MARKET'S CONVERSION ' /,-' r o. b. nan r* All the ladies in the Sewing Circle, all the same ladies in the Ladies' Aid and the .younger among the same ladies in the Girls' Friendly, had arrived at an unusual unanimity of opinion regarding the church fence - Mrs. Stubbs, the wife of the chief con tributing deacon, voiced the common sentiment when she declared in the week ly meeting of the Foreign Mission So ciety that the church fence needed paint ing. " And 1 for one," die added, " ain't going to stand another coat of white wash ; ray new black silk is almost ruined where I brushed it against the gate last fall, and whitewash looks kind of cheap and skimpv for a place of worship, even if it is onfv the fence; and it's all gone lead, linseed oil and japan drier. He recommended white as the main color for the fence and for the trimmings a rich seal brown. The committee ordered the paint and Marldy the painter mixed it for them; but when they pot that far they found their funds exhausted, and at a full meet ing decided to borrow Mailcly's brushes and do the work themselves. Markly was not impressed with the wisdom of this plan, but finally consented in disgust--he had his profit on the pant anyway--and lent the ladies ten of his oldest and most disreputable brushes. On the morning appointed, ten deter mined looking women, arrayed in their oldest clothes, resolutely attacked the job. Markly the painter, notwithstanding now anyway." his business engagements, found time to The younger Mrs. Dean, the grocer's wife, put her finger upon the sore spot when she interjected abstractedly: "The new paint. on the Presbyterian fence sit on the hitching-block most of the day and scornfully note the proceedings, throwing in now and then an off-band criticism. looks real stylish." The day was warm, the work pro "Of course," continued Mrs. Stubbs, after a glance at Mrs. Dean, " we don't need to imitate anybody, but I reckon if the Presbyterians can afford decent paint we can." ceeded raggedly, and before noon two of the volunteer laborers bad quit in high dudgeon, while three of the younger ones ruefully regarded blistered palms. There were three absentees when work The upshot of it was that a commit tee of the whole was organized then and there to have the church fence painted; but it was no easier for the ladies to raise the necessary funds than to agree was resumed in the afternoon. The job, however, got itself completed at last, un der the eyes of half the town,' and five aching, draggled and ill-tempered ladies finally left the debris and wreckage for Inter on the coin: to be selected. Busi Markly to clean up. But the heart-burn ness had been poor that year and crops ings and resentments left by the fence- in the neighborhood had failed; so it punting episode threatened for a time to was difficult to enthuse the men of the disrupt the congregation. . congregation on behalf of the church The church fence bring painted, how fence. But die ladies finally raised ever, it was soon seen that tile church it enough money among themselves to pay self looked discreditable by contrast, and for the paint, and being unable to go any before snow flew, a fillip was given to the further, called upon Mzrkly, the painter general dissatisfaction by the wholly un --a member of the church---to act as um necessary and unbrotherly action of the pire, and incidentally to contribute his Presbyterians in having their own labor in the good cause. church repainted. .

