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 8-gal. and 5-gal. bailed buckets, also barrels; in cans of ⅛, ¼, ½, 1-gal. and 2-gal. each.

Ditson & Co’s Sunday-School Music

ranks with the very best, and no Sunday-school management should adopt a new Singing Book without carefully examining one of their “tried and true” =Sunday-School Song Books=.

=Voices of Praise= (40 cts., $4.20 per doz.) Rev. C. L. Hutchins. Music and poetry dignified and classical, but not dull; in fact, bright and enthusiastic. Very large collection for the money.

=Singing on the Way= (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) by Mrs. Jewett, ably assisted by Dr. Holbrook, whose noble compositions are known and loved in all the churches. This, like the book above mentioned, does excellently well for a Vestry Singing Book for prayer and praise meetings.

=Songs of Promise= (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) J. H. Tenney and Rev. E. A. Hoffman—the first highly gifted, musically, and the second the author of many hymns of refined and beautiful quality. One of the newest books.

=Song Worship= (35 cts., $3.60 per doz.) L. O. Emerson and W. F. Sherwin, both celebrated compilers, composers and leaders, and the latter well-known as having had charge of the music at many Chautauqua meetings.

For other good books, please send for lists and catalogues.

For a lovely little book for the young children of a Sunday-school, look no further than FRESH FLOWERS (25 cts., $2.40 per doz.), Emma Pitt. Sweet Hymns, Sweet Music, Pretty Pictures.
