Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient Egyptian obelisk, had to be painted to protect it from the American air. Acme Quality will protect your home as (someone's) paint protects the Needle. Colorful vignettes show kinds of painting, and something called "Paint and Varnish" says, "Save the surface, and you save all." Published in the March, 1920 issue of the PEOPLE'S HOME JOURNAL.