In fact several of those it for them without charge--pure white who had persevered to the end still car- ifc fcV -i,s -yi r'W, |l --i ||L|| . 0007-SWP-043036 January Black Diamond Express 27 lied lame wrists, which the doctor's wife, who naturally knew more about such things than the rest, diagnosed as " wrist drop " from lead poisoning. When another summer came, never theless, it was manifest even to the casual passer that the church was in need of paint, and when Mrs. Stubbs by finally ruining the damaged Mack silk proved that the white lead on the fence was al ready chalking, the cup of bitterness was full. The condition of the church, and be fore long of the church fence, became the table-talk staple among the ladies of the congregation, and the impossible came to pass--meat time became distaste ful to the masculine element. Things were at this pass when the hardware dealer, Smith, took the agency for a well commended brand of readymixed paint, Markly the painter, though he had never tried a mixed paint and really knew nothing about the sub ject, was very severe in his condemna tion of such products; and to a great ex tent what Markly the painter said about paint " went" in that .town. But Smith, the hardware dealer, was a pusher and could see an opening as quickly as the next man. In the sore subject of the paint-hungry church he saw his opening and seized it. Smith was Presbyterian, but in business was brother to every man. be he of Rome or Islam. The inspiration came to him one day when Mrs. Stubbs, having dropped into his store for a paper of carpet tacks, stopped to admire the neat cans of paint on the shelves, the variegated glossy sample data, dangling conspicuous, and the tempting color cards heaped on the counter. Pointing to slat number thirtyeight, she sighed." That paint would look real tastv on the church, don't you think, Mr. Smith ? " " Indeed it would. Mrs. Stubbs." said Smith the guileful," an' it's cheap as dirt, too. an' as good as they make--only a dollar an' a half a gallon. Why for fif teen dollars I could sell you enough paint your church, an' enough left over to tech up the fence." Then the inspiration came--an idea which, if successful, would silence Martdy and advertise the paint for an outlay--Smith calculated swiftly--an actual outlay of not over ten dollars. " Madam," he continued very blandly, "I'll make you an offer, just between ourselves you know, an' if you don't take to it no harm done and nobody the wiser: If you'll get Markly to put on the paint I'll donate --'donate' seemed to sound more impressive than * give --I'll donate the paint." " Oh, Mr. Smith, that's what I call a Christian spirit 1 " declared Mrs. Stubbs, and forthwith she hurried away to spread . the good news. The upshot of the matter was that the wounds left by the fence-painting epi sode were healed, and it was a united and harmonious body of sisters that in a few days bore dawn on Markly die painter. But Markly was obstinate. "I don't want to be disobligin', ladies; but I've said I'd never tech the peskv stuff, an' I won't" Mailcly, however, as the event proved, reckoned -without the resourceful Smith. It chanced that Markly was chronically in debt to Smith for " lead, oil and sun dries," whereas outside of Smith's books the credit of Markly was non-existent, and Smith was not'the man to let slip the opportunity to make good his infor mation. Markly came from his confer ence with Smith filled with doubt as to the violainlity of the pledge which he had quoted to the ladies. In the end Markly not only applied the ready mixed paint to the church and the fence, but he did it without cost to the congregation, and before the job was completed had begun to doubt his pre conceived judgment regarding the " pesky stuff," and when, after the lapse of five years the appearance of the work remained a standing advertisement to all passers of the skill of Markly, the painter had become a convert to the "ready made." To-day that town is down on the books of traveling paint salesmen as a " readymixed town--no use stopping there," and it alt grew out of the furore over the church fence. 0007--SWP-043038 piiiSlw fi,Co.

We are ;entirely satisfied with the volume of business with which wc have been favored. The amount of business enjoyed by us during the spring and, summer seasons considerably exceeded our anriei- : palion. We quite naturally attribute this largely j . to good times, but there is no doubt m my mind * but what the educational campaign of the Paint Manufacturers* Association has aided materially in cstablislung more firmlv confidence and an added appreciation of the desirability and great convenience of properly manufactured mixed paints. * SAMUEU-M.1 - .';RETOftNINC;irO DETOOIT . wwujiiidSf* color i Works, optimistic yscardln* the' out look for 1X0. hoo oajpsiod lemuoi K. . ; Bell os superlhtandant ot-tj&a paint and We regret that trade conditions seem to ,bc such that the manufacturer to-day who is making a thoroughly reliable, high-grade and satisfactory article of maxed paint has not been able to secure a proper price for the goods. For a number of years the cost of raw materials entering- into the composi^hn of this product has been steadily advancing, 'J also has the cost of labor and operating expenses. It appears to us inevitable that the price of this product must advance in line with other commodities, the majority of which are held at considerably higher figures than they were a few years ago, owing to the same causes which have bee* and are still affecting $c paint industry.
