Regular Paradux-Rex Canvas Roofing

Manufactured by the Flintkote Company, 88 Pearl St., Boston, Mass.

A permanent waterproof canvas covering for sleeping porch floors,
balcony floors, bay window roofs and decks of all kinds.

PARADUX consists of a strong, clean canvas sheet backed by a
heavy layer of saturated and coated felt (same material as Rex
Flintkote Roofing) securely stuck to canvas with pressure so satuation [saturation]
will not penetrate canvas and affect paint. As soon as laid Paradux
must be painted with two coats good quality lead and oil paint. A
coat of lead and oil paint every three years will make Paradux
last indefinitely.

PARADUX has given satisfaction for over fifteen years. Stocks
carried in all jobbing centers of Texas.

Secret of Failure

I’m going to set the river on fire—tomorrow.

I’ve made up my mind to turn over a new leaf and get busy
and DO things—tomorrow.

I’ve fooled around all day, and yesterday, too, and the day before,
but things are going to hum—tomorrow.

‘lve had an idea for sometime that This or That would be a
crackin’ good scheme, and I’m going to try it out—tomorrow.

I’ve been losing business or else standing still for I’ll be durned
if I know for how long—but you watch
my smoke —tomorrow.

I’ve been setting a lazy, no-account
example around this store; I act like a
hookworm, and talk like a clam; I mum-
ble around like a chronic invalid; I’ve
got a face on me like an affidavit and
every clerk in the place looks like his
last friend was dead, but you watch us
spruce up and be snappy—tomorrow.

I haven’t shown myself much of a
merchant, I haven’t kept up with the times, I ’’haven’t felt that there
was much call for our goods” and I haven’t believed heretofore in
proddin’ the public or gettin’ into the limelight—but you wacth [watch] me
begin to get ready to start to commence to prepare to undertake to
study to decide to finally Get a Move On—Tomorrow.

But not Today!

Lord, No! Oh not Today! —The Guinea Pig.

Critic—That auburn-haired poet says that the body is the house
of the soul.

Contractor—That’s all right; but why the terra-cotta roof?

No reference to allusions, but Mr. Slattery, whom some of us re-
member, will attend the convention, incidently to look after the in-
terests of the U. S. Gypsum Co.
