Are You going 10 Paint

this spring ?-Ihe weather is
about right for painting, the outsid e of
your house is thoroughly Try and there
will be little chance for cracking or
peeling. Water in the wood you paint
or water in the pant you use has to
get out in some way, hence the peel
ing.
Linseed oil costs the manufac turer
of paint more money than water, and
water in paint costs the man who uses
the paint more money than linsee d oil.
We want to warn you that water in
paint is dangerous. How can you tell ?
The water paints are cheaper. You can
be on the safe side, however, by using
the Chiffon Paints. They are pure
linseed oil paints and contain no wa
ter.
Get color card it will help you in
the seec ton of shades.
