Better Paint

Better paint this year if your property
needsit Mistaken men have been wait
ing for paint to come-d down. The cost
of their job has gone-up not down; it
always goes-up by waiting; never comes
down.
Better paint than Devoe? There isn't
any.
Suppose one had waited 20 or 80 years
ago for better paint than Devoe; how
long would he have waited? How long
would he still have to wait?
The price a gallon makes some differ
ance; yes, but not much; it's the paint
that counts; the quality.
It's the go-far that counts. Protec-
ton of property counts more yet.
Better paint.
