The Navy Department has decided to
send the naval yacht Dorothea to the great

Letter to U. A. Hoyt,
Belfast, Ne.

Dear Sir: AS a painter you probably use
lead and oil, and would naturally object to
DevOe lead and zinc. Let us have few
words on the subject
Painters say good lead and oil Job will
last three years, and they say a house ought
to be painted once in three years.
We take them to mean that their work is
good for three years, no more and no less,
or not much more and not much less
Do you want your work to last longer :?
What do you say to six years. You'd have
to have twice as much work, you know; or
you'd be losing money.
Consider the case of your DOCTOR You
call him in. Is it better for him to get your
child out of bed tomorrow, or keep him sick
for month?
You prefer quick doctor. So does every
one else in your town, and county, and State.
We are all alike; we all want our doctors
quick. A doctor, who gets his patients up
quick, is the doctor who gets the patients
gets rich too, if he isn't run to death.
It's about the same with painter isn't it :?
Suppose you paint DevOe, and your COM
petltor objects to Devoe; your work last
six years and his work three. You cost
your customers half he costs double Who'll
get the business; and who'll go to Texas?
DevOe lasts six years exactly-we
know of its lasting seventeen-and it never
wears out in less than three, so far as we
know. On windy sandy seaside house, it
last three years. Lead and oil lasts one year
there.
DevOe lasts two Or three times as long as
LEAD and oil; and it's going to paint your
town. Do you want to be in it?
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.
