PAINT in Hlmply another kind of insurance, a protection aglnst weather. It eosta a lot more than fire insurance and It Ib worth a lot more because when you insure . a building you don't know It is going to burn down. There isn't once chance In a hundred that your protection is rfeally going to benefit you. IP you use good paint you know absolutely that the pro tection is going to save you a big loss. At least the value of the building, for it will make it last twice as long. If the paint isn't good tho protection is worthless, so why shouldn't you demand the same reliability with your paint insurance that you do with your fire Insurance. You will get it if you buy paint from us. A.D. KENNEDY ? ' \ S t-'y? > The Beat Hardware Houm in Camden. 'a " ?+ . . H ? ?--- ?- rJEnillAra
