The cheapest thing
in the way of tending anything
over the world is a postage stamp;
and th cheapest way to

Not whitewash; paint. Do yon
happen to belong
to your business to knew about
paint, you you happen
to know that most of the makers
of paint stuff it out with lime and
clay sand and water and
They do stuff it out in the can;
but not on the house. They make
more to sell or to buy;
money to pay for paint; more
money to pay for putting it on; a
good deal more money to pay
putting it on; but more beauty;
more rust; decay; disappointment;
is your paint, because
all no sham,
