Stained with Cabot's Creosote Stains 
Wilson Eyre, Architect, N. Y. 
For Shingles, Siding, Boards 
and all other outside wood¬ 
work it will pay you to use 
Cabot's Creosote Stains 
They give soft, transparent 
coloring effects that bring 
out the beautiful grain of 
the wood, and never look 
“painty.” They cost less 
than half as much as paint, 
and can be put on twice as 
quickly. The Creosote 
penetrates and thoroughly 
preserves the wood. They 
are the only genuine wood¬ 
preserving stains and the 
most harmonious and suit¬ 
able colorings for modern 
country and suburban 
houses, bungalows, camps 
and cottages. 
You can get Cabot’s Stains all over 
the country. Send for stained wood 
samples and name of nearest agent.
