LETTER TOR. ii. BEERS & CO.,,
VIEWPOINT,

NEWTOWN.
 Dear Sir: No man has more need of a quick and open mind for good new things than hardware man. The whole town looks to him for advice to buy this, and not to buy that, among tools aud 100 contrivances. It's his business to know what is good, to find out quick what is better, to drop the good, and sell his neighbors the better. Our paint is not new~we are our selves 145 years old-it is new to some. Read what we guarantee:
 "If you have any fault to find with this either now in putting it on or afterward in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
 "We authorize him to do what is right at our expenSe.'' This is our short way of saying the paint is good. It is better than good: it is best: the only good paint.
 Old-fashioned painters paint, lead and oil, is not good any longer-wears out in three years. Ours lasts six years, seven years, eight years, ten years, tifteen-in favorable conditions. Devoe lead and zinc is the paint.
 Yours Truly, 58 F. w. Devoe & Go.
