Home Maker from an

taining advice on the interior finish , decoration and

full of helpful and PRACTICAL suggestions. 
Any questions pertaining to the above addressed to 
Margaret Greenteaf Consulting Decorator for Murphy

LETTER No. 4 
Where the design of the house is 
along Elizabethan or Jacobean Lines 
the stain and finish used upon the wood¬ 
work must be rich in tone providing 
the color time would produce upon the 
wood. This will insure a harmonious 
effect. The finish should be natural 
also, that is, without a high gloss. 
The natural Penetrating Oil Stains 
made by Murphy Varnish Company 
will supply the shades on inexpensive 
as well as on the more costly woods. 
The colors are all true and lasting, 
and when finished by two coats of 
Nogloss Varnish the result is excellent. 
These stains are easy to apply and dur¬ 
able and will make the commonest wood 
appear artistic and handsome. For 
birch a beautiful selection of tones are 
made—silver gray, light and dark 
brown, olive green and two shades of 
mahogany. For oak, ash and chestnut 
—gray, brown and green are especial¬ 
ly pleasing. For yellow pine—brown, 
gray and mahogany or green are at¬ 
tractive, and on white pine, poplar, 
gum, and so forth, beautiful tones 
are secured. 
Write for sample panels showing these fin¬ 
ishes, and if you decide (as you will on seeing 
them) to become a patron of the Company, you 
are entitled to the full service of the Depart¬ 
ment of Decoration, which includes sugges¬ 
tions and samples of wall coverings and drap¬ 
ery materials, cuts of fixtures, furniture and 
rugs. The scheme sent you will be made up 
for your house and is not a stock scheme.
