"The Adventures of 

 Bobby Orde" 



"In one sense it is the finest thing [the Grand 

 Rapids novelist has done. It shows a [finer and 

 sweeter knowledge of human nature than any of 

 his big novels of the lumber woods and of advent- 

 ures by sea and land. He has gone straight to the 

 heart and motives of the normal healthy child, and 

 that is why, while it is the story of a boy, it is very 

 much a story for grownups and will appeal iner- 

 ringly to every man who has not forgotten his 

 queer impulses, his bashfulness and his devoted 

 friendships and little chivalries while he was him- 

 self a boy." — Grand Rapids Evening Press. 



Illustrated. Fixed Price $ 1 .20 (postage 12c) 



"The Rules of the Game" 



"It is full of adventure, and has a climax of ab- 

 sorbing interest." — Si. John Globe. 



Illustrated. Fixed Price $ 1 .40 {postage 15c) 



"The Cabin" 



" ' The Cabin ' has somehow captured the spell 

 of the wild woods and the brooding peace of the 

 mountains. ' The Cabin ' is gotten up in the style 

 that charms one utterly before the first page is 

 read, and the illustrations make you feel perfectly 

 wild to be up and away to the Sierras." — Lexing- 

 ton Herald.

The walls of this room are beautified and made 

 sanitary with Sherwin-Williams Flat-tone 



They can be cleaned with soap and water, and they are just as durable 

 as they are attractive. Every painter can give you a Flat-tone wall 

 if you ask for it. If you haven't decided on the color, our new 

 Portfolio of Plans for Home Decoration 



(sent free on request) will help you. It is a decorating guide for 

 you and your painter as well. It will prove as helpful to you in 

 painting a wall or staining woodwork and furniture as in decorat- 



ing an entire house. It is a book of artistic results and how to 

 secure them. It covers the whole house, a single room or a 

 small detail. Whatever your painting need, the portfolio 

 shows you the color, and tells you the Sherwin-Williams prod- 

 uct which produces it.
