Culver River Paint

Are you thinking of painting your house this
spring? Let us have little talk about paint. You
hear people say paint does not stand like it did
years ago--paint is not good. This is not fact.
Some paint is made better now than the very best
paint of years ago. The trouble with the average
paint now used is that you are either using the
cheap grade of mixed paint, or adding to much
cheap material in paint called "dope," or you
using only pure lead and Oil. Any of the above
combinations will not make you a satisfactory
paint For good paint you must hare the very best
of material, thoroughly mixed, by machinery.

Reasons Why a Good Grade
Mixed Paint Better Than
Pure Lead or Oil.

Fhst:--It takes more than merely white lead and
oil to make good paint. It takes the best of white
lead the best of oxide of zinc asbesne silica, good
colors, the best of boiled OIL tmpentine and japan
dryer.
Second:--No :painter can mix his paint viii,
paddle as thoroughly as can be done by machinery
Ihird:--When you buy lead and oil and other ma
terials for paint, you do not know that they are
absolutely pure--neither does your dealer. An ma
tenaI used in the manufacture of Our Culver River
paint is Inspected by first-class chemist.
FourthWe will guarantee any Job of painting
where Culver River paint is used exclusively for two
years if painted twocoat four years painted three
coat. You get no guarantee on lead and OIL and we
give you full guarantee on Culver River paiat that
's it Culver River Paint does not wear as we claim
it to wear, will furnish full material for reoainng
house, free of charge.
You know guarantee is good. There is no
secret as to what material is used in Quiver River
paint. We publish the formula below. IF you had
as good material and knew how to mix it and had
the machinery to mix WITH you could make as good
paint as CULVER River. The point is use the best
material; our manufacturers know how to mix it;
all material is inspected by chemist, then ground
together by the machinery.
Quiver River paint is manufactured specially
for the Henderson s. Baird Hardware Co., to supply
demand for a high-class paint at reasonable
price. We will forfeit $500 for every gallon of
Quiver River paint that will not analyze as per for
mula published below:
SIS per cent lead, 80 per cent oxide Of
zinc, y per cent. asbestine u per
cent. silica.
You run no risk in buying this paint--Me stand
behind it with guarantee. Remember labor
costs about much material BY using good
material you get from three to four times the wear.
Then without question: it is economy the best
material, even on the cheapest cabin.

Administration.
From one high in the councils OF
the republican party, an intimate
friend of both President Taft and
Colonel TheodOreA Roosevelt, it was
learned. according to a New York
dispatch, that the report about the
presidents intention to get rid Of his
old advisers, Aldrich, Hale and Can
non, and practically to dismiss Sec
rotary Ballinger. was true.
The news is important" said TINS
man, but 1t is not as surprising to
me as to the public. I have been ex,
pecting It,"
That President Taft had decided
finally to get rid of his old stand,
bys was tidings, so sensational that
the majority of the politicians who
could be found to discuss the matter
were almost too surprised to talk
about It at all. 1t was generally
agreed that 1t was one of the most
momentous moves in the history on
tho party.
The effect, It was agreed. would be
far-reaching. While there was no
doubt that Aldrich, Hale. Cannon and
Ballinger, and their friends, would
not give up without a struggle, such
action on the part Of the president
would tend to bring the two wings oi
the party. now rapidly growing apart
into harmonious relations.
Il would mean. further, that the
western republicans. who had been
refusing to give the president any.
thing but a hslf-hearted Endorsement
would take up the cudgels for him as
avidly as they had opposed him. And
II would mean, IN all probability. his
denomination with little opposition IN
1912, as II had been understood by
those close to Colonel Roosevelt that
he would not want the nomination for
himself. unless practically forced to
take II.
In addition to all this, President
Taft's overthrowing Of the Old leaders
would mean a triumph for the in.
surgents and most Of the principles
for which they had stood.
