Protect Your
Porch Floors
It's strange but true
that some people think
any eld paint will do for
the porch floor.
But it wont! The porch
floor gets much harder
wear than any other sur-
face around the house.
That's why it should be
protected with a paint
that will stand that wear.

pecially for porch floors.
