GENUINE PERUVIAN GUANO BASE 
Are not offered in competition with ordinary ferti= 
lizers. They stand in a class by themselves. 
The base of these brands is GENUINE PERUVIAN GUANO with which 
we c mbine such high grade and costly materials as Nitrate of Soda, 
Nitrate of Potash, High Grade Sulphate of Potash and Pure Ground Bone. 
Says rioN. James J. H. Gregory, the veteran market gardener of Marble¬ 
head, Mass.: 
“AT THE HEAD OF FERTILIZERS, as distinguished from barn manure, stands 
GUANO. No one ferti'i/.er lias given such universal satisfaction as GUANO. IT, 
INDEED, IS THE STANDARD by which we almost Instinctively measure the value of all 
other fertilizers.”

DO YOU NEED PAINT? 
L EX me send you my paint book. It will tell you all you want to 
know about paint and painting. The best paint is the cheapest 
paint. I make the best paint. IngersolPs paint has been made for 65 
years. It is m de with scientific accuracy from the best pigments and 
pure linseed oil, tho-ough y combined by machinery—you cannot mix 
good paint with a stick. 
I Can Save You One-Half Your 
Paint Bills 
Other Paints are sold by Dealers or Supply Houses. This method 
requires Salary and expenses of Travelling Salesmen and profits for 
jobbers and retailers. These extra expenses and numerous profits 
you must finally pay when you buy the Paint. If the pricj is low 
the me sure is short or the quality poor—usually both. 
One-half the price you pay the retailer represents the factory cost of 
the Paint. The other half is required for middlemen’s profits and expenses. 
Our Paint is shipped fresh from the factory direct to you. You pay 
simply the f ctory price. You pay no salesmen; no hotel bills; and no 
middlemen o c any kind. The dealer or Supply House may offer you a 
Paint at our price; but they cannot give you cur quality of Paint at our 
price. They must add the cost of their expensive method of selling and 
middlemen’s profits; if they give you our grade of Paint, the cost will 
be double our price. 
Don’t Use Cheap Paints 
offered by Dealers and Supply Houses. They may save you a little on 
first cost, but no more labor is required to paint your buildings with 
Ingersoll Paint than with inferior Store Paint. Poor Paint always 
makes a building look shabby in six months or a year, and is sure to 
make you regret the little saving in the first cost of the material. 
Ingersoll Paints will give you long years of service and look well all 
the time. For 35 years 
Ingersoll Mixed Paints 
have held the exclusive official endorsement of the Grange (P. of H.) 
We can refer you to pleased customers in your own neighborhood. 
We make it easy for you to buy Paint direct from the mill. The 
book will tell you the quantity needed. The order will reach us over 
night, and the paint will be on its way to you in 24 hours. Send your 
address for a beautiful set of sample color cards and our paint book.

Avoid Sight-Destroying 
White Lights 
( (ty rHATEVER nature did 
\\/ for the eagle,’’says Dr. 
vv David T. Day, Chief 
of the Mining and Mineral Re¬ 
sources Division of the U. S. Geo¬ 
logical Survey, “she shirked her 
plain duty of "adjusting the human 
eye to direct sunlight. And since 
offensive lights became common 
she has taught the eye not to etidure 
but only to dodge them." 
Thus does the foremost expert in the 
country warn against the lights that im¬ 
itate direct sunlight too closely. “The 
human eye,” he says, “was not made to 
use the sun’s direct rays.” When we 
read or work by sunlight, we use only the 
indirect—the softened, diffused light of 
the sun. But when we read or work by 
artificial light, we always do and always 
must use the direct rays, for you can’t 
read with someone “standing in your 
light.” 
Therefore artificial light must be softer and 
warmer—like the sun’s INDIRECT rays,—or It 
will be destructive to the eyes. 
And common kerosene is the only known 
illuminant that will supply this soft, rest¬ 
ful light. As Dr. Day says in another 
part of the article above referred to, 
“You may turn to gas or electricity or 
other systems for convenience but not for 
better light. The oil lamp-y-.llow, steady 
and soft, is still and must long remain 
the supreme reading light in general use.” 
But in spite of these facts practically 
all lighting devices manufactured in re¬ 
cent years have been sacrificing quality 
in order to develop a pure white and in¬ 
tensely penetrating light such as acety¬ 
lene and the gas or gasoline mantle 
light. So severe are these lights upon 
the eyes that these manufacturers have 
found it necessary to protect their work¬ 
men in testing the lights with large green- 
glass screens. Because this kind of 
light is so similar to the X-Ray that, like 
that wonderfully penetrating light, it 
pierces the retina of the eye paralyzing the 
optic nerve and soon causing blindness. 
And yet some people, because these 
penetrating qualities enable them to read 
at a long distance from the fixtures, still 
use such eye-destroying lights. Is it 
worth the cost? 
Thousands of people are daily deciding 
that it is not worth the cost. And they 
are discarding these lights and going 
back to the open flame gas and the old 
reliable quality-light of the kerosene 
lamp. But they are not going back to 
the old style lamps, understand, because 
they now find that they can have all the 
quality and economy of the oil light to¬ 
gether with convenience of gas or elec¬ 
tricity 
By Using The Angle Lamp 
The Angle Lamp the most convenient 
lamp ever invented make it also the cheap¬ 
est. For it burns a full 16 hours on one 
quart of oil while the ordinary round wick 
lamp, usually considered the cheapest 
light in the world, burns but 5 to 7 hours 
on the same quantity. 
Now if you have read this advertise¬ 
ment closely, you understand why we of¬ 
fer to prove what a completely satisfac¬ 
tory light The Angle Lamp is by sending 
any lamp listed in our catalog N.N, on 
30 Days’ Trial 
And yon will understand why such people as ex-Pres. Cleveland, the Rockefellers, Carnegles, etc., 
who care nothing about the economical features ol The Angle Lamp have chosen THIS oil-burning lamp 
lor lighting their homes and estates in preference to gas, electricity, acetylene, or any other system. 
1 he Angle Lamp will please you as it does thousands of others. Write for our 
catalog “N.N.” listing 32 varieties from $1.80 up, and giving you information about all 
lighting methods that it would cost you hundreds of dollars to collect.

Because The Angle Lamp is not a mere 
improvement on the ordinary lamp, but an 
entirely new principle of oil 1 i glit which has 
done away completely with the smoke, 
odor and bother of the ordinary lamp. 
The Angle Lamp is lighted and extinguished like 
gas. It requires filling but once or twice a week, 
which may De done with perfect safety while the 
lamp Is lighted. It never smokes nor smells 
whether burned at lull height or TURNED LOW 
like gas.
