If it were the policy of the Chiffon Company to put up its paint short weight or measure, it would make so much differ ence that it would amount in the course of year to a handsome profit, but this would all come out of the customers of Chiffon Paint and therefore the scheme of scant quantity has never been entertained.
 The Chiffon Paint has always been made with Pure Linseed Oil and will continue to be so made until a better vehicle can be found, and, should an oil be made which is superior to that compressed from flax seed, the Chiffon Company would be the first to use it, and would. then inform the public of the fact through its advertise ments. Linseed Oil is the old-fashioned oil for paint and the one which should be used Nothing has ever been found which approaches it for the purpose intended. No benzine or benzine drier is ever ad- mitted to the Chiffon Paint.
 IL enjoys the confidence of the people and deserves it.
