To Prove That You Can Artistically Color and 

 Finish Any IQind of Wood About the Home 



You can produce any desired shade and effect- The expense is slight— the work 

 easy and simple. First apply Johnson's Wood Dye — made in 14 shades as 

 listed below. Over the Dye lightly apply Johnson's Prepared Wax — and you 

 have a beautiful, rich, subdued finish that will not mar or show scratches. 



Johnson's Wood Dye must not be confused with colored varnishes or stains, which 

 merely coat the surface of the wood hiding the natural grain beauty. Johnson's Wood 

 Dye is not a mere stain — not merely a surface dressing — it is a deep-seated dye which 

 goes to the very heart of the wood and stays there, fixing a rich and permanent color. 



Johnson's Wood Dye 



is nuide in fourteen attractive shades, as follows: 



No. 126 Light Oak 

 No. 123 Dark Oak 

 No. 125 Mission Oak 



No. 140 Manilla Oak 

 No. 110 Bog Oak 

 No. 128 Light Mahoganv 

 No. 129 Dark Mahogany 



No. 130 Weathered Oak 

 No. 131 Biou'H Weatliered Oak 

 No. 132 Green U^eatliered Oak 

 No. 121 Moss Green 



No. 122 Forest Green 

 No. 172 Flemish Oak 

 No. 178 Brown Flemish Oak 



Pints, 50 cents each. 



Johnson's Prepared Wax 



dries quickly over Dye or any other finish so that it may be brought to a beautihil, dull, artistic 

 finish. It should be used for all woodwork, floors and furniture including pianos and is just 

 the preparation for Mission furniture. 



Johnson's Under-Lac 



is not a common varnish— but a thin, elastic sjiirit preparation 

 superior to shellac or ordinary varnish, and is to be used over 

 Wood Dye where a higher gloss than a wax finish is desired, 

 drying hard in half an hour. Best preparation for linoleuni 

 and oilcloth, bringing out the pattern as glossy as new. Gallons, 

 $2.50 — smaller sizes down to half pints.
