LETTER TO +. II. MOVES CO.,
SOuTH PARIS.

Dear Sirs: Paint is one of the things
that Railroad Companies know all about.
Do you know what ''all about" means?
1t means, in paint, where to get it.
We sell the paint for two-thirds of the
cars and stations and bridges and every
thing else, that railroad men want to
keep good-looking and sound, all over
the country.
A man who wants gallon or two of
paint knows nothing about it; buys
whatever is handy, or gets some painter
TO ''make" it.
A Railroad Company asks its chemist:
(which is the best?"
The cheapest thing, to preserve or
beautify anything with, is paint. So the
whole world is painted; except, of
course, the part of it owned by poor
slow folks.
And the paint they use is peoples in.
telligence-meter: or ignorance-meter
tells how much or how little they know.
Lead and oil has had its day. Devoe
lead and zinc is the paint, because il
wears twice as long.
Yours truly,
