I'm recent years. said Uncle Bill, "the
country has been flooded, so to speak, with
/ cheap, ready mixed paints, which are apt
| to prove attractive to those unacquainted
/ with their real character. While all are
not deficient in merit, the vast majority Of
! them have no lasting property whatever.
/ If you want the real article, / would ad-
| wise you to use none but Harrison's Town
! and Country Paint, sold to consumers by
4 the manufacturers agent, Hugh Kelly,
l 1911 Pennsylvania Avenue northwest. Har-
rison's Town and Country Paint has ac-
quired a deservedly high prestige and
popularity, which have obtained for II
very large demand 1t is strictly first
| class. and unequaied by any for richness,
permanency of color, and durability, while
the character of materials used in its
manufacture guarantees superior quality.
| Harrison's Town and Country Paint is
a strictly pure linseed oil, ready mixed
paint, and is absolutely pure and the best
for inside and outside use on any surface,
I wood stone, or plaster. 1t has no equal
anywhere, as it wears better, looks hetter,
covers more surface, rubs out better under
the brushes, fades less and more uniform
ly and proves more economical TO the con-
sumer than any other paint. One gallon
will cover 400 to 500 square feet, two
coats on a good surface, and 300 to 400
square feet on a fair surface. Mr.. Reilly s
store is headquarters for all kinds OF win
