LETTER TO J. N. RIVERS,

Dear Sir: There are thousands OF
people saying: That's what I call a
good job OF paint. II has worn three
years. I'm going To repaint before IL
needs il; three years is enough"
Those people are a long way behind
the times. There are two reasons for
painting; those people know only one:
they are thinking only of wear. of
keeping out water Three years may
bee too long for the looks Of paint,
II isn't half long enough for the wear.
II all YOU want OF paint is to keep out
water. Devoe is good for dozen
wears in average places. And that
isn't all
The cost of the job is the first thing
