Don't Neglect to Paint.
1t is apparent to even the casual
observer that many property owners
let their rented houses, or houses for
rent. go too long without painting.
This neglect makes the houses look
unsightly but also hastens the day Of
decay. A little paint is good invest

serves the wood and it keeps the
houses rented. The writer visited an
Illinois town last spring and after a
careful observation found not a single
house which was not we'll and fairly

a clean up and paint up campaign.
The impression left was one OF

flower beds and shrubbery, and each
householder seemed to vie with nls
