Make Any Change.

There is just one company,
the Colonial Works, Of Brook
Ign, N. Y, which will not
have TO make the slightest
improvement in their product
or give the slightest addi-
tional information on their
labels. For they are now
turning out, and have been
doing so ever since they start
ed making THE COLO
NAL PAINTS many years
ago, an absolutely pure paint.
And they have been certify
ing to this fact by printing on
every can the exact analysis
of the paint made by the state
chemist or some other chem
list of equal standing. This
analysis in every case abso-
lutely proves the Colonial
Paint to be 100 per cent.
pure. And the Colonial
Works are the only company
that have been doing this.
