QuoIity in Paint
I'm buying paint what Is
the rule for getting a good
product?" v. c. asks.
Answer-The easiest way
is to buy the products of a
recognized leader in the paint
manufacturing business. He
did not get to be a leader
with inferior paint. Beware
OF bargain priced paint. IN
less the price has been re-
duced for a legitimate sale,
something important is being
omitted from the formula.
If you are tempted to buy a
product on the basis Of price,
compare the formula on the
label with that of a high
grade paint. Do not buy a
paint where the formula is
given in vague terms such as
contains linseed oil" instead
OF having a definite percent
age stated.
