The subscription will be liberal no doubt. Cashier Rhoides A Benedict.

KANSAS BIG PAINT SHIPMENT COMING In a few days we will receive the largest shipment of paint ever brought into this country.

A full car load of grand old Lincoln Paint will reach us this week. Our investigation and analysis of all the various paints have shown us that there is nothing made that compares with honest old Lincoln Paint When analyzed at the University of Kansas it was found to consist wholly of pure white lead, zinc and linseed oil. These ingredients are ground together through stone burs and when properly spread on a building will last for years. Prime your building lightly over with one coat of soft white lead putting two coats of Lincoln Paint on top of this and you have the most beautiful job possible to obtain and one that we guarantee will be bright and handsome for years.
