40 years under modern conditions has
experienced more life and better life

Paint in a certain sense, is a minor
matter. yet it gives beauty, healthful
ness and durability TO our dwellings.
Fifty years ago painting was a serious
proposition, a luxury for the owners
OF stately mansions who could afford
the expense Of frequent renewals. To
day ready mixed paint is so cheap. so
good. and so universal that no house
owner has an excuse for not keeping
his property well painted.
A small thing. indeed; yet several
hundred large factories, employing
thousands Of chemists and skilled
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
