New Yorkers awoke one morning to
find In tliclr breakfast headlines the
news that u zealous park employee had
discovered signs of disintegration on
the surface of the city's most treasured
antique Gleopa Ira's Needle. Photo
graphs revealed that the monolith was
peeling, large pieces of sandstone hav
ing fallen from the tall shall, carrying
with them part of the prized hiero
glyphs. London's twin sister of Cleopatra's
Needle was reported as resting coni
fortahly and endurlngly on the banks
of the Thames, and the rival port won
dered whether a preparation would be
found to slay the attacks of their
harsher climate.

an educational campaign to encourage
building In order to put. more men 10
work. Would not a similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer. It is lenrned that such a
plan is In effect and :s linked dl.-ectly
with the Washington propaganda
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace.
lOmployment must be found, In the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa
tion has been interrupted. There Is no
real surplus of labor in the United
.States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi
ditlons were already restored, und one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, Imposed by
the necessities of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction,
Improvement and repairs. These re
strictions are now off, und there is
scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action ex
cept the feeling that prices are high
for the time being and may be lower.
That Is not logical. No matter what
it costs to repair, the cost is less than I
the cost of neglect. No mutter what j
1 lie cost of paint, the wind and the ,
weather will collect a higher bill In
deterioration and decay.

THE QU1NCY MANSION, QUINCY, MASS., BUILT IN 1635. .
America's classic example of a clapboard building preserved for ovp
t'o hundred years by careful nnd frequent painting. It lias secret panels

l.uter the' home of great statesmen and of the famous belle, Dorothy Quincy,

Query. What do you think of pulnt as
an Investment, aside from the appearance
It lends? Does it really PAY to paint a
house regularly, say, every three or four
years?
Answer. Good paint properly ap
plied when needed Is the main tiling in
making a house last long and well. A ;
house worth $2,500 can be painted at a i
cost of about $125. In CO years that !
house will need about l!i paintings, '
the totul cost of which will be $l,8il,ri. j
Left without paint, such a house would j
fall Into complete ruin In 80 years. Bo j
taking CO yeurs as a basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time In good condition
and will cost, plus paint, $4,370, With
out pulnt the house would have, to he
rebuilt at the end of 30 years and
would be reudy for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without pulnt, $0,000 for
n home reudy to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? As the old
Dutch adage says:
"PAINT PAYS FOR ITSELF."
a
SAVE THE SURFACE.
Save the surface and you save
nil. Disintegration und decay,
tire conditions- which usually w
w start at the surface of any mil-
terinl. Protection against de-
w lerloratlon or rot of substances,
therefore, should begin witli
care of the exterior. Provided a
material does not carry within
Itself the element of sure decay,
proper surface protection will
undoubtedly lengthen Its life.

what Is of enormous importance,

makes his work satisfactory.
With the approach of Spring everybody feels
that' they should get busy and clean up around
home and one of the most essential things to do
at this time of the year is to give your house a

We have a fine line of Heath & Milligan House,
Barn and Roof Paints on hand and would be glad
to discuss your paint needs with you.
With house cleaning time we call attention to
the ladies of the many uses of
Sunshine Varnishes
A preparation' that does not require the services
of an expert painter but can be applied with suc
cess by any lady and it will work wonders around
the house. We have it in all colors.

Old paint In that condition Is best used

you vulue your barn sufficiently to
paint It, do It the Justice of a good Job.

Preserve Your
Buildings
Do you know that a new coat of paint will add
nearly 25 percent to the life of your building?
That if you repaint your buildings every five
years financial men would consider your build
ing better security for a loan than your neighbor
whenever takes the trouble to have his buildings
repainted?
That if there was no value in the effect of
Painting the United States Government would
not spend thousands of dollars every few years
in repainting the capitol and other government
buildings.
And yet there is another and equally important
value to the repainting of your buildings and
that is Your Own Satisfaction in knowing that
you are doing your share in beautifying the com
munity in which you live and that you are do
ing full justice to your own investment.
Let me submit plans and estimates for repaint
ing your house this spring.
