Description

The slogan "Save the Surface and Save All," which is seen in the center of this sign, was part of a marketing campaign launched by the Paint Manufacturers' Association in 1919. The campaign sought to increase the sales of paint and related supplies by persuading the public that painting one's home would prevent deterioration and decay. Many paint and varnish companies participated in this marketing campaign throughout the 1920s.
