Wrong Ideas
on Paint Economy

Don't allow surfaces to rot
il costs less to paint them.
We've made paints for west
ern use for II years. We use
pure PIONEER WHIT Z
LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc
and color, but we mix them in
scientific proportions with long
time skill.
Our white lead base must be
fine enough to pass through a
silk screen with 10000 meshes
to the square inch. That means
covering capacity and ease of
spreading. We super-purify the
lead to make il 'whiter," which
means clear-toned colors.
The finished product on the
house is a beautiful, elastic
tough protective coating.
We call these paints ''Fuller's
Specification House Paints" be-
cause they are the very best
made for the purpose.

THERE'S one way to save
i on paint. That way is to use
The best of paint.
Some think Of paint economy
as cost per gallon" That is
wrong. Cheap paint doesn't
cover as much surface you
need more gallons.
Cheap paint Is more difficult
TO- spread, requires more labor,
80 the best paint costs no more
when you've put il on the house
than cheap paint does.
More than that, Il lasts FIVE
or more years longer, il prop
erly applied, while cheap paint
on the average begins cracking
in twelve months. Good paint
is an invesfmenf that saves
money by preventing deteriora-
ton of the house.
"Cheap" paint is the only
paint that really eOsfs you any
thing.
