Liquid Paints 
are strictly pure linseed oil paints of a higher grade than 
have ever before been manufactured for structural pur¬ 
poses. They are sold by U. S. Standard gallon measure, 
and although they command a higher price than any other 
paints, a saving of 25 to 33 per cent of customary outlay can 
be effected by their ube, in consequence of their wonderful 
covering properties and superior durability. 
The finest and most extensive structures in this country 
are painted with these paints, among others the U. S. Capi¬ 
tol at Washington, the Metropolitan Railroad of New York, 
the Oriental Hotel, Manhattan Beach, as well as thousands 
of the better classes of dwellings everywhere.

trations of elegant dwellings, and other extensive struc¬ 
tures decorated with these paints, describing colors and 
trimmings used, with samples of thirty-two newest shades

styles* in decoration, the H. W. Johns Co. have brought 
out a variety of “ fashionable ” shades which will allow 
every style of outside and inside decoration to be done
