Bogus White Lead and
adulterated paints would
have no sale did they not
afford dealers a larger
profit than
Strictly
Pure White Lead
The man who best guards
his own interests is never per
suaded to buy paint that is
said to be "just as good , " or
"better , " than Strictly Pure
White Lead. The following
brands are standard , manufac
tured by the "Old Dutch"
process , and always strictly
pure :
"SOUTHERN"
"RED SEAL"
"COLLIER"
Pure White Lead
Tinting Colors.
The National Lead Co. man
ufacture a line of colors to
color strictly pure White Lead
any shade wanted. They are
put up in small packages ; one
pound being sufficient to tint
twenty-five pounds of Lead. By
using these colors and strictly
pure White Lead you know
that you have pure paint , which
you can not know when buying
"mixed ' or "prepared"paints
far ilc by the best dealers in | aims.
If you are going to paint , it will p&y you ta
mend to us lor a book uomainme intoi-rnalioa
that may aave you many a dollar it will
only cost you a poatal card to do so.

which tells you in good plain figures , the price which is either
six dollars and fifty cents or ten dollars and fifty cents. These
suits were placed in the window to attract your attention to

are marked
The ones in the very front row are "beauts ' Thev're made ot
good solid all wool cassimere in a handsome dark brown
with just enough color in the broken plaid to make the pattern
attractive. The lining is of double warp Italian. These suitt
are in round corner sacks only. The ' 'square cut" sacks in the
second row are mighty tony. They arc made of substantial
fancy black cheviot in an invisible plaid. The coats are cut
double-breasted with square corners and in the proper length
for this season. The lining is of soft ser e and the price is
six dollars and fifty ce-ts. ! The third and fourth rows are
marked
The third row are sacks round corner sacks and such
sacks ! made o f elegant dark gray all wool cassimere lined
right up to.the queen's taste with very fine Farmer satin , triple
stitched finely tailored. The frocks in the back row are of
thuc "never wear out" sort of goods- good old honesty cassi

dollars and sixteen dollars usually buys. Usually you get
better goods than you expect at our specials it's s cTthis time.
