Il LEAN UP and Paint Up"
has become a nationwide
slogan in the interests OF
homes and towns beautt-
full since Allen w. Clark, a st. Louis
publisher, organized the National
Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
bureau In May, 1912. MI. Clark, for
many years identified with the Amerf-
can paint trade. sought to rouse and
organize into a single national move
ment the "clean up spirit which stirs
each spring in every normal man and
woman and nearly every thriving COM
munity.
The first year something like 1000
towns and cities conducted local clean
up and paint up campaigns based on
plans suggested by the national bu-
reau. This number has increased each
year until in 1915 approximately 5000
local campaigns were organized. Each
of these took the form Of a real civic
movement.
Where Everybody Helps.
City and town officials, woman's
club leaders. boards of trade. health
oficials. fire insurance and fire pre-
vention leaders, school children, boy
scouts and the local paint men all CO.
operated in the interests of a more
beautiful, more sanitary and more
homelike home town. Individual prop
erty values were increased, loss
through disease and fire waste was
lessened, and the importance OF clean
illness, thrift and civic pride In any
movement for homes and towns beau
tiful was c~onvincingly pointed out "
erywhere.
The weakness of the old-time clean
up day or week" orgy Of the annual
bath" order is eliminated from these
campaigns. Permanent results and
ultimately a year-round effort are
sought.
Clean Up the Farm Too.
With the idea Of making the farm
home more attractive and more health
full a farm clean up day has been sug-
gested. Why not this idea long ago?
Cities, towns and villages have q
their clean up days. and because OF
these and similar influences beauty
