Paint?

There are two good reasons for painting often-enough or even too often. One, to look prosperous; two, to be so.
 Nothing does one more credit or gives one more credit than paint, sup plemented of course by what goes with it; and paint costs nothing. True, the first cost is $5 or $6 a gallon put-on; but it saves more than that in the property; saves it from slow going -down-not always slow-it drops with a jump when water gets in on wood and iron.
 Dry wood and iron cost nOthings kept dry by paint
 Better paint when it needs it. Paint never goes-down in the sense of be- ing more profitable next year.
