Removing the Old Finish 



THAT furniture you have placed to one 

 side because of its shabby appearance 

 can be made to lcok just lrke new. 

 Maybe your chair is a rare and valuable heir- 

 loom and you do not fully appreciate its intrin- 

 sic value. You can easily refinish your furni- 

 ture yourself. First ltmove the finish with 



Johnson's 

 Electric Solvo 



" .4 Perfect Remover of Paint, Varnish and 

 All Finish from Wood, Metal and Glass." 



This preparation will take off all the old 

 finish. If you then discover that your chair 

 is made of mahogany, rosewood, or some 

 equally as beautiful and valuable wood, wipe 

 the chair perfectly dry and then apply a coat 

 of Johnson's Prepared Wax. Or, if you 

 find that your chair is made of ordinary 

 wood apply a coat of Johnson's Dye, either 

 Mahogany, Weathered Oak, Bog Oak, Forest 

 Green or Flemish Oak. This prepares the 

 wood for a finish that is difficult to dis- 

 tinguish from the genuine wood. Then apply 



Johnson's Prepared Wax 



".-1 Complete Finish and Polish for All Wood" 

 It produces a rich, dull finish that is so much desired, but rarely produced. Fine for polishing all furniture and 

 wood-work, no matter how finished. Prevents scratches from showing; marred spots can be touched up without 

 going over the entire surface. Try it. 



Johnson's Electric Solvo and Johnson's Prepared Wax are sold by all dealers in paint. Solvo— Pint can, 40 cents ; quart can, 75 cents; 

 gallon can, $2.50. Prepared Wax— '-s-lb. can, 30 cents; 1 and 2-lb. cans, 60 cents per lb.; 4, s and S-lb. cans, so cents per lb. If your paint
