PURE LIQUID PAINTS,
OR
HOUSE PAINTERS COLORS

We beg to invite the special attention
of Dealers and Consumers to these
PAINTS. They are manufactured from
the very BEST AND CHOICEST PIG
MENTS, and mixed or thinned with only
STRICTLY PURE Linseed Oil and Tur-
pentine, and they cannot be excelled in
covering capacity, durability, fneness and
beauty Of finish. They will neither
chalk, flake, or peel off, a nd work with
perfect freedom under the brush. They
weigh from Is to 16 lbs per gallon, which,
of itself, POSITIVELY demonstrates their
purity and superiority.
Tho various compounds known in IT, I"
market as Chemical Paints, contain only
sabour SO per cent. of Paint; tho balance
is water, introduced into the same by the
use of an alkali, to combine it. The
last mentioned Paints, so-called, only
weigh from 8 to 10 lbs per gallon, which
we think certainly proves their lack of
capacity or body. When water is mix
ed with Paint, It not only destroys it's
body, but, to a very great extent, its adj
hesiveuess, which all practical men know
is of the highest Importance to preserve,
II order to make durable Paint.
We think, from the statement we have
made, that Luyers cannot fail to at ONCE
perceive that their interest will be best
promoted by buying our Liquid Paints
ii. g. Pure faints), in preference to the
so-called Paints referred to.

p@ADo the city papers say any
thing in regard to your parish ?
Nothing. 10 they contain notices
of your schools, meetings, churches
improvements, and hundreds OF
other local matters of interest
which your home paper publishes
without pay? Not an item. Do
they ever say word calculated to
draw attention to your parish and
aid in its progress and enterprise ?
Not a line. And there are men who
take such contracted views of this
matter that, unless they are getting
as many square inches Of reading
matter in their own as they do III
city paper, they. think they are not
getting the worth of their money.
It reminds US of man who took

the pair, much smaller, that fitted
