The New, Neat, Hill Dryer Way. 



How to Improve Your 

 Home Surroundings 



Banish the unsightly, inconvenient net-work of 

 clothes lines and poles which now disfigure your 

 yard or lawns. No matter how orderly you arrange 

 the lines or hang your wash the result is still very 

 objectionable to any self-respecting home. 



Every woman desires to avoid the unsightly 

 appearance of a miscellaneous wash — yet the 

 clothes must be aired and dried. What is she to 

 do ? Why simplv get a 



HILL 



CLOTHES 



DRYER 



For Lawn, Balcony or R.oof 



The Hill Dryer is a rotary clothes line. Instead of being 

 spread all over the lawn and supported by numerous poles, the 

 lines are strung on ribs on a revolving reel — so compact that 

 100 to 150 feet of line covers a diameter of less than 14 feet. 



Neat, Compact, Convenient 



Your whole wash is hung while you stand in one place — 

 every line within easy reach. No need to dig paths in the snow 

 or walk on wet grass carrying heavy basketsful of clothes up 

 and down the yard. The Hill Dryer is set up in an inconspic- 

 uous place near the house — leaving the yard clear of all lines 

 and poles. 



Sheets hung on outside lines hide the garments which in- 

 vite comment by the public — a feature every modest woman is 

 quick to appreciate. 



Think of the bother and work a Hill Dryer saves — the rad- 

 ical improvement it makes, Top part folds up like an um- 

 brella so Dryer can be taken apart and taken in, leaving lawn 

 entirely clear of obstructions. What a contrast with old-style 

 always-in-the-way clothes lines.

Paint Talks No. 3 — "Spring Painting 



Spring is the time when most of the painting is done. Nature is 

 brightening all around and the impulse is to make houses and barns 

 and fences bright and in harmony with the new leaves and blossoms. 

 This is good economy. You not only make things spick and span, but 

 you save your property and make it more valuable. 



Only you must use good paint — pure White Lead and linseed oil. 



See that it is put on your building pure. Otherwise, you fail to more 

 than temporarily beautify and fail utterly in preserving the painted things. 

 The Dutch Boy Painter trade-mark is the thing to look for when you 

 buy paint materials — it is on the side of pure White Lead kegs. Ask for 

 it, insist on having it. 



A few more points on your painting: Refuse absolutely to let the work be done in wet 

 weather, or when moisture is on or under the surface. Give your painter plenty of time 

 between coats — make him take several days between. Don't insist on using a tint which a 

 good painter^ tells you is perishable. White Lead is very durable 

 material, but if the tinting material fades out, the job is spoiled. A chain 

 is no stronger than its weakest link. 



Ask your painter about our White Lead (Dutch Boy Painter Trade 

 Mark). Also, your dealer has it.
