He buys of a big mail-order house one of the many water emulsion paints, pays his freight bill, pays his painter and thinks he has saved money. Believes the best is always the cheapest in the end, so he doesn’t look for cheap paint. He also knows that it costs as much, usually more, to spread a cheap paint as the best. After a thorough investigation he finds many houses that have been painted from 7 to 10 years with S. W. Paint and still look good. He finds a gallon covers more surface and that it spreads easier. He finds an absolute guar antee of satisfaction goes with Sherwin Williams Paint bv the largest paint man- ufacturer in the world. So he decides on S. W. P.
