T I could not help thinking of the thousands of hom es and buildings that are shabby and unattractive today due to several years of neglected painting; of the millions o f hom e ow ners w ho, because of reduced incom es and enforced econom y, have been obliged to sacrifice painting for taxes, in terest, assessm ents, to say nothing of food, clothing, heat and other essentials o f com fort and health. You have seen these paint-starved houses and buildings, as have I. T hey are ev ery w h ere about you . Perhaps your hom e is included. D o you understand what they signify? Do you realize what will happen to w ood or metal that is literally naked o f paint if these houses and buildings face the attack o f another season o f rain, snow, ice, and frost? N e v e r in the history of our country has the situation been paralleled. P roperty ow n ers face an added burden of exp en se am ounting to m illions of dollars fo r repairs and replacements next spring. A n d th e c r isis, in m y o p in io n , w ill be reached this coming winter when paint of four, five, and even six years exposure to the weather will be unable to resist the elem ents —when badly w eathered wood and metal will be easy prey for rot, rust and d ecay. Look especially, to the w indow sills, thresh olds, outdoor porches and steps; the joints o f porch railings and palings; the bases of pillars; the edges of eaves; the roof; the gutters and down spouts. T h ese are the vital spots w here water lo d g es— where ice and frost settle— w here rot and rust attack first. A few dollars’ worth of good paint, applied now, will protect these vital spots—will tide you over this crucial w inter. A n d it w ill probably save you a much greater expense for repairs and replacem ents next spring and summer. U n d er existing conditions, you may be tempted to buy a cheap paint because of its low price. I hope you will not make this costly m istake. E ven on sound lum ber, inferior paint is a poor bargain. But on w eathered wood, w hich is very porous, such paint is w orse than useless. It gives you a false feeling of security and leaves you without protection. Prices o f w ell-know n, established brands of paint are now the low est in fifteen years. Enough good, dependable paint can be purchased for a few dollars to protect all the badly weathered surfaces on your building. Again I repeat, do a com plete job this fall if you can. B ut at least do the vital exposed places before it is “ too late.** T od ay the big question facing thousands of property ow ners is plain. It is “paint or pay. ” E ither you must invest a little this fall in new paint or you must take the risk o f This message to the property owners o f America is spon sored by the following paint manufacturers and their dealers: ACME WHITE LEAD AND COLOR WORKS DETROIT WHITE LEAD WORKS W.
