Why should I use Hughes Crescent
Cottage paint? Because it is pure paint,
contains no water or Barytes. Dc
some manufacturers put water in
paint? Yes; some paints on the mar
ket contain 25 per cent of water. Why
is water put in paint? Answer. To
cheaper it. Is that the only reason?
Answer. No What else does water
do in paint? Answer. It makes
paint look thick. What is the object
of that? Answer. To cause the
people to believe they are getting more
for their money. In what way? An
swer. Paint makers furnish the
water which costs nothing and then
you furnish the oil. You are the
. cats paw Now you may ask and
say this is a broad statement, but don't
