PAINT WITHOUT OIL 



Remarkable Discovery That Cuts 



Down the Cost of Painting 



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 mak- 

 ing a new kind of paint without the use of oil. 

 He calls it Powderpaint. 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 in- 

 side painting. It is the cement principle ap- 

 plied 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, 23 

 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. Write today.
