AM the paint man. 

 I have a nczv way 

 of manufacturing 

 andsellinR paints. It's 

 unique — iCs better. It 

 revolutionized the paint 

 business of this country 

 last year. 



Before my plan was 

 invented paint was sold 

 in two ways — either 

 ready-mixed or the in- 

 gredients were bought and mixed by the painter. 

 Ready-mixed paint settles on the shelves, form- 

 ing a sediment at the bottom of the can. The 

 chemical action in ready-mixed paint, 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 proper- 

 ly made on account of lack of the heavy mixing 

 machine. 

 My paint is unlike any other paint in 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 thick pigment, which lis double 

 strength, freshly ground, in separate cans, and 

 in another can. I ship the pure, old process 

 Linseed Oil — the kind you used to buy years ago. 

 Any child can stir them together. 



I sell my paint direct from my factory to 

 user you pay no dealer ormiddleman profits. 



My $100.00 Cash Guarantee 



I guarantee, under $100 Cash Forfeit, 

 that the paint I am offering you does 

 not contain water, benzine, whiting, or 

 barytes — and that n\y Oilo is pure, old- 

 fashioned linseed oil and contains ab- 

 solutely no foreign substance whatever. 



I guarantee t he frciffht on six gallons or over. 



My paint is so good that 1 make tliis wonder- 

 fully fair test offer: 



When you receive your shipment of paint, 

 you can use t-wo full sailo7is — that will cover 

 600 square feet of wall — two coats. 



If. after you have used that much of my 

 paint, you are not perfectly satisfied with it in

every detail, you can return the remainder of 

 your order and the two eallons 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 th.s 

 offer. 



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

 six months' time, if desired. 



This gives you an opportunity to paint your 

 buildings when they need it. and pay for the 

 paint at your convenience. 



Back of my paint stands my Eight- 

 Year officially signed, iron-clad 

 Guarantee. 



For further particulars regarding my plan 

 of selling, and complete color card of all 

 colors, send a postal to O, L. Chase, St. Louis, 

 Mo. I will send my paint book — the most com- 

 plete book of its kind ever published — abso- 

 lutely free. Also my instruction book entitled 

 "This Little Book Tells How to Paint" and 

 copy of my s-year guirantee.

tofore held under the management of the 

 National Fanciers' and Breeders' Associa- 

 tion. The exhibits of stock, incubators, 

 breeders, appliances, foods, everj'thing 

 pertaining to the poultry, pigeon and pet- 

 stock industry, will be more wonderful 

 than ever. Plans now are being per- 

 fected to make the exhibition, whether 

 from the viewpoint of the exhibitor, visitor 

 or management, better than ever before. 

 Premium lists giving all necessary infor- 

 mation will be issued about December 

 15. Strawberry folk interested in poultry 

 should write to the secretary, Fred L. 

 Kimmey, 325 Dearborn street, Chicago,

The Strawberry-Raspberry 



THERE has been some discussion of 

 what has been called the "straw- 

 berry-raspberry." In view of the 

 interest this discussion has evoked, the 

 following from a correspondent to Farm 

 and Fireside will be of value to our 

 readers: 



"The plant sent out under the name of 

 strawberry-raspberry, is not a hybrid plant 

 at all, and the name is a misnomer. This 

 plant comes to us from Japan. It is an 

 herbaceous plant, and while it produces 

 very brilliantly colored large fruit, this is 

 regarded as of little value for commercial 

 purposes. I have occasionally seen parties 

 who used it for canning purposes and 

 speak well of it, but in my personal ex- 

 perience it has been of no account com- 

 mercially. So far as propagating itself is 

 concerned, I have been most troubled 

 about preventing its propagating itself and 

 spreading all over the garden. It pro- 

 duces a large number of suckers each 

 year, which grow to the height of two or 

 three feet the first season. 



"It would seem as though there ought

to be a good field for this class of rasp- 

 berries — which die to the ground in win- 

 ter — and at one time I was very enthus- 

 iastic over some of them. About seven 

 years ago I received from the United 

 States Government a plant of similar 

 character to the strawberry-raspberry un- 

 der the name of J?i/iiis .vanthocarpiis and 

 was told that the thing to do was to prop- 

 agate it as fast as possible, as it was valu- 

 able. I gave it the best of cultivation 

 and it produced an enormous number of 

 suckers, growing to the height of perhaps 

 eighteen inches. I grew it for six years, 

 and in all that time failed to get a single 

 fruit. An acquaintance of mine to whom 

 I sent it had a similar experience and dug 

 it out, but some of it had spread to the 

 headlands of his nursery where the horses 

 were turned on it. On this land he one 

 year had a good crop of large yellow fruit 

 fairly good in quality. The way the 

 plant propagates in the soil reminds me 

 very much of the Canada thistle, and it is 

 got rid of with considerable difficulty. It 

 is possible that we shall get something 

 from Asia yet in this line of value com- 

 mercially, but thus far nothing has ap- 

 peared." This will be of interest to sev- 

 eral inquiring Strawberry readers.
