Reams have been written on the
subject of paint and its possibilities.
Paint beautifies.
Paint protects.
Paint enhances property value. Paint
helps prevent disease, affords sur
faces that are more sanitary, easier to
clean. Paint saves labor. Paint makes
for happiness. All this and much else
has been said about paint, and the
same things are said of varnlshi
' > Everyone knows that battleships
are encased in steel, armor plate.
This is to keep shot and shell from
penetrating vital parts and certain
paints and varnishes have precisely
this same characteristic. When fully
dried, they have a toughness, entirely
comparable to actual metal. In their
armor-like impenetrability to the
"shot and shell* of wear and weather,
they do exactly for the surfaces they
coat what the armor ooat is doing for
the battleship. __

Take for instance, a softwood floor.
In the very, nature of things it is
comparatively soft and subject to
gbrasion^ The hammering, shuffling,
scraping, scarring abuse it gets makes
it soon scuff tsp, wear thin around
the knots and wear out. But give
this same floor a coat or two of the
right kind of paint or varnish, and
what happens? It immediately be
comes armored—takes on much of the
durability and the appearance, too, of
hardwood. Because of the astonish
ing hardness and toughness of its
protective surface of paint or varnish,
no wear comes directly upon it. Its
strength ie never weakened by the
thinning, scuffing-up process, ,<nd it
lasts indefinitely. Such floors are al
ways more beautiful 'and sanitary,
and the reflnishings necessary to keep
them so, come at such long intervals
that the cost of maintenance is really
but a trifle.
One well-known paint that gives
thir result to floors is Acme Granite
Floor Paint, so-called because of its
granite-like hardness and durability
when dry. Other paint and varnish
of ecytial-desirability are sold here in
this locality by the Acme Quality
