House and Garden 
advise me upon the selection oi these 
also the probable cost of same. If you 
can send me the name of parties from 
whom I can obtain these goods I will ap¬ 
preciate it. 
Answer; There are very attractive 
dull red tiles made in Wales which 
would be satisfactory to you for the 
paving of your patio. These come 
in sizes six by six and nine by nine. 
The cost is 50 cents a square loot. 
I have mailed you the addresses of firms 
from whom you can obtain these. I am 
also sending you the name of a material 
which I would recommend for the 
finishing of the walls in your kitchen. 
This is durable and washable and comes 
in an excellent choice of tints. 
CHOOSING A FINISH AND COLOR FOR 
KITCHEN WALLS 
Please advise me as to correct 
color and finish to use for kitchen 
walls. I want something that is thor¬ 
oughly hygienic and washable. I would 
like a light color. The woodwork in 
the kitchen is of yellow pine finished 
with a high gloss varnish which is im¬ 
pervious to water. 
Answer: If your kitchen is not overly 
light I would advise the light colonial 
yellow or if the exposure is sunny, the 
leaf green would be a good choice. 
HARDWARE AND FIXTURES SHOULD 
COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER. 
I note that you make frequent refer¬ 
ence in your editor’s talks in House 
AND Garden to the great care necessary 
in the selection of hardware and fixtures 
for a house. The house I am building 
is a small apartment house only four 
stories and two apartments to the floor. 
These are all finished in oak woodwork 
stained in varying shades of brown. 
The detail is simple somewhat suggestive 
of mission although it is not exactly that. 
Kindly advise me the kind of fixtures 
and hardware to use in small entrance 
hall, living-room and dining-room and 
bedrooms. 
Answer; In your halls and living- 
rooms we would advise fixtures and hard¬ 
ware of smoked old brass which shows an 
irregular color surface somewhat resem¬ 
bling greenish bronze. 
When you want a paint that will give the 
best possible service — 
A paint that will cover more square feet 
per gallon than any other paint— 
A paint that keeps its color— 
A paint, that when repainting time comes, 
leaves a smooth, hard surface and gives you 
a second job as good as the first— 
Then be sure to insist upon “High Stand¬ 
ard’’ Liquid Paint. The “Little Blue Flag’’ 
identifies it—it’s on every can—for your 
protection. Look for it.

A victory of any kind is only valuable in 
proportion to the tangible results you obtain. 
You know that accomplishing something 
that anyone else can do is not victory— 
—And that applies to paint just as it 
aj^plies to anything else. 
When paint fades, peels, chalks, blisters 
after six months’ wear, it is not a victo¬ 
rious paint. 
It is a victorious paint when it stands for 
three, six, or even more years battle against 
the weather. 
And here’s paint that actually wears that 
long— 
EVERGREENS for early Fall planting. 
Hardy Rhododendrons per thousand. 
All other fine Shrubs, Trees, Vines, 
Perennial Plants and Fruits.
