From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 19, 1912:

[Advertisements] “Pay more for Devoe Lead and Zinc Paint; be glad to; it’s full measure to the gallon, and honest paint. Paint is like a watch dog; guards your property from decay. You don’t want a watch dog that doesn’t watch from 2 to 5 o’clock in the morning. Short-measure paint. You don’t want a watch dog that wags his tail at a burglar. False, adulterated paint. The burglar is rain, snow, sun. Devoe Lead and Zinc Paint is good paint and nothing but paint; as good as it can be made. Buy paint by the name. F. W. Jaedicke, 724 Mass.” … “You may not like the snug English lines that mark the prevailing style. If you don’t, tell us so, and we can fit you in more moderate STEIN-BLOCH Spring Styles that will suit you. The STEIN-BLOCH ‘Standard’ is one of these. A conservative suit, with just the touches that indicate style drift, but not the complete plunge.” … “The new wafer thin watches for ladies and gentlemen are the greatest thing in their line that Lawrence has ever seen. They are ideal for both men and women. Look at Gustafson’s window. It tells the tale.” … “Base Ball Goods that stand the wear — The Best in the World. SPALDINGS Shoes, Suits, Caps, Gloves, Masks, Protectors. Everything in the Base Ball line. Smith’s News Depot, 709 Mass.” … “FOUND — A watch. Owner can have same by proving property and paying for ad. Wilson Crowder, 1005 Miss. St.” … “Bowersock Theater. The Season’s Noted Event. Saturday April 13. The World’s Great Musical Rage — Madame Sherry. Cast of celebrities. Beauty Chorus. 22 Song Hits. GREAT PRODUCTION. Seats ready Friday at Woodward & Co.

Meritol Hair Tonic keeps the scalp clean, promotes a healthy growth of beautiful hair and keeps it soft and lustrous. Try it. Raymond’s Drug Store.”
