Spring Time Is the Beat Time To Make a 30-Day Free Test of a 



COZY CAB 



The clumsy side curtains and storm aprons of the ordinary buggy 

 give you but make-shift and imperfect protection against the driving 

 rains and sudden showers of Spring. Traveling in such a buggy not 

 only brings great discomfort but invites colds and sickness. Enjoy 

 complete protection and comfort this Spring in a Cozy Cab. f~ ide 

 in it 30 days at our expense. Find out how completely and quickly 

 you can shut out every bit of wind, rain and dust. See how beautiful 

 and elegant, how easy riding the Cozy Cab is —how thoroughly com- 

 fortable in all weather. Make the test of the Cozy Cab now, when 

 to be without it means to put up with the discomfort and dangers of 

 wind and wettings. Don't wait. WRITE TODAY FOR OUR 

 CATALOG. It tells all about the COZY C AB-the best buggy 

 for every day in the year — and our :>0-day free trial offer.

lawn roller whose weight can be adjusted to the conditions of 

 your lawn, garden or tennis court 



n . { A light Machine for the soft, wet spring lawn. 



All in One ] A heavy Machine for the hard, dry summer lawn. 



( A heavier Machine for the driveway or tennis court. 

 Why buy one of the old style iron or cement fixed-weight rollers that is generally too heavy 

 or too light to do your lawn the most good, paying for two or three hundred pounds of useless 

 metal — and freight on it as well — when less money will buy the better, more efficient 



"Anyweight " Water Ballast Lawn Roller. 



Remember that a difference of 50 pounds may mean success or ruin to your lawn — a half ton 



I machine will spoil it in early spring, while a 200 lb. roller is absolutely useless later in the season. 



If you desire a fine, soft, springy turf of deep green, instead of a coarse, dead looking 



patch of grass, use an "Anyweight." 



The "Anyweight" Water Ballast Roller is built in 3 sizes, all of 24 inch diameter and of 24, 



_^ and 32 inch widths. The machine shown here (our smallest) weighs but 1 I 5 lbs. empty, 



j 470 lbs. when completely filled with water and 737 lbs. with sand. The other sizes weigh 124 



1 1 32 lbs. empty and from that "anyweight" up to half a ton. Filled in 30 seconds— emptied 



a jiffy. Fully protected by our patents. Runs easy— lasts a lifetime.

A Twenty-Six Year Test 



on roof shingles, proving the wonderful wood-preserving prop- 

 erties of 



Cabot's Shingle Stains 



Mr. W. R. Rider, Gloucester, Mass., writes us March 11, 1910: 

 "Twenty-six years back I used your Shingle Stains. To-day in 

 extending the roof these shingles had to be removed. Not a one 

 decayed in the entire lot, and the house is in a very exposed 

 location." 



Our stains are made of Creosote, the best wood 

 preservative known, combined with the finest and 

 strongest pure colors. They are beautiful, lasting, 

 and one-half cheaper than paint.
