Dear Sir: Ira E. Gould is one of the
leading painters of Colebrook, n. H.
Seven years ago he bought four gallons
of our paint from Wesley Wentworth; he
thirned it down with two gallons of oil
and gave his house one coat. 1t covered
so we'll that every painter in Colebrook
declared he had given it two coats. Mr..
Gould is going to paint his house again
this spring. Although there are many
brands OF Paints sold in Colebrook, all of
which he has tried, yet he saws he prefers
ours, and if he can't get it, will have to
use the next best thing, lead and oil. 1t
is just such facts as this that have won
for our paint the reputation of being the
best-covering and longest-wearing paint
made. Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE & Co.
