How to Paint Your
House Cheap
And Have it Look Better, Stay Bright
er and Wear Longer Than Any
Other Paint Made
TRY 1T FREE OF COST

Mr.. A. L. Rice, a prominent manu-
facturer of Adams, N. Y, has solved
the paint problem for us all by new
process he has perfected that reduces
the cost of painting one-half This
process makes an oil paint which will
wear twice as long as any other paint
made, and stay fresh and bright for
many years after the ordinary mixed
paint has faded and peeled. 1t spreads
easier, goes farther, and is backed up
by guarantee to wear for eight years.
The genuine superiority of Double
wear Paint can best be appreciated
after a trial, and Mr.. Rice has so much
confidence in the merit of his product
that he will send liberal sample, to-
gether with color card, free to any
person intending to paint.
