Cabot’s Old Virginia White 
The Clean, Brilliant **Whitewash~White** 
Old Virginia White has real distinction. It is a softer but brighter white 
than paint, and its texture is essentially different. It is as handsome as new 
whitewash and as lasting as paint—though cheaper. It has the genuine old 
Colonial effect and when combined with 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
on the roof the result is so thoroughly harmonious and distinguished that your 
house is sure to represent the latest and best in exterior decoration. 
Yon can get Cabot’s Stains all over the country. Send 
for stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.

For Beautiful Weed-Free Lawns 
TflWW SILICfflie 
KILLS WEEPS - NOT GRASS 
renders invaluable service to every home, 
estate and club. You can have beautiful lawns 
•—without paying the excessive cost of hand- 
weeding—without disfiguring the lawn— 
without injury to the grass. 
Merely sprinkle Lawn Silicate on the weeds. 
Being a powder, it sifts past the perpendicu¬ 
lar-growing grass and settles only on the fiat- 
lying weeds. The chemical burns into the 
weed and is drawn down to the very root— 
killing the weed permanently.
