Cheap Paint
Just let us say a work about
the 95 cent per gallon paint
which many people are
tempted to order from Chi
cago because ot the seemingly low price.
People nowadays come pretty near getting what they pay for and
this is particularly true when it comes to Buying paint material. The
jobbing (that is the wholesale) price of Linseed Oil today is 75 cents per
gallon and pure lead is $8.00 per hundred pounds. Ir takes 20 lbs. of
lead to one gallon o( oil to make the regular lead and oil mixture used by
all first class painters. Here is 75 cents for oil and $1.60 for lead or a
total cost of $2.35 for about a gallon and a half of best quality lead and
oil print. Remember these are wholesale figures on lead and oil pro
duced on this Coast without the addition of freight charges.
Now how can they sell you paint in Chicago for 95 cents? It's
easy if you know how. They use a cheap oil (even though oil is the
life of good paint) and not enough white lead to flag a bread wagon. A mineral body costs about two
cents per pound instead of 8 cents and it is therefore easy to make a profit of 20 per cent on this 95 cent
per gallon paint where the legitimate dealer en this Coast is well satisfied with a profit of 10 percent on all
lead and oil sales.
When you pay 20 or 24 cents per gallon freight, and this is what it should -cost unless it is under
weight because of a very thin cheap dope, then your cost runs up to l, 1 5 or $1.20 per gallon and we have
stacks of Sherwin-Williams paint that will beat it at every turn in the road for this price. To be sure it is
not S & W regular house paint made of lead, oil, etc , but it is S & W creosote paint and we guarantee
the wearing qualities. We might add that one gallon of Sherwin-Williams paint will cover 25 to. 40 per
cent greater surface than any of these cheap paints and will outwear them from one to three years.
As stated in the beginning, we get what we pay for, although looking at the 95 cent price without
taking anything else into consideration, one would naturally think the high grade paints were over priced
but the real facts are the per cent of profit on high grade paints is less than the average dealer makes on the
low grades.

without a doubt that we were right. The
Sherwln-Wllllnms Co. own five large paint
