WHAT WIFE SAYS AcoEs..
But u Sometimes 10 Bad for the
Painting.

When = property-Owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner. and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be so if the property
owner would always hire skilled
painter. and then really leave every
thing to him. But the house-owner SO
often fools himself on one or the other
OF these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever vexed a consci-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place.
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house a MONTH" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of a lot of wasted painting
money
II the painter stays away a few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: That painter .
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones' work. / won t
stand It,"
What chance does painter have to do
good work for man who is continually
| nagging at him and otherwise handi-
Gaping him without meaning 1t. OF
course)? A poor Job is the inevitable
result of such interference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money-don't forget that. 1t might
pay you to get the practical paint
book. painting specifications and in.
strument for detecting paint adul
terants, which National Lead Co. are
offering under the title of House

The Statesville Landmark has
undertaken to solve the question,
"What:is Sonker pie"? The Of
forts it has made to enlighten the
public upon this important gus
ton are certainly commendable,
but we have every right to expect
that accurate information will be
given, In its issue Of the 27th,
the Landmark says:
As TO the origin of "sonker," a
friend suggests that it has a con-
nection with sinker. Those who
frequent lunch counters in towrs
and cities often ask for a "sink-
er"-meaning a piece of pie and
pie is called slnker because it is
more or less heavy, hard to d.
gest. Sonker and sinker are EVIL.

this extract is wholly misleading

If this is an approximately true
