PAINT FOR BEAUTY Y HOUGH you i- home may be expensively constructed of the best materials, built by the finest builders, it may still lack' something . . . it is the surface, .that meets the eye. Unless your home is protected and beautified by good paint work you are neglecting the most important point of appearance. Paint is . not only beautifying but economical ... it will protect your home against time and weather. Estimates, no obligation. Bugg Paint Co. Elm St. Decorators Contractors Paints & Supplies 1 ,
