"I wish 



our windows looked 



like that" 



tf you are not wholly satisfied with the appear- 

 ance of your windows, perhaps you have over- 

 looked the importance of the shade. 



Thousands of women who made this mistake 

 have discovered in Brenlin Unfilled Window 

 Shades possibilities for artistic window treat- 

 ment never dreamed of before. 



Go to your dealer and "discover" Brenlin for 

 yourself. See particularly the prevailing 1 new 

 color, Vandyke Brown. See also Brenlin Duplex 

 — light one side, dark the other. 



Made of closely woven clcth without that " fill- 

 in?" which in the ordinary shade so soon cracks 

 and falls out in unsightly streaks and "pin- 

 holes," you will find Brenlin Unfilled Shades by 

 far the cheapest in the end.

 best window shade values at their prices.

ALL PAINT is composed of one or more 

 pigments and a vehicle or liquid. White 

 Lead is the most widely used white pigment 

 because it is the only one that can be success- 

 fully used by itself for exterior painting. It 

 has a natural and lasting affinity for linseed oil. 

 They unite to form a tough and leathery paint 

 skin which anchors firmly in the pores of the 

 wood and keeps out the destroying elements. 

 This film stretches in hot weather and shrinks 

 in cold without breaking. 



Carter is the strictly pure 

 white lead of our forefathers, 

 only whiter, finer and more 

 perfectly made, due to an im- 

 proved modern process. Carter 

 makes the whitest white paint 

 for white houses and, with 

 the addition of the proper tinting colors, 

 most beautiful and durable colored paints. 



Among painters Carter is known as "The 

 Lead with the Spread,'' because it has unusual 

 covering and spreading qualities. While there 

 are white leads which cost less by the pound 

 and paints which cost less by the gallon, none 

 cost less per square yard of surface painted 

 except some that would be dear at any price. 

 Instead of cracking and scaling like paints 

 that contain hard and inelastic pigments, pure 

 Carter White Lead 

 andlinseed oil paint 

 wears gradually 

 and though soiled 





by years of exposure, still fills the pores of 

 the wood, resists moisture, prevents decay , and 

 what is important, is ready forrepainting with- 

 out burning or scraping or any other expensive 

 preliminary treatment. 



"Pure Linseed oil is the life of paint." It 

 absorbs oxygen from the air and becomes hard 

 and elastic. It does not evaporate, but actually 

 increases in weight as it dries. Other oils 

 strike into the wood, entirely or partially 



evaporate, or never dry at all. 



There is nothing that is cheaper 



than pure linseed oil which can 



be used safely. 



\ M \§k\ m mA a ^ M ^fc^>^# While the application of paint 

 WW Mm mm %* *Mm%ffmmU appears a simple matter, the 



services of a competent painter 

 are worth more than their 

 mere labor value. He will show you "The 

 Paint Beautiful" portfolio of color schemes 

 and help you to select suitable and durable 

 colors. He will reproduce exactly, any colors 

 you may select. He will adapt his paint to 

 suit the conditions of the surface to be painted 

 and if any special treatment is necessary, he 

 will know what to do and will do it. 



To secure a permanently satisfactory job of 

 painting, go to a competent and reliable 

 painter and specify "Carter White Lead and 

 pure linseed oil" when you ask for an esti- 

 mate. The price may be a little lower if you 

 simply specify "paint," but it is pretty cer- 

 tain to cost you more in the long run.

 Book on House-Painting." It goes further into the whys and wherefores 

 and tells you how to test paint in the pot or on the building for purity.
