The gentlemen constituting the John
ston firm believed, as did thousands of
their customers in the paint business,
that with the discovery of "Dull-Kote,"
the very highest of paint perfection had
been attained, but another of their pro-
ducts-"NuwaT-only recently placed
upon the market seems fair to equal it
in popularity. The demand for this paint
has been enormous, no other locally
made paint having nearly approach
ed its sales within the period it has
been upon the market. "Dull-kote"
and "Nuwap have a tremendous retail
sale as well as wholesale. Not the least
favorable features of these products is
the advertising they give the city of Gin
cinnati. Every one of the thousands OF
orders shipped to other points, bears the
name of Cincinnati prominently display
ed as the place of its manufacture, and
by reason of the magnitude of these ship
ments, the benefits reaped by the city
from a commercial point of view may
be easily understood. Every member of
the firm is an expert in the paint busi-
ness and every member is also an adept
in his particular branch of the business.
Mr.. Johnston, the president, is young
man, having been born in Moscow, Ohio
in 1874. He has been in Cincinnati for
twenty-one years. A strict adherence to
fair dealing; giving the smallest, as well
as the largest patron, wholesale or re-
tail, the full value in every purchase, and
determination to merit patronage
through the medium of selling only mer
itorious goods, are the business princi-
pies that have made the X. +. Johnston
Paint Company the best known manu-
facturers of paints in the United States.

WHY BONUSES ARE FAVORED.

Clevcland-"The bonus system is just
a cunning way of cndcavorng to salts
fy employees for the present moment
without putting the employer in an en-
barrassng position in the future" says
Editor Brandt of the Lather, official
journal of the Wood, Wire and Metal
LathcrS' International union.
''lhc talk of swollen profits will soon
die out and the bonuses will die with the
talk. If employees wages were raised it
would not be quite so easy TO reduce
those wages without more or less trouble,
but by giving the bonus, when the bonus
is paid there is no future obligation, and
we venture the prediction we will not
hear so much about bonuses i'll the
future Everybody in this country is so
familiar with the unusual volume of bus
mess during the past couple of years and
with the extraordinary earnings of most
of our large industries, that for the pres
cnt they can hardly avoid giving some
consideration to the employees, but by
giving that consideration in the shape OF
bonus they are attaching no strings to
their generosity

WHY NOT ADVISE UNIONISM?

Wilmington, Del-The Morning News
says that some restaurants in this State
work their women employees from ~ to
1Os hours week, and that the strong
arm of the law" should stop this prac
tice. The editor says labor should not
be exploited in this fashion," and calls
on lawmakers to correct the evil.
No mention is made of trade unionsm
which has proven, times without num-
Der, that as a corrective force a 100 per
cent organization OF women workers is
swift, certain and permanent.

The K. +. Johnston Paint Company,
located at 22s Main Street, has come to
be one of Cincinnati's leading business
enterprises. SO extensive has this firms
work become that it long ago ceased to
be strictly a local enterprise, but the
fame of its output, has brought it coun-
try-wide reputation, and its patrons num-
Der individuals and paint houses through

gentlemen, all residents of and well
known in Cincinnati, organized the COM
pany in 1906, and have ever since engag
ed in the manufacture of various brands
of paint. They also enjoy an extensive
wholesale and retail business. Mr.. r.
+. Johnston the president, was with the
Indian Painting Company in Cincinnati
for a period of fifteen years. In that
connection, he acquired an innate know
ledge of all the branches of paint-mak-
ing, and the requirement of such know
ledge, in combination with his natural
aptitude for executive work, is largely
responsible for the vast strides forward
made by the company
Everybody who reads has heard Of
"Dull-Kotc," an interior decorative and
finishing paint that is known wherever
the name of Cincinnati is known 1t was
the Johnston Paint Company which
made and introduced this paint some
years ago, and the magnitude of its sales
proves more conclusively than could
ought else, that it possesses rare merit.
In this country, in Canada, and in Mex
ico its popularity was instantaneous, and
has ever increased

"CAN'T-STRIKE" LAW IGNORED
BY PRINTERS.

Denver.-Typographcal union No. 40
has instructed its wage scale committee
not to notify the State industrial COM
mission of proposed wage changes, but
to follow the same course of direct deal
ing with printing employers as in the
past.
Under the law the union must give the
commission at least 80 days notice of
contemplated changes in working con-
dtions and employees are subject to
fine of not more than 500 if they violate
this act.
Organized labor has attempted to have
this law repealed but the State senate has
defeated the plan on the ground that it
was demanded only by agitators "who
must keep in the limelight or their pay
will stop" The action of Denver print
ers is the best answer to men blind to al,
concepts of liberty and who have failed
to realize the determination of Colo
RADIOS workers not to be tied to thei,
tasks by public officials.
The Denver Typographical union was
organized before the Civil war and there
has not been a strike of printers in this
city for over 80 years. The printers hope
there will be no strike because of pres
ent differences with employers, but they
insist on their rights as free men, with
out dictation or interference of public
officials who would tell them when they
can and when they can not leave their
employment.
