ARCO ALKYD HOUSE PAINT...
Test panels of Arco Alkyd House Paint and others were weathered outside for four months . . . then attached to a test house for another four months. Inside a 75 degree temperature and a 70% relative humidity were maintained at all times. Arco proved most resistant to blistering. It was also demonstrated that Arco had the best adhesion characteristics.
Why not use Arco Alkyd on your next house? It
flows on easily, dries fast ... is ready for recoating in only four hours. Its beautiful fade resistant colors defy wind, rain and snow keep that fresh new look for years.
TESTED FIRST FOUST!

DIED: Builder Donald Lewis Metz, 37,
part-owner of Aldon Construction Co. of Los Angeles, May 29, in a Ventura, Calif, motel room he had apparently rented solely to take his own life.
Metz, whose firm ranked as the eighth largest in the nation last year in House &
Home's annual survey, left eight sealed envelopes, each bearing the name of a relative, friend or business associate. A ninth note, unsealed, read in part:
"This is a suicide. This is strictly a personal matter. . . ." His body was surrounded by several open medicine bottles, pills, capsules and sleeping powders.
Associates said Metz a nervous and high strung millionaire had lost some 47 pounds in the last six months on doctor's orders, and appeared on the verge of nervous exhaustion.
Metz' company has built some 26,000 homes in the 11 years since it was founded. Last year, it reported 2,093 starts. Surviving Aldon partners are Ira Oberndorfer and William Woodrow.
