Paint Put-on

Think OF paint put-on and not by
the gallon
A gallon of paint in the can is Of no
account TO anybody. Put it on. Now
reckon It's cost and value.
The secret is: one paint goes twice
as far as another. A good one goes
twice as far rs a bad one.
You have job, say an average job.
It'll take 10 gallons Devoe and II or 10
or Is or 20 of middling poor very-poor
and trash. You know painters wages
in your town. Put the price of a gal.
Ion of paint and the painters day
wage together. You can, we can't.
Devoe costs less than any inferior
paint; there are hundreds of them.
One paint is as good as another, so
long ss ii lasts good: one lasts months
and another years; and the one that
goes furthest lasts longest.
