Dear Sir You buy your horseshoes
and nails your grandfather, If he was a
blacksmith, made 'em. You can't afford
to hammer them out by hand, when you
can buy as good, or better perhaps, ready.
made to your hand, for little more than
the cost of the iron.
What do you think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that is far
better-done than he can do it, done by
machinery, done as your horseshoes and
nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He Is wasting his chance in the world.
There Is no better stuff to do business
with than good horseshoes and paint; and
no better work than putting them on.
Good horseshoes we'll put on: It's the
putting 'em on that makes you black
smith no matter who makes 'em.
Who wants to go back to old times, and
make his own horseshoes?
Between us two, that painter don't know
how to make good paint-he used to; but
paint has run away from him.
Yours truly,
