PAINT TALKS No. 9— 



Advantages of Fall Painting 



The fall of the year offers several advantages as a 

 painting time, First, and most important, surfaces 

 are almost sure to be dry; there is no frost or inner 

 moisture to work out after the paint is applied. 

 There are no flies or gnats about to stick in the 

 paint and mar the finished surface; there is less 

 dust. Paint applied in the fall means protection 

 against the penetrating winter storms: it means less 

 likelihood of finding rotted joints and opened fis- 

 sures in the spring. 



Pure White Lead and Linseed Oil (tinted as de- 

 sired) give a reliable winter coat to a building — an 

 armor against the hardest attacks of the weather. 

 White Lead and Linseed Oil paint does not crack 

 open and scale off. It stays on until gradually worn 

 off — leaving an excellent surface for repainting.

One of the Quaintest Pieces of 

 Colonial Furniture Ever Reproduced 



The "Scrooge and Marley" Strong Box 



EFORE the days of national banks, our ancestors had to keep 

 their valuables in various sorts of chests and cupboards. Thus 

 we find the "Bureau Desk," and other cabinet-pieces containing 

 secret drawers. 



The family plate was kept in the "Strong Box," of which this picture 

 shows one of the quaintest and sturdiest examples. 



These Strong Boxes so appeal to lovers 

 of Colonial, that we now equip them with a 

 standard steel fire-proof combination-safe ; 

 and they are widely used, not only for plate, 

 but in bedrooms, as a convenient and safe 

 repository for jewels and money. 



It goes without saying that a "Scrooge and 

 Marley" Strong Box will add an indescribably 

 old-fashioned touch to any room. 



Made of solid Honduras mahogany, very rich 

 and figury, in "egg-shell" finish; bound 

 with satin-finished brass bands. Solid brass 

 handles. 



Width (overall) 24 inches ; height (overall) 

 30 inches; price, including safe, $92.50 



No. D — 329 The "Scrooge and 

 Marley" Strong Box.

 ductions from our catalogue-folio "FOREFATHERS'
