it for no other reason, conies its great value as 

 a paint pigment. There is no known solvent 

 for this material, nor is there any chemical 

 reaction that will affect it. Owing to the 

 linn's special process of milling, it is enabled to 

 obtain a particularly finely divided product. 

 Dixon's Silica-Graphite Paint comes ready to 

 apply, and only in original packages. It is 

 the result of over forty years of constant en- 

 deavor to produce the best article possible. 

 There are authentic instances of twenty-five 

 years' duration, and in just the surroundings 

 as regards moisture and sulphurous fumes that 

 would utterly destroy most paints, where the 

 graphite is wearing perfectly, and, at the same 

 time, resisting atmospheric action. Other forms 

 of graphite and their respective uses may be 

 found fully treated in the literature of the

 and durability, only tells a portion of the 

 story of the modern employment of metal in 

 relation to interior construction. The artistic 

 reaches possible through the skill of the de- 

 signer make its patterns as fine as those in 

 vogue by any other method ; the stamping fur- 

 nishes the relief effects of light and shade, that 

 stand out with exquisite distinctness ; the 

 painting can be done to keep the colors in 

 harmonious mass with all surroundings. 



STEEL STAMPED CEILING. 



These goods that are so valuable in prescrib- 

 ing an applicable remedy, fit, ready and beau- 

 tiful to cover battered and stained ceilings 

 and walls, are being increasingly specified by 

 architects in appropriate combinations suitable 

 for all classes of new buildings. And, then, 

 it is so easily arranged to have a house or any 

 part of it furnished with this decorative and
