SAVE YOUR MONEY
There is no excuse for anyone to throw away money at any time or
for any cause. This is just as true in Seward as in tiny other town.
It is now that time of year when all good housekeepers prepare to
paint and paper their houses. This is a necessity not only for appear
ance but for cleanline s and health.
In buying your paints there are two kinds you may buy; one a cheap,
dirt paint badly mixed and imperfectly ground in poor oil. Such paint
goes on in blotches and soon begins to crack and scale olT leaving the
wood surface of your house muddy and shabby looking.
The other kind of paint is made of the best of pigments, thoroughly
ground in the best linseed oil. Such paint goes on smoothly and owing
to it* perfect proportions when spread out on a surface undergoes a
chemical change and forms a flexible, durable, preserving coat to wood.
Now when you buy the poor kind of paint you are only throwing
your money away, but when you buy the other kind, such for instance
as that put up by the well known WitiTnKU-(.'obukn Co., you are then
saving your money. For you not only get the value of your money in
paint and oil hut you are putting a coat on your house that will save
the wood from decay, add an hundredfold to its appearance and *ave
doctor hills.
Now, if you want to save money, buy the WniTTIER-COBURN Co.
paints and oils. They are for sale at Brown & Hawkins in any quantity
or any color you may desire.
While you are saving money by purchasing your paints and oils at
Brown iV Hawkins’ why not do the same by also buying your wallpaper
there. They have the most complete assortment of up-to-date wallpaper
in Seward. Save your money by trading with Brown & Hawkins.
