Some Prominent Chioagoans Express Opinions. In these enlightened times every person who pretends to keep in touch with the progress of the world must ' read a first-class daily metropolitan newspaper. They whoi would select the best should be guided by the opin ions of prominent newspaper-men who know. Read the following: " There is no question as to the position occupied by The Chicago Tribune. Its en­ terprise has been too often demonstrated, As a local and American news-gathering in­ stitution it has no superior and few equals. In the matter of foreign cables, no other paper west of New York can be compared to it. These are the things, of course, that go to make a complete and great news­ paper. CARTER H. HARRISON."

You know there is much more painting done now-a-days than of old, but did you know there is a far better way to do it? Paint­ ing is no exception to other things. The art has not stood still. You can still buy some white lead (are you a judge of it?) and some oil (are you Q- judge of that?) and find a neighborly painter and have some paint made; but as sure as you aft I alive there is a bet­ ter way. Are you awake to tbe fact that you can get a paint that is made for the particular work you want done, of the best materials combined in tile best proportions, mixed in the best way; and that will do more than any other paint will do? If this is not true, then The Sherwin-Williams Paint factory with its tons of daily output and its thirty years of wonderful growth, is a pure miracle.
