The whole atmosphere of this house is made doubly 



attractive — and kept so — by the proper use 



of Sherwin-Williams Paint — SWP 



S W P is the most durable and most economical paint that can be made. It is thoroughly 

 mixed and ground in scientific proportions — pure lead, pure zinc and pure linseed oil, 

 combined with the necessary driers and pigments. It spreads easily and covers the greatest 

 number of square feet to the gallon. And it is made in 48 colors, as well as black and white. 



Our New Portfolio of Plans for Home Decorationcsent free on request) 



will give you some decidedly valuable suggestions, not 

 only on a complete decorative plan for the outside of your 

 house but also for the general scheme and details of the 

 interior. It will be of help to you no matter whether 



you are going to stain a chair, change the decorations of 

 a single room or paint or refinish your whole house, in- 

 side and out. It is a book of practical artistic sugges- 

 tion. We shall be glad to send it — free — for the asking.
