Rubber Cement Floor Paint FLOOR PAINT which needs no introduction, but one that has stood the test for years and has made many staunch friends among those who have used it. The severe uses to which floor paints are often subjected are very try ing at times, but we do not hesitate to say that our Rubber Floor Paint has more than made good under such circumstances, and that we can recornmend it in all cases where a durable floor paint is desired. Under no circumstances should floor paint be used on outside porches, or in any place where it will come in con tact with the weather, as it is intended for inside use only. HIS WINTER many a patriotic man and woman made last year’s coat do service for another season because it is America’s duty and privilege during the war to save and economize in every practical way. Each must economize to the utmost in order to have savings with which to sub scribe to the Liberty War Loans; and also to help distress in all parts of the world. But in these days of stupendous property destruction it is a crime not to conserve all of the property it is possible to save. Give your property a new fall coat of paint if the old paint coating is broken. You cannot save your property in any other way, and the money cost is not great. Pacific Rubber Paint wears longer, looks better and costs less. Made in the west for west ern climate conditions by W. P. Fuller & Company.
