The original reason for barn paint was because animals tend to chew on barn
and fence woid. It did not have lead and the toxic chemicals regular paint does. And, yes, you will need to paint more often. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...t-1196614-.htm |

Or something like that. Anyhow, the red barns with the big ad were very common. I wonder if this still happens? Can't remember the topic of the ad. I suspect long gone. -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

Maybe Red Man chew, or a feed and seed company. I remember Red Man, maybe because it was my favorite chew. |

I think I've seen Mail Pouch Tobacco, but at least in rural Maryland and Pennsylvania, I don't see wood barns that much. I'm much more likely to take country road than highways, but I only do this once in a while. I did see an old red barn the summer before last with a faded ad on the side of it. |

Rural folk are all lefty liberal political correct-orite commies now and they cover up the tobacco adverts with stupid looking geometric colour patches ... https://www.barnquilttrails.ca/ John T. |
