BAER. a ^xLlU TOUCH IN TIME1 with the paint brush is like that "stitch in time" that "saves nine." Paint is a labor-saver in the home. A glossy, painted surface discourages dust. But the labor of painting i9 lost if you use the wrong paint. Different surfaces call for different coverings. House­ wives don t put rag carpet' on the parlor floor nor velvet carpet in the kitchen*. They wouldn't suit. Paint making has progressed more than carpet making. There's a special paint for every kind of painting. l<ooks best, wears best.
