CAREFUL PAINTING
By C. C. CONGER, JR.. t
In The Progressive Farmer
During the ast 30 years I have
painted and helped to paint many j.
farm buildings. Of recent years I have c
had no trouble in getting a good job,
something I could not do in the begin
ning of my painting career. I was too c
lareless about selecting paint and
brushes, too careless about the kind ?
if surface I applied it to, and too
careless about applying it. There is d
no earthly reason why any farmer t
;annot do a good job of painting if he F
inly observes three or four very essential
things?
1. Use good paint, and to be sure
if getting it buy only a standard proiuct
that is known the world over. (2.
The surface to receive paint
must be both clean and dry. This is
rery essential. If old paint is leaving
:he surface or scaling remove it with
i wire brush made for the business. ^
3. Don't be afraid to invest a few
lolars in a good brush. A good three
nch brush will cost around $2.50 or
.... ri
mis is a popular size for farm
luildings. A brush of this quality la q
he best investment a painter can
nake.
4. Don't be afraid of getting your
irush full of paint. Uneven jobs of
ipreading paint can nearly always ^
>e traced to dipping the brush into
laint too lightly. C
5. Don't be stingy with elbow
;rease and plenty of it. Rub paint in
veil. You not only get better contact ?
tut equal distribution as well, which "
illminates the unsightly streaks so si
:ommon in bad jobs of painting. lE
The blacksmith will not attempt a 8'
ob of welding till he has conditions tc
ust right. We can all get some good
deas about painting by studying his
imple plans. <
THE BREAD TRU8T
(From the Baltimore Sun) *
The promptness wfith which (thief
iroposed baking combine acceded to s
he government's demand that it dls- n
olve will be taken as further proof ^
hat there was little to be said Tor it C
rom the standpoint of the consumer.
It is understandable that a merger {
f two or more bakeries in a single n
ity might bring about economy in r
istribution and some other savings. K
Jut a trust or holding company con- *
railing bakeries in a half dozen staes
id not hold hut promise of either f
Teater effiuiency or of particular
conomies.
There did not seem much reason ?
S fear that a_ hreait *? ?=? 1J ? "
? ?? v.uot wuiu ei* "
loit the public. Nothing so quickly al
rouses protest as Increase In the ^
rice of bread and effort to impose
pon Customers is invariably followed
y demand for investigation. The base w
t objection to the merger was that
failed to show how the public w
ould be beniflted.
