This Paint Protects 

 Your Buildings 



PURE WHITE LEAD PAINT really 

 protects your buildings. Forms a 

 tough, elastic film that never cracks, 

 scales or checks. Substitute paint mixtures 

 may temporarily beautify but will not per- 

 manently protect. 



There are several standard brands of 

 Pure White Lead of about the same quality. 

 There is only one 



CARTER 



Strictly Pure 



White Lead 



None are made so carefully — none are so white and 

 fine — none so durable. 



Carter White Lead is chosen by the discriminat- 

 ing for its superior whiteness, beauty of finish, 

 spreading qualities and great durability. 



Carter White Lead is the only lead made by a 

 modern and scientific process that eliminates all im- 

 purities and discoloration. The extreme whiteness 

 of Carter assures strong, true, brilliant and durable 

 colors — remember this point — it's important. 



Carter White Lead costs a trifle more per pound 

 than ordinary leads, but figured by square yards of 

 surface covered — by years of weai — Carter is the 

 cheapest paint you can buy. Sold by all reliable 

 dealers. Insist on its use. 



Send today for our valuable paint book. It tells 

 now to test paint for purity — how to detect adulter- 

 ation before paint is applied. Tells how to select 

 a harmonious and durable color scheme. With the 

 book we send a set of modern color plates — they 

 will give you suggestions for painting your home.

being the same, the 



Permanent Roof is 



CHEAPER

 neither painting nor repairs, excludes moisture, will not catch fire from sparks or falling brands, keeps 

 out heat or cold, is an artistic Indian Red in two shades, which secures beautiful roof tile effects, and is
