What's in a Name? 



More, perhaps, than you think 



IF YOU PAINT 



Turpentine adulterated with petroleum is 

 named " pure " turpentine by many dealers, 

 and sold at attractive prices — much below 

 the price of genuine turpentine. 



This is why a painter writes us that he can- 

 not afford to use Allpine Painters' Turpen- 

 tine, because he is buying " pure " turpen- 

 tine at 45 cents per gallon. 



The market on turpentine during the past 

 year has been between 61 and 72 J cents per 

 gallon. Petroleum, the favorite adulterant 

 of turpentine, sells for 15 cents a gallon. 

 Can't you see what you get when you buy 

 the ordinary "pure" turpentine of commerce? 



When turpentine represents such a trivial 

 part of your painting expense can you really 

 afford to use the adulterated article because 

 it is a few cents a gallon cheaper? Just try 

 the really pure turpentine once and notice 

 the difference. 



Allpine Painters' Turpentine 



is pure. It is put in sealed cans like the 

 above, and is guaranteed to be free from any 

 adulterant. 



Ten Gallons (2 cans in case) $8.50 



If your dealer won't supply you with All- 

 pine Turpentine, we will, and we will pay 

 the freight.

 fertilizer for the Vegetable and Flower Garden and Orchard, promoting 

 a steady, rapid growth. It is non-odorous, is cleaner and richer than

 Give the plants a thorough soaking with 

 water when you are ready to plant them, and 

 you will be surprised to find how easily they 

 slip out of the pots. Take your plants to the 

 bed, placing each plant on it, just where you 

 are going to plant it. Now you are ready to

 of the pot on the trowel handle. If you have 

 never done this before you will be surprised 

 to see how easily the plant slips from the pot, 

 the ball of earth not even cracking. The 

 plant is placed in the hole and soil drawn 

 around it and firmed. When finished the 

 plant should be just a little deeper in the 

 ground — not over half an inch — than it was 

 in the pot. When all the plants are set 

 give the bed a thorough soaking to settle the 

 soil.
