Mad at Paint

25c gallon for paint is about - 80
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
refuse to pay; but when ones proper V
needs protecting is no time TO get mad
and not paint.
Besides, il costs more to get mad and
wait than TO paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any good to
your property; paint does il good by
keeping out water; no water, no rot:
no paint, some water and rot; and a
little rot is more than enough 10 make
a man liberal towards his painter and

Paint costs not a cent. All the paint
in the world, so long as it keeps out
water, costs not a cent.
