THE BEAR SAYS
In the Varnish Field, Pick Berries
In our window, we are showing Berry Brothers Varnishes, among them LIQUID
GRANITE—FOR FLOORS.
Don’t experiment with your floors. There’s as much difference between Varnishes
as there is between milk and water. Liquid Granite is time-tried and tested—it sets
you right the very first time. It gives your floor a sanitary finish—one that is easily
kept clean; it will not mar and washing with soap and water has no harmful effect.
•lust as Liquid Granite is best for floors, so it is best for all interior woodwork sub
jected to hard wear. Don’t experiment, select Liquid Granite, best for 58 years, made
by Berry Brothers, the world’s largest varnish makers.

RENSCOT
MINERAL WATER
FROM AUSTELL, GEORGIA
A NATURAL mineral spring water that comes pure, clear and
.cold from the depths of the crystalline rocks peculiar to the
Austell district—far removed from human habitation, and pro
tected from every possible source of surface contaminations, however
slight.
This magnificent NATURAL production contains that rarest and
most valuable of all salts—LITHIA—also Sodium Chloride and other
associate elements corresponding to the tissue-cell salts of the body,
and hence it is a health water of unusual and singular merit. No water
ever brought to public attention is so universally popular, and our
hundreds of testimonials among its 5,000 patrons in the most exacting
homes, stores, banks, offices, factories and soda fountains, where it is
used exclusively, and is appreciated and praised, proves incontroverti-
bly its inestimable value from a health point of view to all who wisely
drink it.
As a table water and family beverage and for general drinking
purposes BENSCOT is without a rival or approach, and when com
bined with the pure fruit juices of fresh lemons and limes at the soda
fountain a delicious drink is produced with a taste you can’t forget—
and wouldn’t if you could. “Lemon-Lime and Benscot” is clean, pure
and wholesome, tastes fine, refreshes one when fatigued, cools the
blood, hence the brain, and the saline tinge affords a smack of relish
that is totally lacking in all other waters. The best founts know the
art of making Lemon-Lime and Benscot just right—your favorite one
can serve you.
BEWARE
Call for this delightful liquid morsel by the full name—"LEMON-
LIME and BENSCOT"—and emphasize It. Benscot, like all other
really great successes, Is followed by the nostrum. Be sure that you
sidestep any concoction of distilled Chattahoochee and chemically
made llthia that can only prove disappointing. Such attempted Imi
tations when offered as the genuine NATURAL product are counter
feits In disguise, and should not be encouraged.
