MAD AT PAINT.

Doc Il gallon for paint is about
-. 80 on the average job, and lots
Of men waited last year for that;
but they didn't reckon; they got
mad; wouldn't pay it,
There are times to get mad
and refuse to pay; but when
ones property needs protecting
is no time to get mad and not
paint.
Besides, it costs more to get
mad and wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any
good to your property; paint
does it good by keeping out wa
ter; no water no rot; no paint
some water and rot; and a little
rot is more than enough to make
a man liberal toward his painter
and paint.
Paint costs not a cent, All
the paint in the world, SO long
as it keeps out water, costs not
a cent.
