LET'S MAKE YOUR HOME
New Dean & Barry house paint with PolyLin looks
smoother, looks glossier, looks better longer! And
this means the most beautiful paint job you’ve ever seen, the
most durable paint job your dollars can buy.
Here’s why: Poly-Lin is the 100% pure polymerized linseed
oil that gives Dean & Barry house paint extra smoothness, extra
gloss, extra strength and toughness all the way thi-ough. No
thinned-out places to prematurely weather and wear. No un
sightly brush marks to spoil appearance. Dust and dirt wash
off easily from the smooth, higher gloss finish. Paint jobs look
better, last much longer to save important dollars for you.
No extra cost meaning you benefit, too, because you pay 4
nothing extra for the superior beauty and durability the new i
Poly-Lin blend gives. So why pay more why take less?
