WHAT ALABASTINE IS.

Alabastine is the original and only dur
able wall coating on the market. 1t Is
entirely different from all kalsomine prep
arations. Alabastine is made ready for
use in white or fourteen beautiful tints
by the addition of cold water. 1t is put
properly labeled, with full directions on
every package. 1t takes the place of seal
ing kalsomines, wall paper and paint for

CHURCHES AND sCHooLHoUsEs.

The interior walls of churches, school,
houses and all public halls should never
be coated with anything but the durable
and pure Alabastine. SO evident has this
fact become, that hundreds of tons are
used annually for this work. The genu-
inc Alabastine does not rub or scale of.
1t is cleanly during the long period of its
usefulness. Every owner of building
should use it. Ask your paint dealer or
druggist for card of tints. and write for
