TALKS ABOUT PAINT

ON MIXED PAINT

te i ... \ i .n’ .iii tiling In a bucket
is paint nail price is the first eon
sid itition He thinks all are much
alike and seeks the cheapest thing
k* ian buy. bitten the formula
which the state law compels is no t
much of a guide because hr doesn't
know materials and names are given
that, while they comply with the law,
wean little to hint Hydro-carbon oil
wad silica sounds well but they mean
ke.rosine and Harytes.
The Dakota state commission
threw some light on the subject.
This commission made extensive an
alysis and experiments that created
great consternation among the
paint makers.
They, the commissioners, showed
plainly that labels and advertising
claims were not dependable and that
many of the mixed paints were un
mixed frauds.
In summing up their showings we
find that nearly all the ready mixed
paints sold in the regular way
through local dealers are fairly good
paints. That those sold direct to
the consumer through advertising
and those sold to scrub painters as
“agents” are pretty bad, and those
sold by the mail order bouses are
worse. -They found one paint from
a mail order house, Rears, Roebuck
& Co. that contained TWENTY
FOI'll I’ER CENT OF WATER. That
wasn't paint. It was white wash.
This should make mail order buy
ers lliink but 1 do not suppose it. will.
When these catalogue consumers buy
anything of a local dealer that is
not "up to taw" they howl their
heads off but if they get it of a cat
alogue house they keep still anil
bite again.
Those conclusions from the Dako
ta investigators might have been
predicted because the local dealers
being permanent and dependent on
his community for his bread and but
ter can not afford to sell a cheap
paint, except AS a cheap paint. He
may keep several grades hut he
must he careful which one ho rec
ommends On the other hand the
advertisers and the catologue men
care nothing for results. The one
sale is all they work for. The fu
ture doesn't “cut any ice." They
tempt the buyer by their price and
make the goods to fit tile price and
it Is usually a misfit in their favor.
Tite man who buys this class of
goods an rits no sympathy. The
price i sui'.i at >>"irni.5g that ha is
going to get stung." If lie wants
a cheap paint let him buy it of the
local dealer. 11 will be a cheap
paint but. will be better than the mail
order man will give him.
Mixed paints arc handy and some
of them are pretty good. Of course
none of them are as good as they
claim io be and none of them are
cheap. Nearly all manufacturers wil
claim that their brand is better than
lead and oil. That it w ill cover mor
surface and last longer than lead
and oil, and the dealer, who isn't
usually much of u paint expert, Is
ma |e to believe these statements
and repiats them to his customers.
These claims are both false. There
is no better paint than linseed oil
11• ! white lead. There is no paint
ina lij that w ill last longer than lead
and nil, tli*' conditions being the
same There is no paint made that
will cover more surface than lead and
oil, nor as much by fifteen per cent.
A man can get a good job with mixed
paint if lie will not run after the
cheapest tiling in a bucket that he
can buy but lie cannot get a better
job and lie can not get as cheap a
job as lie inn with lend and oil. I
am not talking about contract work.
I ain not talking about the man who
is too lazy or too indifferent to
buy his niut< rials and see that the
Job is properly done, I am talking
about the relative value of the mater
ials in good hands.
There are bud jobs done with
lead and oil but it is not because of
the lead and oil but because they
weren’t. It is a tricky painter
or an ignorant painter who spoils a
lead and oil job. Comparison must
be on an even basis and whenever
that kind of comparison is made mix
ed paint suffers by it.
What about economy? The cost?
It is easy to figure it out. Here is
a formula for an average outside
white paint that will compare favor
ably with any mixed paint on the
market:
100 lbs pure white lead.. .. $8.50
5 gal. pure raw linseed oil.. 5.75
>•> gal. turpentine.50
1 pint drier.25
Total cost of S'., gal.. .. $15.00
Allowing 10c for can this paint
will cost $l.s7 per gallon. Now the
best mixed paint will cost, when the
old stocks are t xliaiisted, from $2.20
to $2.25 per gallon. The best mixed
paint will cover about 300 square ft.
of surface two coats but the lead and!
oil paint as given above will cover
about 350 square feet under the same
conditions. It is worth some- j
thing to the amateur painter to have
Iiis paint ready mixed and for small
quantities lie ran afford to pay the
difference.
As for the cheaper grades of mixed
paints, I will say this for them, they
are better value than the high grade's
That is not saying they are better
paints. They are not, but they are
better for the price. A cheap mix
ed paint sold by the retailer to the
consumer must be passably good to
prevent trouble between them and to
make a passably good paint cheap
the manufacturer and the dealer
must both cut their profits.
Colors in mixed paints are better
than whites because it costs more to
make whites and it is on the colors
flint the manufacturer makes his
profits. Whites are not very reliable
in cheap mixed paint.
There is little more to say about
mixed paints, if you cannot buy
them under $2.00 per gallon they are
not economical hut that makes little
difference if your job is small. They
are very convenient, and they have
their place.
Ham paints are of a different class.
They contain no lead, or at least
not enough to run the cost up. It
is a little cheaper to buy the ma
terial and mix it. but. the difference
is not as much as in the case of
house paints.
Next week I will take up paint
troubles and show why paint fails
and disappoints the property owner.

Unlucky Luck Experts.
At a certain business office the
other day a gentleman called who
was somewhat known to the head of
the conceern. He explained that he
was lying by that day, being the
thirteenth, because he had an under-'
taking of some importance in view ,
and he could never feed easy about
beginning an undertaking on the thir
teenth. He then borrowed five dol- ^
lars to tide him over the day.
We have known a number of persoi
who would not begin a journey jm
Friday or the thirteenth of the i
month, or look at the new moon over j
the left shoulder, or, if it could be 1
avoided, permit the number twenty-1
three to figure in their affairs, be- '
cause those things are unlucky; but
we have never yet known such a per-1
I
son who had any luck anyway.
Of course, there’s a reason. The 1
sort of mind that takes thirteen seri
ously is not the sort that is very
likely to grapple effectually with any
problem more complicated than get
ting indoors when it rains. —Satur
