Parsimony in paint is expensive economy. Paint costs little 

 but preserves materials that cost much. The loss from decay" 

 that can be prevented by" timely use of paint can never be made 

 good — which means, it pays to use paint freely. And when you use 

 paint let it be the kind that looks best and protects longest, that is, 

 paint containing an adequate proportion of OXIDE OF ZINC. 

 Our Pamphlet, "Paint: Why, How and When" (free to property 

 owners) explains the matter.
