Pure Gum 
MJBBEE BOOTS! 
fill Outwear Common Ruler Boots, 
Made by the “CANDEE RUB¬ 
BER CO.” with a view to great 
durability, and differ from ordinary 
Rubber Boots in being entirely free 
from adulterative mixtures. Made 
of Pure Para Gum, compounded 
only with the ingredients necessary 
to “ vulcanize” the goods to insure 
uniform pliability in any tempera¬ 
ture. 
Durability being the point aimed 
at, the Boots are made as pure as 
possible, without regard to a highly 
finished surface, and thesulplmrous 
appearance of the ‘‘Candee” 
Boot is evidence of its purity. 
Buyers should beware of imita- 
tions,- as “dull 
finish” Boots of 
cheap quality are 
on the market and 
are sold to the un¬ 
wary for “Pure 
Boots.” All Pure 
Boots are branded 
thus: : .: No orders received 
: “STANDARD PURE, : at Factorv. Ask 
: L. CANDEE & CO.” ; your dealer for the 
“ Candee” Boot. 
These Paints are in every respect strictly first class , and 
second to no others in the market in purify, richness, and 
permanency of color, beauty of finish, and durability. They 
are prepared ready for tiie brush, in twelve newest shades, 
and standard colors, suitable for the tasteful decoration of 
all classes of buildings, insid-' and out, and for all purposes 
where a perfect protective coating is required. 
They contain no water, alkali, or other useless or dele¬ 
terious ingredients, such as are U6cd in nearly all the liquid 
or so-called chemical paints, and arc guaranteed to be the 
most durable paints in the world for outside icork. 
Owing to the wonderful covering properties of these 
Paints, the farmer, merchant, and manufacturer can, by 
their use, preserve and beautify their buildings, fences, or 
other wood and ironwork, at from one-half to two-thirds 
of the usual cost of other ready mixed paints, or white lead 
and linseed oil. TUT These Paints are sold by standard U. 
S. gallon measure, and our packages contain from eight to 
twelve per cent more paint than those usually sold. 
ASBESTOS ROOF PAINT, for tin and shingle 
roofs, iron-work, agricultural implements, fences, out¬

than has iver before been offered to the public for similar
