Your house may never burn—fire insurance is merely a wise provision against a remote contingency. 
But with regard to paint, “it is a condition and not a theory that confronts us.” If we don’t keep our 
property well painted it will surely deteriorate, and this deterioration can never be made good. A house 
kept in condition with good paint is practically imperishable. “Good Paint” is paint based on pure lin- 
seed oil and OXIDE OF ZINC.
