Customary with the Chiffon Paint Co. to use in their roofpaints the same quality of oil and dryer as used in the Chiffon Paints. We could never see the reason for putting good paint on a house, and a poor paint on roof or barn. Any paint bearing the name Chiffon is made with pure linseed oil and turpentine dryer. We wish we knew what ''the old red school house. was painted with, where we went te school when a boy. Not Chiffon by any means, for it was painted beyond the memory of man.
