Any shade from Pure White to Jet Black, and, as 
IT IS MIXED READY FOR USE, 
EVERY MAN CAN BE HIS OWN PAINTEU. 
The incorporation ol RUBBER in our paint makes it un- 
eqUaled by any other. It is unaffected by change of tem¬ 
perature. and is perfectly waterproof, ft presents the finest 
possible finish, will not crack or peel off, and is in every way 
the “Best Paint ” for either inside or outside painting, is 
from one-fourth to one-third cheaper, and lasts three times 
as long as the best lead and oil paints. The almost unani¬ 
mous verdict of the many thousands who have us<d our 
paint is that it is far superior to any other paint in i.se. 
Be sure that our TRADE MARK, (a fac simile of 
which is given above,) is on every package.
