Not H ow Much But How Long
It is not the first cost that détermines the expense of keeping a building protected with paint, but the first cost plus the cost of renewal in a given term of years. If you must repaint five times with one paint against three times with another paint, the latter is the cheaper, no matter what the initial cost. OXIDE OF ZINC in paint lengthens the intervals between renewals; consequently paints based on OXIDE OF ZINC are not only better, but cheaper thän other paints. Our pamphlet, “Paint: ,Why, How and When” (free to property owners), explains the matter.
