GOOD PAINTING CALLS
FOR GOOD MATERIALS
Fish Oil. Rarytes and Poor Work
men Cannot Give Best Results,
Says Master Painter.

Poor materials and poor workmanship
cannot produce anything but a poor
job of painting. says H. W. Taylor of
this city. in paper on satisfactory
Painting" presented at the last con-
vention of the International Associa
ton of Master House Painters and
Decorators of the United States and
Canada. held at Cincinnati in February.
Nowadays people often remark with
disgust It's impossible to have good
painting done any more: either the
paint is no good there are no good
painters" said Mr.. Taylor in the
paper. Sometimes there is ground for
the dissatisfaction, but sweeping state
ments of this kind do not mend matters
Such charges are too broad, and they
do not point the way to better paint
ing.
What is the real troublec Let US, as
house owners. see if We are in any de-
gree at fault. Such self-eXamination
may lead to enlightenment.
What do we do when he have a
building to paint? If it is new one
we may leave 1t to the architect. but
frequently the architect is so fearful
that we shall think him owned or at
least unduly Influenced in favor of som ..
manufacturer. that he lodges RESPONSE
bility of naming materials that he
knows are good and simply says best
materials must be used He may be a
little more definite and specify best
white lead and linseed OIL but in ac-
tual practice this usually works out
very little better than the first express
sion.

Making Another Mistake.

others say. Not by joyful He wants
it all. I've seen advertisements of
paint to be bought ready to put on, and
a guarantee goes with it that it will

will refund the money paid for it. The
advertisements say it will spread a

mixes too. and it is therefore much
cheaper. / don't see how | can lose.
I'll hire some fellow to put 1t on, be
cause any one can spread paint, and
I'll be away ahead of the game
1T looks easy. but the fact is. we
are easy. The paint goes on; maybe it
dries. maybe it doesn't. The workman
we employed forgot to scrape the old
paint down smooth where it had scaled
and it looks bad. The new paint stays
on possibly a few months. and then it
scales worse and sooner than the first
coat did. But we have our guarantee
and we think We'll collect. until a law
Yer tells us the guarantee is so shrewd-
ly drawn we couldn't collect a dollar
on it if we sued from now until judg-
mcnt day. So now we know absolute
ly there's no good paint any more
no honest makers and no competent
workmen.

Cannot Judge Paint in Pail.

Neither house owner nor architect
can check off the painter on such gen
era1 specifications. All paint looks
alike in the pail; it may be half chalk
as to pigment and half corn oil as to
medium and still pass muster to the
eye. Moreover. defects do not show at
once, and the paint is not likely to go
wrong until after the work is accepted
and the bill paid. When, in a year or
less. the paint begins to check, crack
and scale off ini:ugly splotches. the
house owner gets angry and says. It's
impossible to get honest materials and
honest workmanship nowadays" We
forget that the lowest bidder did the
work.
we forget, too, that in condemning
all paint because that which we used
went wrong we are about as reason
able as we should be if we declared
there were no good strawberries any
more simply because those we bought
of an irresponsible peddler proved rot
ten at the bottom of the box

Honest Painter Loses.

Bids then asked for and the low
est is accepted. Being required to fur
nish no definite materials. one painter
estimates honestly on standard brands
of pure white lead and pure linseed
oil. regarding the quality of which
there can be no question. Another
painter puts his own Interpretation on
the word best and submits low est-
mate. saying to himself, that's the
best" l can furnish at my price
THE frs: painter responds con-
scientiously to the architects specifi-
cations that the paint shall be applied
in a certain way. giving plenty of time
between coats and brushing out the
paint properly on each coat. The other
man thinks he can slight the work in
these important particulars and thus
manage to make something on his low
bid The result is that the honest
painter loses.

No Right to Squeal.

The fact is. we plunge on our paint
ing. hoping that maybe We'll win out
on the gamble. Then we 'squeal' in a
most unsportsmanlike manner when we
find we have been 'stung.'
I'VE are equally unfair toward ma
terials. There is just as good white
lead and just as good linseed oil, just
as good turpentine and just as good
tintins material nowadays as ever: in
fact, the good materials are better to-
day than they ever were before. But
we buy the worst and then blame re-
suits on the good materials we might
have used. but didn't.
1T is worth while to see that ma
terials specified are used. This is SIM
ply business prudence. You may trust
the paying teller, but you always count
your money. 1t is no reflection on any
one to look at the label on key of
white lead; but it is a reflection on you
if you don't.
Good work is done by intelligent.
conscientious painters. Such work
usually costs more. but it is worth
what it costs. 1t will pay the house
owner much more in dollars and cents
to insist on having the best materials
and then having them applied by good
Worllmen than to sit down and saw
there is no good paint and there are
no good painters any more"
