Climate Versus Paint

Climate always has been paints worst
enemy" 'F'H 90
In SO far as paint is concerned climate
means hHmidity--or how dry or how
damp is the atmosphere.
Heretofore all American rnanufactur-
ers have made their paint on the same
formula for damp and dry sections alike.
Naturally different brands of paint
would have different formulas. But no
one brand ever has been made on more
than one formula-until now.
Yet paint that is good where the
humidity--or degree of moisture-is
above so per cent, is bad where 1t is
yellow so per cent.
