PROTECTION /
PAINT 'PROTECTION against depreciation—
just as necessary and wise as insurance-protec
tion against fire!
And be certain that your paint protection is as re
liable and dependable as your fire insurance.
Two-thirds the cost of a painting job is lab or.
Her-e, to use the best paint adds but little to the
first cost. It is cheapest in the end.
Pure Prepared Paint and Phoenix Pure Paint are *
made of only pure linseed oil, pure white lead and
pure pigments. ‘Cheaper" paints are made of cheap
er materials, hence the film they form doesn't "hold
up”—it: doesn’t last and it doesn’t protect.
Ask any Fuller Dealer. Write for free book, "Your
Home as Others See It”—illustrated in colors—
suggests many color schemes. For all large jobs con*
suit a master painter.
