Make the 
fireplace 
the focus 
j 
of the room ! 
Above all things the fire¬ 
place must be attractive, 
because it is the spot around 
which the family gathers. 
In most cases the first reason for 
| using tile is a sanitary one, but | 
I I in the case of the fireplace it is I 
• . ^ 
an aesthetic one. You put tile | 
around the fireplace for beauty. 
Incidentally it is a good protec- 
Ition against fire. You use tile f 
because it is burnt clay, and both f 
| in color and texture suggests an | 
| association with fire. 
We have prepared four booklets: “Tilesfor 'i 
Fireplaces,” “TilefortheBathroom,” “ files | 
for the Kitchen and Laundry,” "Tiles on ^ 
the Porch Floor." which we send free to f 
homebuilders. You would do well to read i 
them before perfecting your plans.

Let us help you with your Color Scheme 
Whether your house is half-timbered, shingled all over or 
rough clap-boarded, it should harmonize with its surround¬ 
ings as well as being artistic in itself. Our miniature stained 
shingles will enable you to decide, right on the ground, 
which colors are best. 
Dexter Brothers English Shingle Stains 
do more than beautify—they protect , adding years to the life 
of the wood. And the colors will not fade. The secret lies in 
the use of the best English ground colors mixed in linseed 
and our own Dexter Preservative Oils.
