LETTER TO WALTER 1. GRAY, SOUTH
PARIS.
Dear Sir: 1t takes 5000 gallons of paint
for the two big hotels at COney Island
Manhattan and Oriental. They are
painted once in three years with Devoe
lead and zinc.
Why so often9 T1fee reasons: (l) sea
air cuts paint; (2) sand in the wind cuts
paint; (3) hotels, especially pleasure
hotels, want freshness and color as much
as protection. Once in three years Is
often enough and not too often to paint
hotel on windy sand beach.
How long do you think lead and oil
would last there? One year. Is there
anything for you in thisP
Yours truly,
20 F. w. DEvoE & Co.
