Paint* ing i9 no exception to other things. The art has not stood still. You can still buy some white lead (are you a judge of it?) and some oil (are you a judge of that?) and find a neighborly painter and have some paint made; but as sure as yon are alive there is a bet­ ter way. Are you awake to the fact that you can get a paint that is made for the particular work you want done, of tlw best materials combined in tile best proportion. mixed in the best way; and that will do more than any other paint will do?
