The Value of Screens of "Pearl" 

 P 



ROTECT your home and the health of your treasures against 

 germ -carrying insects night and day. Flies and mosquitoes are 

 the greatest carrier of disease known. Keep them out. Screen 

 your door and windows; screen your porches, and especially 

 screen your sleeping porch— with PEARL WIRE CLOTH. 



PEARL WIRE CLOTH is a health as well as a comfort necessity. 

 Its patented metallic coating gathers no dirt — keeps it clean — 

 makes it sanitary, beautiful and lasting. Lasts longer, and 

 so is therefore most economical. 



Buy only the genuine. Two copper wires in the selvage and our red 

 tag on every roll. 



Call on our local dealer or write direct for samples and liter- 

 ature if you're interested in screen material. Address 

 Dept. "G." 



There is more health 



in a well screened 



house than in many a 



doctor's visit
