How are you going to tell 8 good Paint from poor one by reading the advertisements?
 The poor paint may be advertised more extensively than the good one, as there is larger margin of profit for the manufacturer. It is difficult question to answer. The advertise ments of the Chiffon Paints have one object in view, to familiarize you with the name Chiffon, and connect it in your mind with paint; this done, we want you to inquire if you can, of those who have used it, how they like it-how it wears-if it is an econ omical paint to buy ask all the ques- tions you choose, we will abide by the results and will be pleased to tell you who has used it.
