PROTECTION l
PArNT'PROTECTION against depreciation—
just as necessary and wise as msurance-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 labor.
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 cheapo
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.
