method OF sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep Of any commu-,

ed from decay as structure coated
with good oil paint. This Is due to
the fact that q sheet Of rubber is not

dried film Of paint The latter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic wear resisting
pigments. square foot of such a
film upon a wooden surface costs less
than penny. yet II will beautify and
protect dollars worth Of surface for
many years This Is low rate Of in
