Letter to Col. T. c. Fletcher,
ST JOhnsbury, Vt

Dear Sir You own several houses.
Your reason for painting Devoe Il and
zinc should be several times as strong as
the man who owns but one.
Lead and oil was good enough paint
till the merits Of zinc were louud out 1t
vas prohtabI- to paint lead and oil--.t
was theu-but not now.
The addition OF zinc to lead makes
Deyoe lead and zlc last twice as long
cost no more; costs ess-a trife less. not
much. Lead and OIL is mixed by hand
Devoe lead and zinc by machinery. Might
as we makes ones shifts bv hand as
mix paints. Say it costs 500 a house
to pant lead and oil; and it lasts three
years.
Say it costs the same for Devoe; which
lasts SIX years-it will last ten wears, in
favorable conditions, unless you want to
repalnt to change he color.
The costs: lead and oil about $50 a
year; Deyoe $l5-probaby less.
Yours truly.
F. W. DEvOE & Co.
