Farme Did you ever figure up how much it cost you not to keep your BUILDINGS PAINTED? \ Now wait a moment and we will see. Eleven years ago ‘we built our big lumber shed at Butler. We painted all but a few boards on the skylight. These unpaint- ed boards have begun to decay, while those boards that we paint- ed with SEWALL’S PURE LIQUID PAINT IS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF DECAY. In other words these boards that were paint- ed are good for another fifteen or twenty years, while those that were not painted will have to be replaced in a few more years. Easy to figure when you get the facts is it not? Buildings not painted will last about half as long as a build- ing that is painted. Barn boxing will cost you say $2.85 per 100 square feet. Without paint this boxing will last say 15 years—with paint 35 or 40 years. 40 cents worth of paint will paint this 100 square feet of boxing two coats. Now if you would paint boxing three times in the 35 years, you would not only double the life of your building at only a cost of $1.20 which is not quite half what the boxing would cost to re- build and you would have the pleasure of knowing that your building was not an eye-sore to the community. But when you buy your paint be sure it has stood the test of years of service; be sure that there is someone that you know be- hind the guarantee. Sewall’s pure liquid paint has been in use for over 30 years, We guarantee it not to crack, blister or peel off. One gallon of it will cover 300 square feet two coats. And we sell it so you can afford to buy it. It is made in 40 different attractive colors. Call, write or phone us for a color card. Phone No. 18, Butler, Mo. Buy your paint of us and save money.
