A Good Time to Paint
Much painting should be done this spring, whether linseed oil be slighdy lower or slightly higher; for with the 1910 flax crop short it seems unreasonable to expect a return to the oil prices of a few years ago.
./ '
The thing to remember is that, though high, paint
materials are not nearly so expensive as the repairing of a
neglected house. Even oil at $1.00 or $1.25 makes the paint
ing of the average house cost only $4 or $5 more than it used
to cost. -That isn't enough more to justify letting a $10,000
house, or even a $2,000 house, go to ruin. Paint it this spring.
It will cost you less than later.
And use "Dutch Boy Painter" white lead and genuine linseed oil. People are tempted sometimes, when standard materials are high, to employ something inferior. A great mistake, because not true economy.
Moreover, the first cost of genuine "Dutch Boy Painter" white lead paint is not so great as you may have been led to believe. It may surprise you if you do a little figuring for yourself. Get from your local dealer prices on the following ingredients:
12?4 lb*. "Dutch Bor Fainter** white lead H gaJioo Pure iioaeed oil * - H gallon Turpentine H pint Turpentine drier
Tbia nuke* 1 gallon Geauiat old-fashioned paint
Compare this with the cost of any other paint you would think of using. You'll find the best is also the cheapest.
