You Are Sure of 



Cabot's Shingle Stains 



They have been the standard for more than twenty- 

 five years, and are specified by nine-tenths of the archi- 

 tects, who know them from experience. Their colors are 

 soft rich and beautiful, and guaranteed fast. Their 

 vehicle is Creosote, which thoroughly preserves the wood, 

 and they contain no kerosene or other cheapener. Why 

 experiment with unknown stains, when you are sure of 

 Cabot's. If a substitute is used on your house you are 

 the loser. 



You can get Cabot's Stams all over t/ie country. 

 Send for samples and the name of nearest agent.
