We spend mure to make paint for your econ omy as follows: We use only the best materials in Fuller's Specification H o u s e Paints— PIO N EER VV H 1 T E LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and finest colors. We super-purify the lead in a special purifier. Then we make the lead so fine that it will pass through a silk screen with 40,000 meshes to the square inch. The “whiter" lead means clearer- toned colors. The extreme fineness means better m i x i n g quality, greater covering capacity, more ease in spreading — a paint that’s always uniform and smooth. Such paints when applied form a beautiful elastic, tough, protec tive coat that stays. They are known as "Fuller’s Specification House Paints." F W here “ C h e a p ” P a in ts Fail Don’t Figure Paint Economy as “Cost per Gallon.” "Cheap paints can’t compete with good paints in economy. “Cheap" paint covers less—you buy more gallons. It is harder to spread, requires more work—so you pay more labor cost. Your "saving" in less cost per gallon is very quickly eaten up. Cheap paint starts to crack in twelve months. Good paint re mains good five or more years. It is really the cheap paint that is expensive. Don't allow surfaces to rot—it costs lea to paint them. There is no real cost in painting with the best paint. Depreciation of an unpainted building far ex ceeds the cost of paint. F ree Advice o n P a in tin g \ S K . , our agent for our fr«e ailvice.
