WHITE ENAMEL 



50% Cheaper than Paint 

 100% More Artistic than Paint 



Paint now costs more than twice as much as Cabot's Stains, and 

 painting costs more than twice as much as staining, because the 

 stains can be applied more than twice as fast, using a wide, flat 

 brush, or dipping. The coloring effects are soft, deep, and trans- 

 parent— not painty— on shingles, siding, or boards, and the creosote 

 penetrates and thoroughly preserves the wood. You save half 

 your painting bill, double the beauty of your house, and keep the 

 woodwork sound by insisting upon using the genuine.
