No use his trying-Hammar is put
together to stick when it's once APP
piled. 1t was bad luck for him to 20
under that ladder, anyway-but moth
ing to the bad luck a paint dealer or
painter must undergo with ordinary
paints. Hammar paint is not ordinary.
1t is not ready mixed paint. 1t is a
product of its own class and character
entirely. Long use and experimenting
has proved beyond possible doubt that
combination of zinc with lead makes
the finest paint on earth. Many ready
mixed paints have that virtue, but they
are too "finished-the oil is in them.
That should not be put in until the
pery day the paint is going to be ap-
piled. Every painter will tell you so
and the only way to get the life of the
oil from start to tinish-is to put it
into the paint yourself when you are
ready to spread it. If you want the
finest, freshest, strongest, iarthest-
spreading and longest-sticking paint
on earth, you have to get Hammar
Paint-the paint that stops at the
right point-with the pigments and
driers scientifically ground by machin-
cry, and the oil left for you to put in.
Gallon of paint to gallon of oil, no
more, no less-that's the whole story of
paint satisfaction.
and look well for five years; your
money back if it don't. Drop in some
day and let me show you how you can
save 25% on the next bill Of paint
you buy,

Time was when everybody walked
and thought it no disgrace. For then
walking was only a degree slower
than the quickest means of locomo.
ton, and by that token respectable.
But who thinks of walking now? If
you go into ashoeshop where fifty
styles Of fine footgear are offered
you won't find a shoe YOU could walk
a mile in without being crippled,
and though you call for the best
grade Of stockings they are worn
through the first time you put
them on if you so afoot. Nobody who
is anybody is expected to walk any
more. The trolleys and the devil
wagons have made walking intolera-
bly, slow, and the airships, when
they come will doubtless abolish ii
for good and all And that is pro.
gress. The voice which clamors fol
stockings that will wear or shoes
that are easy is voice out Of the
past, the echo of dead traditions. =
