EVERT ONE THEIR OWN PAINTER. 



50 Per Cent. Saved. 



We are manufacturing a very fine Pure Ready- 

 mixed Paint, mixed in such a manner that any ordi- 

 nary stable or farm hand can make as good a job 

 painting as a painter can with paint mixed in the old 

 way. This is because our paint does not Bet quick, 

 and thus show marks of the brush. We sell it lower 

 than materials can be bought in the ordinary way, 

 and pay freight in certain sized orders. 



Any gentleman wishing to paint up his buildings 

 at small expense had better write, and have sent 

 free our book.
