Johns M'f'g Co. ^4 THE rapid advancement that has been made witfjin the past few years in archi- tecture, and tf-je varied styles qow in vogue, have made tfje question of house paiqting of greatest irqportaqce. Those who have qot given special study to the subject are little aware of tqe necessity, in paiqting' tqeir dwellings, of selecting colors in harmoqy with both surroundings aqd design. We preseqt herein as many styles of architecture as a limited space will permit. While our designs give as close a representation of the colors iqdicated as is possible, our chief airq has been to reproduce the effect, rather than the exact shades, of the colors suggested. These may serve as a hint for some, but most houses will require special treatmeqt, and in this we are always pleased to be of assistance if desired. H. W. JOHNS MANUFACTURING CO.

QHINGLED houses should in most Cases be treated with shingle stains. We fyave selected for this design a body color of our Shingle Stain, No. 148, with roof of No. 123.

Ours are tf]e only prepared or liquid paints which, iq addition to the usual grinding and mixing, are ground whjle in the liquid state. This second grinding brings the oil and pigments into more intimate combina- tion, and gives a uniformity of consistency not to be obtained by rqere rqixings. Upoq request, we will illustrate any of the combinations showq or indicated herein with actual samples of our paints, or will specially treat any buildings of which a full descriptioq, photograph, or plans can be submitted to us, and we will be pleased to forward by mail, on application, samples of 58 newest shades and colors with instructions for using, price iist, etc. Tr\e following are a few of the Hotels, Public E The Dakota Apartment House, . . .
