LETTERS TO SOUTH PARIS PEOPLE.
Mr.. A. c. r. King, South Paris:
Dear Sir: Your work as a contractor
Is Judged not only by how 1t looks, but
how long It lasts. The longer your
work defies the elements, the more your
reputation grows.
When you build house you naturally
want It painted with the most durable
paint made.
Take two paints Of the came quality
one mixed by hand and the other ground
by powerful mschinery-snd the one
ground by machinery will wear the
longest-probably two or three times n
long as the hand mixed.
Grinding by machinery insures uni
formity and fineness unattainable with
paint mixed 10 a paint tub with stick.
The fiuer the pigment the more oil Will
1t take up. This is one reason why
finely ground paint will give better
service than when the pigment 10 coarse
