SPRING STYLES 



There is fashion in paints as well as in clothing 

 Repainting may be from desire for change as well as 

 from necessity. If a different style in house-dress is desired, what so convenient, so 

 economical as a high grade prepared paint based on Oxide of Zinc ? Where, too, 

 such variety of choice?
