At Home
The Almanac of little things to
be done has many Interesting
eniries. To every home lover as
well as every home owner there Is
a fascination, absorbing and time
obliterating in transforming Just
plain articles of use into things of
beauty and delight.
Perhaps it is a refrigerator be¬
ginning to warp and look shabby,
spoiling the appearance of an other¬
wise immaculate kitchen or pantry
- built-in furniture showing the
effect of wear and tear, radiators
that need something more effective
than elbow grease to brighten
them, window sills that are grimy
snd weather worn.
There is really no excuse for
shabbiness any more, since modern
industry and ingenuity has pro¬
duced a remedy and also a pre¬
ventative in up-to-date methods of
mixing the greatest of all preserva¬
tives, paint. No experimenting la
necessary, since there is a specially
]repared paint for every purpose,
so well adapted 4p its special use
t hat any amateur can apply It
successfully.
The Lampton, Crane & Ramey
Co. has adopted as its slogan "A
Lampton Paint for any Paint
Purpose.” These various produots
are so carefully prepared, that one
ran hardly go wrong when using
them. All ready mixed and ready
for the brush, they are equally
desirable for both professional and
amateur painter.

Keeping Up
Appearance
By A Home Owner
We all know how hard it is
sometimes to keep a stiff upper
lip—dress well on a small income,
borrow money to pay the Income
tax, but somehow we do It—
fiumbllng the while, but the most
depressing thing of all is when the
Spring Sun shines to come home to
a House sadly in need of paint. If
legislature would only pass a
“Paint and Property Preserve" act
with a penalty attached, we’d
grumble but we’d paint, even if we
had to paint the green out of last
year's suit, and sand paper the seat
of our pants. As it is we grumble
but don’t paint.
What we should do, is to paint
and not grumble especially when
there’s a “Paint Product of Every
Paint Purpose" — which is the
slogan of the famous paint factory
of the Lampton, Crane & Ramey
Company.
It frequently happens that things
done from a purely self interested
standpoint have far reaching re¬
sults that bear the stamp of
altruism.
Tliis is true of the “Save the
Surface” campaign conducted by -
the Paint and Varnish Trades.
The practical information dissem¬
inated generally, and gratis Is
almost invaluable to property own¬
ers.
For instance, from the outside in
decay begins, whether of metal or
of wood. Unprotected wood offers
hospitality to the worm that slowly
but surely destroys. Unprotected
metal accumulates rust and the
mischief begins. We blame it on
the elements, the sun, the snow
and rain. All the damage the
elements do is in removing the
protective covering of paint, clear¬
ing off the paint and exposing the
surface. The quality of the paint
is of the utmost importance—good
paint covers well and endures lots
of weather buffeting.
Outside and inside a well painted
house testifies to its perfect state
of preservation—painted wood can¬
not rot. Keeping up appearance
pays especially when it applies to
building or equipment that must
stand the wear and tear of varying
weather.
That Spring urge to paint is more
than the pride of good appearance,
it is the very instinct of property
preservation. It Is insurance
against property depreciation. Out¬
side and inside, a well painted
house testifies to a perfect state of
preservation, and keeping up ap¬
pearance pays a good profit in

VALUE OF BUSI¬

A thought which
every ambitious young
is the UP'S and DOWN’S
life. Someof us have more
than DOWS'S, and some re¬
verse it, but after all, luck or
chance iiave little to do with
ones success- It depends on the
start you get and how well you
hold out in the race for
goal in the business world,
high school graduate is no
a stenographer or
than a grammar school graduate
therefore, you should not be
to believe that when you have
completed a high school
tion you are ready to take a
sition in a business office—You
have merely completed
foundation, which in most
requires from ten to twelve
years in school. Now, by spend¬
ing a few montha, and a small
sum of money in a good
ness college you are thorough¬
ly prepared to hold a
position. Don't leave your
pensive, hard-earned four.da
tion without finishing the job.
It is the ambition of
red-blooded American to fill an
important pla*e in his commun¬
ity, his county, his state,
his country,and it is his
al duty to equip himself with
a practical education, as with
out it he can have little hope
reaching the height of his am¬
bitions.
After all is said, it is not the
years you have spent in schools
and colleges, nor the various
courses you have had, but its,
the things you know how to do,
and how well you can do it that
measures your education. A
business education is practical
and valuable to any man or
woman, regardless of the vo¬
cation he expects to follow.

FINANCING PAINT CONTRACTS
By E. V. Peters
President, National Paint, Oil &
Varnish Association
/"Y NE of the most progressive
moves made in the current
history of painting is that ol
making it pos ie for every home
owner to have his house painted
at the necessary time and pay for
it in small monthly installments.
This has just been accomplished
through the medium of large
national financing corporations.
Behind this movement have been
men of vision, who for years past
have recognized the public’s need,
particularly the need of the man
receiving a small salary, and have
hoped to solve the problem in such
a way as to enable him to keep up
appearances and at the same time
protect his property against de-
terioration by keeping it always
well painted.
The plan which has finally evol¬
ved from many years of experi¬
menting is that of having the home
or property painted at once and
paying for it a little at a time un¬
til the full amount is paid. This
partial payment plan has been in
operation for many years
other and much simpler lines,
never before has it been app’ied
printing homes.
For many years, small
people have been able to
homes and furnish them on the
tial payment plan. They have
able to equip them electrically
to install eras heaters and
gas and electrical equipment
making easy payments.
For a year or more, certain
terprising companies have been
permenting in the hope of
ing the deferred payment p’an
jibe painting of homes, so that
j
;
E. V. Peters
has actually been in opevation
over a year with results that
to speed it on its way, toward
standard and universal thing it
just become.
The perfecting of the partial
ment plan makes it possible for
ery man or woman who owns
home to have it well painted
often as it needs it and pay for
work on easy terms. It is an
vantage to a man in both his
ness and social life to have a
j kept home, spic and span with
i covering of paint. It is an
tion of high morale and good
. zenship. His home adds to
beauty of his community and in¬
creases the respect of his neighbors.
When one stops to consider the
fact that more than a billion and a
half dollars worth of standing
property is destroyed in this coun¬
try every year by rot and rust and
that insurance cannot be bought to
cover this type of loss and deprecia¬
tion, and that paint and varnish are
the only known agents that will
check the waste, the tremendous
value of the new partial payment
plan becomes immediately apparent
to every home owner.
The steps in having a painting
job done by the partial payment
plan are simple. Either the home
owner seeks a painter which he may
do by applying for information at
a paint store, or the painter wish¬
ing a job finds a home owner whose
house needs painting. The painter
submits an estimate of the cost to
the home owner, who, in turn, pro¬
viding the price is saitsfactory, sign. 4
a contract in which he agrees to
make a cash payment of one-fifth
of the cost to the painter, and the
balance to the finance company in
not more than ten equal monthly
installments.
When the work is finished, the
painter mails the bill made out in
the name of the owner to the financ¬
ing company. This bill shows the
total amount of the contract, the
cash payment and the balance due.
The finance company, in turn, mails
this hi 1 ! to the owner for approval. bill
On receipt of the approved
from the owner, the financing com¬
pany pays the painter the entire
amount still due after making a re¬
duction to cover the charge for ser¬
vice to painter and the interest,
while the home owner, himself, suit
has ten months in which to finish
paying for the painting of his hom*.
