BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of the Age Is Toward
Mural Decorations.

Probably at no time in the worlds history
has as much attention been paid to the in
terror decoration of homes as at present.
No home, no matter how humble, is without
it's >handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surroundings more
cheerful. The taste of the American people
has kept pace with the age, and almost
every day brings forth something new
in the way of picture, a draping, a
piece of furniture or. other form of mural
decoration. One of the latest of these has
been given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in a series OF four handsome
porcelain game plaques. Not for years has
anything as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American Wild Ducks, American Pleas
ant, American Quail and English Snipe.
They are handsome paintings and are es-
room walls, though their richness and beau.
ty entitled them to a place in the parlor of
any home. These original plaques have been
purchased at a cost of $4,000 by j. G. Hub
niger Bros. CO., manufacturers of the cele-
brated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable
sors of these handsome works of art they
have had them reproduced by a special
process, in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape Of plaque and trimmed with heavy

in circumference and contain no reading
matter or advertisement whatever.
Until September LIST Messrs. j. G. Hubing.
er Bros. Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every pur.
chaser of three ten-cent packages of Elastic
Starch, flat-iron brand manufactured by j.
c. Hubinger Bros. CO., is entitled to receive
one of these handsome plaques free from
their grocer. Old and new customers alike
are entitled to the benefits of this offer.
These plaques will not be sent through the
mail, the only way to obtain them being
from your grocer. Every grocer store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. 1t is the
oldest and best laundry starch on the mar.
ket and is the most perfect cold process
starch ever invented. 1t is the only starch
made by men who thoroughly understand
the laundry business, and the only starch
that will not injure the finest fabric. 1t has
beten the standard for quarter OF a century
and as an evidence of how good it is twenty
two million packages were sold last year.
Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and
tell you about Elastic Starch Accept no
substitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time only and should be
taken advantage of without delay.
