sible what 
you have always 
wanted and never could get—an air-tight 
and easy-sliding window. The 
Higgin All »Metal 
Weather Strip 
fits into the sash —not against it. The wedge-like 
metal projection “A” dovetails into the metal-lined 
opening “B” all around the sash. No matter how 
the window frame and sash may change from warp¬ 
ing or shrinking, the weather strip must remain 
air-tight and dust-proof. Can’t wear through like 
others because the edge of “A” does not touch the 
bottom of “B.” 
zM r W1 Think of a porch floor of unusual 
attractiveness, in beautiful har- 
JglfcSj monizingor contrasting colors; 
one that, once laid, lasts forever; 
one that will stand exposure ; one with no 
cracks or crevices; one that never needs 
painting and one that can always be kept 
absolutely clean. 
Read our booklet, “Tiles on the Porch 
Floor.’’ It tells you all about such a porch 
and how little it costs. It is free, as are also 
these others: 
“Tiles for Fireplaces” 
“Tiles for the Kitchen and Laundry” 
“ Tile for the Bathroom”

Window never sticks because “A” and “B” are 
different metals—“A 1 ’ zinc, “B” bronze. No fric¬ 
tion as between pieces of the same metal. Then 
the sash slides against the rounded metal part ‘ ‘X” 
■—not in a tight angle of wood. 
Where the sashes meet, the piece of spring 
bronze “C” makes their contact air-tight.

Exhaustive tests conducted during- many years show this 
varnish to be the most durable and elastic Floor Varnish 
on the market. It is impervious to water and does not 
mar nor scratch white. It is light in color, thus pre¬ 
serving the natural beauty of the grain. It can be 
used with equally good results over painted or 
grained surfaces. It dries hard in from 15 to 24 
hours, and can be rubbed and polished or left 
in the gloss. 
For sale by paint dealers everywhere. If not at 
yours, we will send by prepaid express, upon I 
receipt of price. Full descriptive price list on 1 
application.
