IT WILL COST YOU LESS MONEY

IT WILL COST YOU LESS MONEY
 To paint your house with Chiffon Paint than any other kind. You will use fewer gallons of it than any paint ever made, for every shade is mixed and ground in pure linseed oil seven times, and therefore will cover more surface than paint made in an ordi- nary may. Not only will it cover more, but it will last for years if it is applied to a dry surface. Never allow your painter to work over wet wood. You are sure to be disappointed. If the pores of the wood are filled with wa ter, the oil cannot enter. Better not have your house painted at all than to have it done badly.
