others by the gurgling and 
noisy flushing of an old style closet. 
No room in the house seems free 
from these embarrassing sounds. 
You can rid your home of this 
annoyance by telling your plumber 
to put in a 
“ SIWELCLO ” 
Noiseless Siphon Jet 
CLOSET 
The siphoning is done so noiselessly, 
quickly and thoroughly that, even with 
the lid raised, the flushing will not be 
heard outside of its immediate environ¬ 
ment. 
The durability and perfect action of 
the “Siwelclo” is assured because each 
fixture is stamped with “the star within 
the circle” trade mark.

row of nails was driven in 
the floor and run over by a 
“ Pennsylvania ’’ Quality Lawn 
Mower. Each nail was clipped in 
two as easily and cleanly as if done 
with tinsmith shears. 
The “Pennsylvania” is the only mower 
that can do this without injury to its cutting 
knives, because it is the only mower in which 
all the blades are of crucible tool steel, 
hardened and tempered in oil—the same 
kind of steel that is used for tools requiring 
the keenest cutting edges. 
This is the reason why 
“PENNSYLVANIA” 
QUALITY 
Lawn Mowers 
are positively self-sharpening; why the blades 
are always in first-class cutting condition. 
35 years experience in building quality Lawn 
Mowers is back of all “ Pennsylvanias.” This means 
in the finished product, a mower that is self-sharp¬ 
ening, light-running and will wear for many years 
without repairs or re-grinding. 
Your hardware dealer or seedsman will gladly 
show you one of the “Pennsylvania” makes.

Let us HELP YOU with your 
Color Scheme 
Whether your house is half-timbered, shingled all over or rough clap- 
boarded, it should harmonize with its surroundings as well as being artistic 
in itself. Our miniature stained shingles will enable you to decide, right on 
the ground, which colors are best. 
Dexter Brothers’ English Shingle Stains 
do more than beautify—they protect, adding years to the life of the wood. 
And the colors will not fade. The secret lies in the use of the best English 
ground colors mixed in linseed and our own Dexter preservative oils.
