15c), if you want a cheaper finish. Allow enough time for the shellac to become dry, then apply a coat or our Floor Varnish, 3BS643 (price, per gallon, SI. 98). On a floor where the cracks are open, we recommend the use of unbleached cot- Ion cloth. Tack the cloth about an inch from the baseboard, covering the entire floor, and stretch it as tightly as possible Prepare the fibre veneer according to above directions, and lay it over the cloth. By laying the veneer close tol the baseboard, you will cover up the tacks. *J or floors, or over woodwork, good results have been obtained by using carpet felt or building paper as a lining for the fibre veneer, applying] the carpet felt or building paper first, and paste the veneer over it. Fibre veneer on floors makes an ideal border around rugs. All Fibre Veneer comes in 8-yard rolls, 3 6 inches wide. All fibre Veneer Parquet Inlaid Border conies in S-yard rolls, IS inches wide.

Automobile Lubricants Proper lubrication is the life of machinery, Realizing this, our chief chemist and hi? assistants have made a thorough study of the requirements of the working parts of various kinds of machinery. Special attention has been given to gasoline motors and farm machinery. When used on the machines fur which recommended, we guarantee that our oils will give the maximum amount of efficiency. Our oil business has grown to such huge dimensions that U was necessary to build a largo four-story modern fire-proof building to take care of it. In this building we have installed sixteen large storage tanks with a capacity of many thousand gallons each. With these and our other facilities we were enabled to purchase oils in tank cars direct from the refiners at a great saving. We in turn give you the benefit of this saving, as an order from these pages or from our Grocery Price List, where we quote a complete line, will prove. AutO Oil (Light) Gravity Flash Firo Cold Viscosity 27 390 440 5 225 at 100 A pale straw-color oil for lubrication by gravity, force-feed or splash system of all styles and types of motors operated under ordinary compression and mechanical conditions. This is a strictly pure mineral oil and has been redis- tilled from the crude to obtain the highest possible fire test consistent with other needed qualities to insure a perfect automobile lubricant. The oil is then subjected to low temperatures by refrigeration and the congealed paraffine waxes removed by hydraulic presses. The resultant oil is thus given the needed cold test. The oil is thoroughly filtered through Fuller's Earth to remove all traces of "Free Carbon." You may pay more for extensively advertised proprietary brands, but it would he hard to improve on the quality. Use freely on all wearing points as well as in the cylinder. Recommended for Motorboats, Motorcycles, Electric Vehicles, or in fact any high speed machinery 4D8452 4D8453 4D8454 2A7468 — 1 gallon squat lithographed can $0.48 2AP7467— » gallon square lithographed can $1.80 2AF7466— 30 gallons (wood) $ 8V10 2AF7480— 30 gallons (steel) .... 9.00 2AF7465— 50 gallons (wood).... 12-00 2AF7479— 50 gallons (steel).... 14-50 AutO Oil (Heavy, Ruby Color) Gravity 26.5 Plash 410 Firo 475 Cold 25 Viscosity 270 at 100 A non-carbonlzlng. heavy-bodied oil for air-cooled motors and motorcycles having force feed of the Indian type, and two-cycle motors when lubrication is had by mixing lubricating oil with gasoline.
