We Blaze Another New Trail --
With the Biggest Idea That Has Hit the Paint and Varnish
Business in Fifty Years
You who have pediaps spent your vaca tion "hitting" some trail.through the woods or over the mountain passes, know what a lure the trail has.
But the biggest lure is to the pioneer v..io blazes the way. He is the one who gets the thrill of the unknown, the satis faction of doing something new, the glories of the scene at the other end.
Those who follow him can only benefit in proportion to his pioneering skill--and the trail soon gets beaten smooth.
The Sherwin-Williams Co. has always been a trail blazer. It has never been con tent to follow.
We have only to mention our pioneering of quality prepared paints; the marketing ^-household specialties in small packages; .P'* building up of our own raw material tMttral; the expansion of our warehousing distribution; the organization of a match less sales force; the persistent use of ad vertising; the successful application of the campaign idea to our business. And we could well include such as the advent of the "Cover the Earth," the "Brighten Up .-ea," "The Top Notcher," the "MarchOrders," the "Forward Again, "The Ju bilee," the "Products Idea"--we have al ways stepped out and gone forward at the Psychological time.
On September 15th, we step out once a^atn with a new idea, a new plan.
It's the Household Guide.
For the first time, the public will have a ""wly reference guide to help them with their paint and varnish problems. For the "tst time, we present in a simple, helpful Vr. the leaders in our vast line of prod
's. each in its right place in relation to the finishing needs of the average house holder.
We conceived this plan as the outgrowth
*. ^termination to find something that be different from ordinary paint or
,*,,rn. advertisipg; that would render a v>ce to the public; that would, enable
/"/"Wic to call for our products by their names; that would help our agents
.. -Qlers sell these products more easily: that W0U^ impress the public with the fact f., ^ [pake the right finish for each sur-
''*W,that would give the public some
thing to refer to when about to do a painting or varnishing job.
The Guide is their assurance of quality.
safety and satisfactory results. The ail thnrity is back of it--T he Sherwin-WilHants Company.
