Trinidad Lake as¬ 
phalt is what makes 
roofing last. 
Man has never 
been able to produce 
its equal any more 
than he has succeed¬ 
ed in making a real 
diamond. 
This natural as¬ 
phalt contains nat¬ 
ural oils which stay 
in the roofing, and 
give it life to resist 
rain, sun, wind, heat, 
and cold—and it does 
not crack or leak. 
Genasco is the roofing for all 
your buildings. It has different 
surfaces — mineral or smooth. 
Comes in rolls. Ready and easy 
for anyone to lay. Ask your 
dealer for Genasco. Write for 
samples and the valuable Good 
Roof Guide Book — free. 
The Kant-leak Kleet, for 
smooth-surface roofings, pre¬ 
vents nail-leaks and securel}' 
waterproofs the seams without 
cement. 
The Barber Asphalt Paving Company 
Largest producers of asphalt, and larg¬ 
est manufacturers of ready roofing in 
the world.

I N addition to the economy, beauty of design and assurance 
of long service, the refining influence of a ^'^\andavd" bath¬ 
room equipment must be taken into consideration. 
The cultivation of clean and sanitary instincts in children is of 
itself ample reason why you should insist on ''Standard" equip¬ 
ment for your bathroom. 
Genuine ^^tatldard" fixtures for the 
Home and for School, Office Buildings, 
Public Institutions, etc., are identified 
by the Green and Gold Label, with the 
exception of one brand of baths bearing 
the Red and Black Label, which, while 
of the first quality of manufacture, 
have a slightly thinner enameling, and 
thus meet the requirements of those 
who demand ‘‘^\Q,ud&,vd" quality at less 
expense. All ^i$tatldard'' fixtures, with 
care, will last a lifetime. And no fix¬ 
ture is genuine unless it bears theguai- 
antee label. In order to avoid the 
substitution of inferior fixtures, specify 
'^^tandard'' goods in writing (not ver¬ 
bally) and make sure that you get them.

If your Fruit Trees last summer looked as though 
there was something the matter with them: 
If the crop was smali, ill-shaped, not juicy, shriv¬ 
eled up, and fell off: 
Insects and Fungus Diseases are seriously attacking 
them, and 
The only way to Save the Trees, have Large Crops, 
Perfect Fruit, and Luxuriant Foliage is to spray with 
pure, effective, safe Insecticides and Fungicides.
