Plain Words from a Painter 

 to a House Owner 



"You would think that painters averaged better 

 than bankers, lawyers or merchants, the way 

 people trust them," said an old painter to a 

 property owner who had called him in to tell 

 why his painting had gone wrong. 



"Painters will average just as high in skill and 

 honesty as any class, perhaps," he continued, 

 "but we have fakirs to contend with in our trade 

 as much as you do in yours. And you property 

 owners leave everything to the painter who bids 

 lowest. 



"There is nothing much wrong with this job 

 except that the painter used a substitute for pure 

 white lead and did his work too hurriedly. I 

 suppose he had to do it in order to make anything 

 on what you paid him. 



"Next time specify pure white lead guaranteed 

 by the 'Dutch Boy Painter' for all your painting, 

 and give the good painters in your community 

 an even chance. Then allow them time to do 

 the work right."

"I have entered into an agreement with the Victor Talking Machine Company to make 

 exclusively for them, under my personal direction, records of Victor Herbert s Orchestra; 

 and have entered into this agreement because of the artistic merits of their goods and because 

 of the great names represented in their record catalog." _ 



You can take Victor Herbert's word for it. /] ""
