  of 
  a 
  

   firm

  business 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  select 
  and 
  supervise 
  

   every 
  phase 
  of 
  building 
  work, 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  

   plans 
  to 
  the 
  smallest 
  detail 
  of 
  the 
  furnishing 
  and 
  

   decoration. 
  

  

  The 
  contract 
  under 
  which

  methods 
  and 
  materials 
  best 
  

  

  qualified 
  for 
  the 
  particular 
  work 
  contemplated: 
  

   2. 
  — 
  It 
  gives 
  these 
  men 
  intelligent 
  superintendence:

   5. 
  — 
  It 
  allows 
  the 
  owner 
  the 
  widest 
  choice 
  of 
  selection, 
  and

  relieves 
  the 
  owner 
  of 
  all 
  technical 
  detail 
  and 
  trouble, 
  and 
  thus 
  enables 
  

  

  him 
  to 
  devote 
  his 
  attention 
  to 
  his 
  regular 
  work.

  Parsimony" 
  in 
  paint 
  is

  Paint

  which 
  means, 
  it 
  pays 
  to

  you 
  use 
  

   paint 
  let 
  it 
  be 
  the 
  kind 
  that 
  looks 
  best

  protects 
  longest, 
  that 
  is, 
  

   paint
