After being in use for 
Nearly a Century 
is just as popular as ever, 
BECAUSE: 
IT is a Floral Extract of 
absolute purity and endur¬ 
ing fragiance ; it refreshes 
and revives as does no other 
Perfume; it is delightful in 
the Bath and the finest thing 
after Shaving: because it is, 
in fact, the most reliable and 
satisfactory Toilet Perfume 
made. 
ASK YOUR DRUGGIST FOR IT.

THE OLD WA Y 
THE COLONIAL WAY 
NO MORE SMOKY FIREPLACES 
The problem of a PERFECT fireplace solved at last! An absolutely SMOKELESS fireplace gruar- 
anteed. No need to poke around in a sooty opening: and ruin clothes and temper in an attempt to 
regulate a clumsy damper that you cannot even see. The COLONIAL WAY makes the escape of 
smoke into the room absolutely impossible, while the draft is under perfect control to tlic 
fraction of an inch by a simple thumb - screw' placed on the OUTSIDE of the fireplace 
The Colonial Head, Throat and 
Damper Solves the Problem 
It insures that your fireplace must be right in the vital part. 
Every mason and every architect knows that the head and 
throat of a fireplace must be properly designed and properly 
constructed if the fireplace is to be a success. But they also 
know that to get each curve and angle just right is the work 
of a master. 
The mason or bricklayer who builds a Colonial Head, Throat 
and Damper into the fireplace which he constructs knows that 
fireplace is right. 
C flv pc Piipl The P ecu lia r form of the Colonial Head in- 
rUCI sures t i ie greatest possible amount of heat 
radiation from the amount of fuel consumed. It makes the fire¬ 
place a practical heating appliance, instead of a clumsy make¬ 
shift. 
Saves Entire Price in Cost of Erection ^ a g s °°^ 
will spend more time in forming this portion of a fireplace than 
would pay the whole cost of the Colonial Head, Throat and 
Damper. And a poor mason cannot possibly make a mistake 
on this vital point if he installs a Colonial Head instead of at¬ 
tempting to do the work himself. 
If You Are Going to Build a New Home or 
Remodel Your Old One you will certainly want to 
install one or more fire¬ 
places. Write us. We have had over fifteen years of experience 
in fireplace construction and shall be glad to give you the benefit 
of the advice of and consultation with our experts without the

Gentlemen :—I have in¬ 
stalled your Colonial Head 
Throat and Damper witli 
screw attachment and find 
it does all you promised. I 
have had thirty years’ expe¬ 
rience in the building busi¬ 
ness and never have found 
anything to equal this damp¬ 
er for a fireplace. It works 
like a charm and regulates 
the draft perfectly. And the 
saving of labor is worth as 
much as I paid for it. I 
shall always recommend 
them to others and hope to 
use many of them myself. 
I am 
Very truly yours,

Stain Paint 
Stain brings out 
the grain, gives a 
soft, velvety ap¬ 
pearance. 
Paint hides the 
grain, spoils the 
natural surface of 
the wood.
