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

The Tendency of the Age Is Toward
Mural Decorations.
Probably at no time in the worlds his
tory has as much attention been paid to
the interior decoration Of homes as Mt
present. No home, no matter how hum
bic, is without its handiwork that helps
to beautify the apartments and make
the surroundings more cheerful. The taste
OF the American people has kept pace
will the age, and almost every day brings
forth something new in the way Of a pic
ture, Il 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 any
thing as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American wild ducks, American
pheasant, American quail and English
snipe. They are handsome paintings and
are especially designed for hanging on din
ing room walls, though their richness and
beauty entities them to a place in the
parlor OF any home. These original
plaques have been purchased at n cost Of
$4,000 by j. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., man.
ufacturCrs of the celebrated Elastic
Starch, and in order to enable their num-
erous customers to become posscssors OF
these handsome works Of art they have
had them reproduced by a special process,
in all the rich colQrs and beauty of the
original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape Of n plaque and trimmed with n
heavy band Of gold. They measure forty
inches in circumference and contain no
reading matter or advertisement what
ever.
Until Sept. | Messrs. ]. G. IIubinger
Bros. Co, propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every
purchaser of three ten-ccnt packages of
Elastic Starch, fatiron brand, manufac-
tured by j. G. Hubinger Bros. Co., is en-
titled 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 gro
Ger. Every grocery store in the country
has Elastic Starch for sale. IT is the old
est 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 un-
derstand the laundry business, and the
only starch that will not injure the finest
fabric. 1t has been the standard for a
quarter of a century and as an evidence
of how good it is twenty-five million pack
ages 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 ad.
vantage OF without delay.
