WORKOUT OLD BUILDINGS
Dismal and Dangerous, They Can Be
Transformed by Some Paint
and Energy

Doesn't 1t make something in you
ache when you pass a building, resi-
dence or business property, that looks
like it had Weathered the blasts and
reflected the suns Of fifty or more
neeting seasons?, There are splotches
and blotches all over it; the shingles
or pieces Of the roofing often curl up
at the ends like a crank relormers
hair; neglect seems to have covered 1t
with a frayed and tattered mantle; the
doors sag, and the windows wink at
you with bleary indifference, And
people live in them; It Is not living;
1t is existing, and very poor sort OF
existence at that No one can do busi-
ness in such a place, Such building
reminds one of ragged beggar seek
ing for a job. A little work, little
energy, little paint will transform
one Of these places into habitatlon ut
for human dwelling, or make the for
mer decrepltude and decay give place
to inviting brightness In the case OF
a business room.
Clean up and paint up, Paint de-
stroys millions OF germs that infest
wood Paint Is one OF the enemies
with whom the doctor has to contend
Paint IL the Doctors rival.
