WHITE
LEAD
IS STRICTLY PURE.

The Carter White Lead Company
stands ready at any and all times by
practical tests to prove that the Carter
Lead will cover one-fourth more sur.
face, and do it better, than any brand OF
lead manufactured by what is known as
the old Dutch Process. and also to prove
its superiority in body whiteness and
durability.
We invite practical painters to make
independent tests by carefully measuring
surface and weighing the leods to be
tested and then comparing results
which will in every instance prove that
Carter Lead will cover one
fourth more surface
The superiority of Carter Lead is due
TO improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which a perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
a keg of Carter Lead you get keg OF
Lead that is perfectly corroded.
A key of Carter White Lead is
All Paint.
The new plant recently put in opera.
ton in Chicago is the largest in the
world and the combined output of the
Chicago and Omaha factories places the
Carter Company in a position to fill all
orders promptly.
There is more Carter White Lead
sold than any other brand manu-
featured i'm the United States.

Whippots Arc Speedy.

A whippet is nothing more nor less
than diminutive greyhound, and, as a
bench dog, is judged on identically the
same points. He is the successor of the
English terrier, who was formerly used
for rabbit coursing. This species of
sport got into disrepute through gam
bling scandals and was finally done
away with in England largely through
the efforts of the Society For the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. The
terriers frequently worried the rabbits
in manner that made the pastime very
brutal.
Straight out and out races were then
instituted, but very soon the desire came
for more speedy dog than<fhe terrier.
The regular greyhound was too costly
and too big. Some one unknown to fame
crossed the English greyhound with the
toy or the Italian greyhound, and the
result has been the whippet.
The whippet of today is distinct
breed. In color, and, in fact, every
thing but size, he closely resembles thr
English greyhound. He has the spec
and good deal of the stamina of the
greyhound proper and much of the grace
of the Italian greyhound. Exchange.
