WHY USE L AND H. 1
' RhAL PAIKT?
Because it's economical. Because
it is pure White Lead Zinc and Lin
seed Oil. Because it's the highest
grade quality paint that can ha
made. Because when the user adds
3 quart of Oil to each 1 gallon of
the -L. arid M. Semi-Mixed Real
Paint, it makes 1 3-4 gallons of pare
paint at a cost of about $1.40 per
gallon. This saves the user about
60 cents a galjon on all the paint
used. The L. and "A. iz and ht.s al
ways been the highest grade and
