Letter to Mr. H. A. H. Gibson,

Dear Sir: Looks suspicious-any offer
of "something for nothing" does, unless
made by an eminently rcsponsihle house,
and willi proper explanations. Wo niter
you "Free Paint" for your house, because
it. helps us to establish an agency at your
place,
Any mercantile agency or bank will
tell you that our rating is "big," and
our credit "highest,"
If you or any other house-owner in
tend painting this spring, send UH dimen
sions of house, and numbor of coats of
paint required, and we will send some
tasty color condonations, and advise as
to the number of gallons we'll ship you
"for nothing."
11 is conceded by all makers, tb it we
are the largest manufactur?is ot Pre
pared Paint In tho United States; de
servedly so, as ?i, A" M. is tho only Pure
Paint that stands the addition of much
linseed oil-covers hotter, lasts longer,
and costs less than puro white lead.
(Rad to hoar from you.
