between kinloch'' and any really high

oil. All prepared paint is first ground into n
thick paste similar to ''Kinloch.'' but we
stop there. The ready-nixed paint maker
goes on and adds the oil. (som ethiug your
fourteen-year-old boy can do) and the dea: er

three to four times more than for oil they
