WHAT is PAINT,

The paint on house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply structural under layer. That
is as 1t should be. Unprotected wood
Will not well Withstand weather. But
paint made Of pure white lead and
linseed oil Is an invuinerable armor
against sun and rain, heat and cold
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with .

And the outside of the house is the

ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack of painting or by poor
painting.
