HIGH STANDARD

Lowe Brothers Liquid Paint costs approximately 1/2c per square
foot. This is another ` way of saying that "job cost," which should
always be the measure of your painting cost, "High Standard" is
the most economcal paint you can buy.
The reason is to be found in its exceptionally high quality, the
fineness to which it is ground and the purity of materials used.
It gives a very high gloss. Wears evenly
'forears and comes ready for use in thirty
handsome shades, and is veryeasy- to apply.
Try it when next you paint.

Lowe Brothers Neptunite Varn-
ishes -are ideal for either Exterior or
Interior use.
They have the distinction of being the
only varnishes rade that have successfully
withstood the heat from a Hot Iron on
their surface. They will not
turn white, crack under the
hammer test, or show heel
marks. Ice, snow or rain
have no effect on them. They
produce a remarkably .beauti-
ful finish; they wear longer
and cost less than most good

erly applied. It will stand up under
the rigours of the weather and pre-
serve your verandah floor for years..
Like all Lowe Brothers Products,
