A coat or two of good paint, properly applied, will make ;$»y house appear as clean and fresh as though it were newly built. The greatest care, however, should be exercised in the choice of a paint, as a poor article is worse v than valueless. The item of labor is by far tho greatest part of tho expense in painting a house, therefore, it is highly important to save the cost of labor by buying only paint which will prove the best and the most durable. In Order to be sure that you get the best, see to it that every can you buy has on it, signed by the manufacturers, a guarantee that the paint is absolutely pure and free from every adulteration. Crown Cottage Colore are guar- intet'd to be composed of Strictly i*ure white lead, Oxide of Zinc Tinting colors, Pure Linseed Oil, and entirely free from adulteration. We further guarantee that Crown Cot­ tage Colors will go farther, wear longer and look better than any brand of mixed paint on the market. Furthermore we #ill state that should you find that rown Cottage Colors, When properly applied, will not give entire satisfaction, we will supply you free of charge with sufficient material to do ite entire work over again.
