Liquid Cottage Colors.

The best MIXED PAINTS manufactured. Guaranteed to give perfect
satisfaction if properly applied. They are heavy bodied, and for work
that does not require an extra heavy coat, they can be thinned (with
our Old Fashioned Kettle-boiled Linseed Oil) and still cover better
than most of the mixed paints sold in the market, many of which have
so little stock in them that they will not give a good solid coat.

Some manufacturers of mixed paints direct NOT to rub out the paint,
but to FLOW it on; the reason being that if such stuff were rubbed out
there would be but little left to cover, would be transparent. Our
Cottage Colors have great strength or body, and, like any good paint,
should be worked out well under the brush. The covering property of
this paint is so excellent as to allow this to be done.

Put up for shipment as follows: In 3-gal. and 5-gal. bailed buckets,
also barrels; in cans of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1-gal. and 2-gal. each.
