told him that they would be
running ads for students, and
'that they would like him tobe

Hesitant at first, he finally
accepted . and , is now in
business for . himself., and
business has been -booming.
His workload was fine for a

while, but -when the orders
really • got ,heavy, he hacdkto
hire another worker. Now,
when he needs extra help on a
big job, he calls onhis friend
Lewis,.: whom lie had
'asked to work with him.
His job entails scraping,
priming and painting trim
around the house.. H.e has also_ •
painted a :kitchen..` and 'done

most of the `time,, he sticks
with; the brush and scraper..
When he gets called to dolt,

the gel flow paint currently on
the market because of its
ease of :application .and great,
durability; but, ,;he would
