Dear Sir: You know how well
it pays to keep your carriages

keep out water, 1t pays as we'll
to paint your barn and your
house. We put your barn first,
because that is your business
your customers see il.
You see, there are two good
reasons for paint; one is looks;
the other is wear. Ii you paint
for looks, the wear will take
care of itself.
Paint often for looks; and use
good paint for both looks and
wear. .. ,-.........
