Here’s Paint 
Assurance 
OU paint primarily for Arotection—For beauty 
of appearance, too. 
But you’re paying for protection you don’t 
get if your paint doesn’t wear at least four to six 
years; or more. 
Now, suppose you use “White-Lead-and-Oil— 
hand-mixed-by-guess”—what assurance have you 
that your paint will wear? 
The pfaznter answers only for the work— 
_ The lead-and-oil dealer sells only the raw mater- 
zals—he has nothing to do with the qualzty—the pro- 
dortions—the mixing — 
The White Lead manufacturer stands responsi- 
ble for nothing but the Zead—IE it’s straight, z¢’s guar- 
anteed Aure—that’s all. 
The O72 manufacturer stands tesponsible for 
nothing—his oil is sold in bulk—it may be adulter- 
aied after it leaves his hands. 
They shzft the responsibility—Vobody stands back 
of that kind of paimt—Nobody vouches for a single 
one of the Materials after it’s mixed into padnt. 
But take the best vepared paint— 
It’s a complete faint—all-ready-for-the-brush. The 
Lowe Brothers zame, their thirty-five years of ex- 
derience, their reputation, their vesponszbzlity—their 
scientific knowledge—all are back of “High Stana- 
ard” Paint—for “‘your protection.” 
Lowe Brothers vouch for the vaw materzals, the 
formule, the proportions—the grinding and mixing— 
They stand responsible for the paint ztself—ready- 
ito:272)7 
Its “covering” capacity—its “spreading ’’ and 
“working” qualities—its permanence, its wearing 
qualities. 
If you use a hand-mixed white-lead-and-oil paint 
—the most you can know is that you bought the 
raw materials for “‘pure.” 
But when you use Lowe Brothers “High Stand- 
ard” Paint, you know that the paznt ztself is right— 
And, most 7mportant, it will give a good surface 
for repainting, if properly put on a surface in good 
condition for painting. That means economy. 
There’s a “High Standard” Paint for every pur- 
pose—and a “Little Blue Flag” Varnish for all 
requirements. 
On every can you’ll find the “Little Blue Flag’’— 
yourprotection.”’ Writefor Booklet,‘ Attractive Homes 
and How to Make Them.”

“The Little Blue Flag” 
—Your Protection 
Cool—Light— 
Airy Rooms 
Your home will be more comfortable, 
more sanitary, more pleasing and more 
artistic when the walls are decorated 
with Alabastine. 
You practically seal up the walls of the 
room when you decorate with wall-paper 
(put on with paste) or with kalsomine 
(which is stuck to the walls with animal 
glue). Both paste and glue decay and 
afford breeding places for disease germs 
and insects. Alabastine does neither. 
The Sanitary Wall Coating 
is made from a pure, antiseptic rock and when 
applied to the wall, hardens and becomes a part 
of it, the same as plaster. Plaster is porous. So 
is Alabastine. Air permeates freely through the Alabas- 
tined wall, while it cannot penetrate the wall covered 
with paste or glue. 
The dainty Alabastine tints harmonize perfectly with | 
pictures, woodwork and furnishings, and the immense 4 
variety of color combinations enable you to show your indi- 
vidual taste in the decoration of your home. The sanitary 
character of Alabastine makes it the ideal wall decoration for 
rooms used for public gatherings. The soft tints make it 
especially suitable for church auditoriums and school rooms. 
Alabastine is sold in carefully sealed and properly 
labeled packages at 50e for white and 55c for tints, 
at all Paint, Drug, Hardware and General Stores. 
See that the name ‘‘Alabastine’’ is on each package 
before it is opened, either by yourself or workmen. 
Send 10c in coin or U.S. stamps for the book “‘Dainty Wall Decorations,” 
which contains complete plans in color for decorating homes, churches and 
school houses in dainty Alabastine tints. This book is worth far more to 
anyone who intends to decorate.
