Every business man knows a dozen ways to save
money by taking short cuts—but the men who
remain in business know that short cuts are
mighty risky. When you figure on painting, don’t
figure the price per gallon. Figure how much
coverage per gallon you get—how much “hiding
power”—how long the job will last.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised
when you figure on Davis of Bal-^
