Paint Without Oil 



Remarkable Discovery that Cuts 

 Down the Cost of Paint Seventy- 

 Five Per Cent 



A Free Trial Package is Mailed to Everyone 

 Who Writes 



A. L. Rice, a prominent manufacturer of Adams, 

 N. Y., has discovered a process of making a new 

 kind of paint without the use of oil. He calls it 

 Powdrpaint. It comes in the form of a dry powder 

 and all that is required is cold water to make a 

 paint weather proof, fire-proof, sanitary, and durable 

 for outside or inside painting. It is the cement prin- 

 ciple applied to paint. It adheres to any surface, 

 wood, stone or brick, spreads and looks like oil paint 

 and costs about one-fourth as much. 



Write to Mr. A. L. Rice, Manufacturer, 11 North 

 Street, Adams, N. Y., and he will send you a free 

 trial package, also color card and full information 

 showing you how you can save a good many dollars.
