Query-?What <lo you think of paint as
an investment, aside from the appearance
it lends? Does it really PAY to paint a
house regularly, say, even' three or four
years?
Answer.?Good paint properly npu-imn
tioa/iod 5o flir* mn in tliinp1 in
i-'UCU ?? lltll A - - making
a house last long and well. A
house worth $2,500 can be painted at a j
cost of about $125. In 00 years that i
house will need about 15 paintings,
the total cost of which will be $1,S05.
Left without paint, such a house would
fall into complete ruin in 30 years. So
taking GO years as a basis for our fig-1
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time in good condition I
and will cost, plus paint, $4,375. With-;
out paint the house would have to he
rebuilt at the end of 30 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar-j
rived. Cost, without paint, $5,000 for,
a home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? As the old j
Dutch adage says:
i
VAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY |
The preservation of structural ma- i
terials, which may be obtained through j
the application of paint, constitutes a j
most vital means of furthering the conj
servation of our natural resources. Tt i
is, moreover, the most economical [
method of sustaining the appearance :
and general upkeep of any community.
A structure coated with sheets of India
rubber would not be as well protected
from decay as a structure coated
with a good oil paint. This is due to
the fact that a sheet of rubber is not
so durable or as waterproof as a thin
dried film of paint. The latter material
when applied dries to a continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot of such a
film upon a wooden surface costs less
than a penny, yet it will beautify and
protect a dollar's worth of surface for ;
many years. This is a low rate of in- i
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds,
posts, fences, stock oncloshres, wagons,
implements, windmills and other structures,
whether of wood, iron or cement, j
should be preserved, through the use
of paint, from rapid decay. High grade j
PL'i-t may be used successfully for all |
such purposes. Colored paints will be
found t>.e most seviceable, the coloring
natter in the paint adding from two
to three years to the life of the coating

EFFECT OF COLOR UPON THE
D JRABILITY OF PAINT I
i
Property owners who may have un i
dor consideration the painting o: j
dwellings and other structures should!
remember that more durable results
are obtained when tinted paints an j
used. Permanent coloring materials j
which have been ground by maehim j
into a high grade white paint bas?!
have the effect of preventing "chalk j
ing" and "checking,"' two defects'
which are often observed when whits!
paints are used.

QUESTIONNAIRE
ANSWERS WHICH WILL SOLVE
PERPLEXING PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.
Query.?The government has launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men tc
work. Would not a similar movement tc
show how the old structures can be bes:
and most economically repaired and mad'
good as new also help?
Answer.?It is learned that such ?
plan is in effect and is linked di recti,
with jhe Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back fron
works of war to the ways of peace
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile, for those whose occupation
has been interrupted. There is i:o
real surplus of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute if normal ouididitions
were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will conic
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program,
June tor many tnonms past reiarueu
or altogether prevented construction,
improvement and repairs. These restrictions
are now oft. and there is
scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention.
Nothing delays such instant action except
1 ho feeling that prices are higl
for the time being and may he lower.
That is not logical. No matter what
it costs to repair, the cost is less than
the cost of neglect. No matter what
the cost of paint, the wind and the
weather will collect a higher bill in
deterioration and decay.
