Stained with Caior'l Shingle Stains 

 Davis, McGrath Sf Shepard, Architects, N. Y. 



Stain Your Bungalows 



Don't paint them. Stain them all over, roofs, siding 

 and trimmings with 



Cabot's Creosote Stains 



The gloss of paint does not harmonize with the bungalow idea, but 

 the soft, deep colors of our stains suit perfectly. They are not 

 "painty" but rich and transparent, bringing out the grain of the 

 wood and increasing its natural beauty. They cost only half as 

 much as paint and only half as much for labor to apply. If your 

 bungalow is m the woods, where skilled labor can't be had, you 

 can do your own staining with perfect results. Our stains are made 

 of the strongest and finest colors, ground in linseed oil, and special- 

 ly refined Creosote "the best wood preservative known." 

 Cabot's Stains are sold all over the country. Send 

 for- stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.

Trees treated now by Davey 

 Tree Experts will show 

 marked improvement next 

 spring. 



The splendid condition of the trees of 

 many of America's and Canada's 

 finest estates, on the Capitol grounds 

 at Washington, in the public parks of 

 numerous cities, bear testimony to 

 the skill and thoroughness of 



Davey Tree Experts 



Many of these trees were weak— Some 

 were far advanced in decay and 

 disease, but through proper treat- 

 ment were enabled to withstand the 

 severest ravages of the terrible 

 storms which wrecked so many trees 

 in your vicinity this year. 



Let a Davey Tree Expert Examine your trees now 



and report on their condition. This we will 

 do without cost or obligation to you. Write 

 for booklet "A" and state when it will be 

 most convenient to have this expert examin- 

 ation made.
