When it, comes to using this enamei for the outside `of your house or veranda oor. We might as well put you straight on this now. FLO-GLAZE PAIN'l_` and FLOOR PAINT are intended for that purpose. - You may wonder then why we recommend FLO-GLAZE ENAMEL for boats. cgmoes, automobiles, buggies, and farm implements, but we do, and sell a lot of it for that purpose. In this conne ction,'howe`ver, you must consider that all of these articles, while in use, are continually changing direction.

What you are interested in is knoviing what it will do for you. That s fair enough. Just oall_,_up your nearest FLO-GLAZE dealer (there s lots of them through the coun- try) _and get him. to send over a quart or pint or half-pint. Try it out, keeping in mind'the fact that we guarantee it to please you. Just read over the directions on % the `label, start in, and seeifwe haven't "been rather modest in our claims. Oh yesl floors and. everything! It stands, to reason that if an enamel will stand the racket of floor wear it will stand up on any other surface. The gloss of FLO-GLAZE ENAMEL won texactly put your minors out of business,-but it has a gloss that gives the clearest reflection of anything in the enamel line, And it holdsthat. gloss. FLO-GLAZE ENAMEL throws in a lot of other uses just for good measure.
