50% Cheaper 
than Paint 
100% More Art¬ 
istic than Paint 
Paint now costs more 
than twice as much as 
Cabot’s Shingle Stains, 
and painting costs more 
than twice as much as 
staining, because paint¬ 
ing requires skill, while 
any intelligent laborer 
can apply our stains 
perfectly and rapidly, 
either by using a wide, 
flat brush, or dipping. 
The stains give beauti¬ 
ful coloring effects, soft, deep and transparent, on shingles, siding, or boards. The 
creosote penetrates and thoroughly preserves the wood. You save half your paint¬ 
ing bill, double the beauty of your house, and keep the woodwork sound, by using

and the owner says: 
“Experience has more than justified this method. The second story rooms 
are in summer as cool as those on the first floor, while in winter all the rooms 
are warm and comfortable in the coldest windy weather.” 
* “The cost was $20 
for the whole house, 
and for this $20 the 
owner gets warmth 
and comfort and re- 
d u c e d coal bills as 
long as the house 
stands. Can you make 
a better investment?” 
Quilt is not a mere build¬ 
ing paper. It is a heat¬ 
proof and cold-proof in¬
