 substantial than wood, 

 more attractive than 

 brick or stone, and at 

 about half the cost, was 

 built of holloiv concrete 

 building blocks. 



Our block machines 

 are easy to operate, 

 and not high priced.

I Am the 



AM the paint man. 

 I have a ne'cV way 

 of manufacturing 

 and seliingf paints. It's 

 nmqne—ii's better. 



Before my plan was 

 invented paint was sold 

 in two ways — either 

 ready-mixed or the in- 

 /CL^y /O^ gredients were bought 



CaAj L^^t^tLA^- and mixed by the painter. 

 St. Louis, Mo. Ready-mixed paint settles 



on the shelves, forming a sediment at the bottom 

 of the can. The mineral in ready-mixed pamt, 

 when standing in oil, eats the life out of the oil. 

 The oil is the very life of all paints. 



Paint made by the painter cannot be properly 



made on account of lack of the heavy mixmg 



machine. . .,.,.. ,, 



My paint is tinlike any other pamt m the world. 



It is ready to use, but not ready-mixed. 



My paint is made to order after each order is 



received, packed in hermetically sealed cans 



with the very day it is made stamped on each 



can by my factory inspector. 



I ship my pigment— which is white lead, zinc, 

 drier and coloring matter freshly ground, after 

 order is received— in separate cans, and in an- 

 other can I ?^h\p my O\\o,\vh\ch\& pure old process 

 linseed oil, the kind that you used to buy years 

 ago before the paint manufacturers, to cheapen 

 the cost of paint, worked in adulterations. 



I sell ray paint direct from my factory to user 

 at my very low factory price; you pay no dealer 

 or middleman profits. 

 /pay the freisht on six gallons or over. 

 My paint is so good that I make this wonder- 

 fully fair test offer: 



When you receive your shipment of paint, you 

 can lite two full gallons - that will cover over 600 

 square feet of wall— two coats.

Pmlnt Man 



If, after you have used that much of my paint, 

 you are not perfectly satisfied with it in every 

 detail, yozi can return the remainder of your 

 order and the two gallons will not cost you one 

 penny. 



No other paint manufacturer ever made such 

 a liberal offer. . 



It is because I manufacture the finest paint, 

 put up in the best way, that I can make this 

 offer. , ^ . 



I go even further. I sell all of my paint on six 

 mont/is' titne, it desired. 



This gives you an opportunity to paint yout 

 buildings when they need it, and pay for the 

 paint at your convenience. 



Back of my paint stands 



my Might Year, ofRcially 

 signed iron-clad Guaran- 

 tee.

Thia is the longest and most lib- 

 eral guar.aiuee ever jjut on a paint.
