Preserving Worn Surfaces.

There are sometimes places on the
exterior of a house where the paint
gets worn off and which cannot be re.
touched without making a "botch job"
of it owing to the difficulty of mixing
the new paint to match the adjoining
color which has faded. To preserve
the wood in such spots until the house
can be reprinted, apply two coats OF
linseed oil with q rag. This will i'm
