mixed by hand ~ with F. W. Devoe

pure linseed oil, pure tiuting colors and
nothing else.
We assure you that there Is promts-
ing future for you II YOU begin now BY
using our Paints. The jobs you do to
day will last years and yesrs-probably
twice as long as II you used LEAD and
Oil mixed by hand. Your reputation
will grow better as these years 60 by.
We assert that our paints are really
better than lead and oil mixed by hand.
The llnseed oil and the lead and zinc
which We use may not be any purer than
that which you use, but our preparing
of them IL more thorough than that done
by hand, for We frst grind the In
gradients together with powerful ma
chinery and then mix them thoroughly
Ia powerful mixers. The paint 10 then
carefully reground 10 stone mills and
