Mad at Paint

25c gallon for paint is labout s2.50 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 re- fuse 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 water: no water no rot; no paint, some water and rot; and little rot is more than enough to make a man liberal toward his painter and paint.
 Paint costs not cent. All the paint in the world, so long as it keeps-out water, costs not cent.
