May, 1908 THE GARDEN MAGAZINE advise parents in regard to schools 
and the colors have most careful 
consideration. 
Before you figure-it-out, a low-price-per-gallon 
paint Jooks cheapest. But let’s see: 
Suppose you were going to paint; for instance, a 
house like the one above. We’ll estimate the 
total surface to be covered at 10,000 square feet. 
We'll compare the cost of the Jazzt only—the good 
paint and the cheap paint—assuming the dabor to 
be the same in both cases. 
Now good paint—Lowe Brothers ““High Standard” 
—will cover 350 or more square feet to the gallon, 
two coats, and a paint made to sell at a cheap 
price per gallon or a ‘‘strictly pure hand-mixed-by- 
guess” willcover approximately 200 to 250 square feet 
two coats. This means that it will require 30 gallons 
of “High Standard” Paint, and of the cheap paint 
45 gallons, or 15 gallons more. 
Suppose that the ‘HighStandard”’ Paint costs 40cents 
per gallon more than the cheap—soumds big, doesn’t it? 
Still the cheap paint or “‘hand-mixed”’ would really 
cost at current prices $8.25 more than the 
Weed you paint a house, the cost 
for this work. That isn’t all. The Lowe Brothers 
Paint will last five years and more, and the other 
not over three. 
At current prices, therefore, “‘High Standard’”’ Paint 
will cost $9.75 per year Jess than cheap or “‘hand- 
mixed.”’ Worth saving isn’t it?
