LETTER TO w. A. LEONARD,
 VIEWPOINT.

Dear Sir: Your business is, when , house burns down, to give the owne some money to build new one. It is , good business. Queer that the world got on so long without it.
 We paint the one that burnt down and the new one too. What is better, Vt paint the houses that don't burn down
 You insure the houses that burn: we insure the houses that don't. You have the ashes and smoke; all the houses a, ours.
 We paint lead and zinc: Devoe. We sell the paint to painters; we don't paint.
 Lead and oil is the old fashioned paint, Devoe is zinc ground in with the lead and linseed oil-same proportions as used by U. s. Government: the best paint in the world: and the cheapest, because the work is all done by machinery.
 Nobody wants poor paint; there's lots of it, though, in the world. Yours truly. F. w. Devoe.
