HAMMOND'S PAINTS, 



FOR ALL PURPOSKS. 



The Painters' Magazine, in the May number, says: 

 "'Hammond's Cottage Colors' are winning their 

 way into the confidence of painters. They are pre- 

 pared of pure material, and without admixture, by 

 means of which unscrupulous manufacturers impose 

 upon the public with their chemical trash called 



its dangerous poisonous qualities, is somewhat 

 in disrepute as a destructive to the Potato Bug. His 

 preparation called • Hammond's slug shot' is not 

 only a perfect destructive to t be Potato Hug, but is at 

 the' same time a powerful tertilizer. It is put up in 

 five-pound packages, at 5 cents per pound, and is war- 

 ranted lo be a complete destroyer of both the slug and 

 old bug."
