Poor oysters are less in price than
good ones but they do not satisfy.
Imitation paint can be bought at any
price but it is not satisfactory. The
prudent buyers in the East use
Chiffon PAINT because they know
what the result will be. They know
that in Chiffon PAINT they will get a
gallon if they pay for a gallon, that
they will get pure Linseed Oil Paint
without the disagreeable odor and
bad effect of Benzine. and that they
will receive an article which, when
applied to a dry surface. will
last for years. Economy in painting
is to. get the best paint and then
/. have it applied by the best painter.
