HOW TO PA NT 



Buggies, farm wagons, farming tools, barns, outbuildings and 

 houses often need painting. ••Everybody's Paint Book," written by a thorough- 

 ly practical painter, will be found a complete guide to the art of outdoor and indoor painting. 

 It is deigned for the special use of those who wish to do tlieir own painting. It gives 

 practical lessons in plain painting, varnishing, polishing, Staining, paper hang- 

 ing, kalsoniining, etc. 



It also tells how to renovate furniture and gives many hints on artistic work 

 for decorating a home. Precise directions are given for mixing paints for all purposes. 



If farming tools and farm vehicles are kept painted, they will last twice as long, and 

 anybody can do the work with the aid of this book. It is handsomely and substantially 

 "bound in cloth. A copy will be sent postage prepaid on receipt of price, $1.00
