MI. Major, the famous cement man of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
Tine multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than OF her cements for which
similar claims are made, but great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expansive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
So. Is pound, and another costs 1856 a
gallon, while large share of the go call
ed cements AMI liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved IN water or citric
acid, and, i'll some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition Of
cheap and useless materials
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents a bottle. and when
dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true In
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr. Majors ad.

$1,000 month throughout the country
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not &C
cept any off band advice from a druggist.

pair your rubber boots and family shoes
