White at Last

"I certainly am glad to get this house white. What 

 makes this so much whiter than any paint we ever had 

 before?" 



"Well, I asked Henderson who painted his house last 

 spring and what paint he used. He told me that Davis 

 & Son did the work with Carter White Lead and linseed 

 oil, so I told Davis to send his men up." 

 "Hasn't our house always been painted with white lead? " 

 "Yes, but Carter seems to be whiter than other white 

 leads. Davis showed me a couple of samples of white 

 lead that he said were pure and they both looked gray 

 alongside Carter. He says it's Carter that made Hender- 

 son's house so white, and this looks as if he were right." 



CARTER 



Strictly Pure 



White Lead 



is a perfectly clear, pure white because it is manufactured by 

 a modern process that eliminates even slight impurities and 

 employs no discoloring agents. It is unusually fine because it 

 is being constantly and thoroughly pulverized during the 

 ifteen days it is being chemically changed from pure metallic 

 lead to white lead. 



Carter White Lead is unexcelled in its affinity for linseed 

 oil, its spreading and covering qualities, in durability or in any 

 of the qualities that have made white lead the most widely 

 used white pigment. 



If you are thinking of having your house painted in colors 

 ask your painter or paint dealer to show you a copy of "The 

 Paint Beautiful" portfolio, which shows twelve modern 

 houses painted in up-to-date color combinations. 



Whether yoar house is to be painted in colors or 

 white you should send today for a free copy of "Pure 

 Paint, a Text-book on House-painting'' illustrated with 

 four color plates from "The Paint Beautiful" and con- 

 taining in small space information of great value to 

 property owners.

Ever-bearing Strawberries and Raspberries 



That fruit same year as planted 



I give my personal guarantee that these plants if set out in May will yield an abundance of 

 large delicious berries next September and October and again in Spring same as common 

 June berries. I offer for the first time seed of my iamous 



LONGMEADOW CANTALOUPES 



that I sell each season daily in barrel lots to the hotels Touraine, Parker House. Young's. 

 Copley-Plaza. The Manhattan, Holland House. Waldorf-Astoria, Delmonico's. and all other 

 fine hotels and clubs in Boston and New York. These melons average netting me 30 cents each. 

 Don't buy berry plants or melon seed until you write for my free catalog telling what kinds 

 to grow and how to grow them
