A Good Time to Paint 



Much painting should be done this spring, whether 

 linseed oil be slightly lower or slightly higher; for 

 with the 1910 flax crop short it seems unreasonable 

 to expect a return to the oil prices of a few years ago. 



The thing to remember is that, though high, paint 

 materials are not nearly so expensive as the repairing of a 

 neglected house. Even oil at $1.00 or $1.25 makes the paint- 

 ing of the average house cost only $4 or $5 more than it used 

 to cost. That isn't enough more to justify letting a $10,000 

 house, or even a $2,000 house, go to ruin. Paint it this spring. 

 It will cost you less than later. 



And use "Dutch Boy Painter" white lead and genuine linseed oil. People 

 are tempted sometimes, when standard materials are high, to employ something 

 inferior. A great mistake, because not true economy. 



Moreover, the first cost of genuine Dutch Boy Painter" white lead paint 



is not so great as you may have been led to believe. It may surprise you 



if you do a little figuring for yourself. Get from your local dealer prices 

 on the following ingredients:

1214 lbs. "Dutch Boy Painter" white lead $. 

 'A gallon Pure linseed oil .... 



Vi gallon Turpentine ------ 



Y% pint Turpentine drier - - - - - 



This makes 1 gallon Genuine old-fashioned paint 



Compare this with the cost of any other paint you would think of 

 using. You'll find the best is also the cheapest.
