World of Mirth from Ed Tracy
Ready to pull out of town. Orange was either the favorite color or the cheapest color. Was this some of the military surplus paint like the Cole Bros. Circus used?
It was called "Red Lead" in those days, even though it was orange. My Dad got some after the war and painted all his tool boxes in his plumbing co shop with it.
