Terms- The economical decoration of your home is largely a matter of knowing the right finishes to use. For the exterior of your home there is no better paint than Sherwin-XVilliams Paint (Prepared) SWP. It is made of the purest of materials, combined in correct scientific proportions with the aid of special machinery. The result is a far spreading, long wearing paint in liquid form, all ready to apply. For floors, the easiest finish to apply is S-W Inside Floor Paint, and this gives particularly good results even on ol J worn or discolored floors. On a good hard'.vood floor the best finish is S-W Mar-not, a hard-drying waterproof floor varnish. For the walls of your home, while water paints, such as S-W Decotint, give pleasing effects, they have not the durability which means true economy, Sherwin- Williams Flat-tone is unquestionably the best paint for walls. It is an oil paint that dries with a soft, flat, velvety finish. It ia very durable anJ can be washed with soap and water. S-W Flat-tone comes in twenty-four beautiful colors, the selection of expert decorators. For the varnishing of interior work such as wainscotting, doors, furniture, etc., we recommend S-W Excello Varnish, or S-W Kopal, an old fashioned, general purpose varnish, which can be used inside and outside and is just the thing for varnished woodwork in kitchens, bathrooms, or for front doors, porch ceilings, etc. For floors use S-W Mar-not, a special waterproof floor varnish, will not turn white when water is spilled on it, nor does it show scratches and heel marks readily. We can take care cf your every paint and varnish nce,d, Prop jjj and discuss your paint and varnish problems with us. FRANK W.
