Buy the Best Paint
The value of the paint
can only be judged by
its results and cost. If vou
can buy a paint that will
cover more surface, is
easiest to apply and re-
tains a good appearance

est Our, paint spreads
farther because its mate-
rials are of high quality
and are perfectly mixed.
Auto Paint
With our auto paint
your car can be made
bright as new. You'll
beam with delight as
each brushful of this free
flowing, self leveling
paint quickly transforms
the appearance of your
car.
Aiito Top Dressing
A dingy top spoils the
appearance of a car just
as a shabby hat spoils the
appearance of a man. A

Dressing will preserve
the fabric and this dress-
ing does not crack, chip
or soften.
Paint Brushes
When you buy a paint
brush, buy a good one.
The handle and ferrule
in a cheap brush may
look the same as in a
good brush. The big dif-
ference is in the bristles.
The quality of a brush is
in its bristles.
Neglect is Costly
Save the repair bills
that always pile up when
painting is put off, Inv
prove the appearance of
your home. This is the
ideal time of year to have
exterior painting done.

rior and exterior use.4

24. of this city.
Two years ago. while engaged in
hi* work in the shops of the Santa
Fe here. Smith was struck on the
head with a hammer in the planing
mill. It was an unavoidable accident.
It cost him his hearing. He went to
specialists in many places, but they
brought him no relief.
Wednesday, while engaged in haui-
ing lumber for a concern here, he
jumped from the track and when he
struck the ground his hearing was re
stored.
“U seems natural now,” he said,
‘that I can hear what is going on
around me. It is a miserable feeling
to be unable to hear your friends
talk.”
