Why then buy an inferior Paint just because it costs a few cents per gallon less than a well known first-class brand? That is folly, for a cheap paint is made of poor material and seldom la$ts more than a year or two, whereas a good one should wear for five years at least. Our Crowrv Cottage Colors will not chalk peel or scale and in covering capacity and durability is superior, to the majority of Paints made including White Lead and Oil. Considering these facts, why not buy the best and save money. I carry Enarnsl Colors, Varnish Stains, Porch and Step Paint, Floor Paint, Wagon and Buggy Paint, Fillers, Varnishes.
