Dear Sir: No man is more interested
in the look and wear Of the paint on
the houses you build than you: not
even the owner: not even the painter
And painters sometimes are sus-
pected of being more concerned for the
look than the wear. What is your
opinion? Which pays best, for paint
err to have his paint last three years,
or as long as he can. He can have it
last six. if he wants to.
Lead and Oil lasts three: DevOe Lead
and Zinc lasts six. OF course, con-
ditions affect the time of both.
Most painters know that zinc
tOughenS the lead; some use it.
Devoc lead and zinc is thoroughly
ground in oil; the proportions are right,
and the mixture is thorough.
No painter need mix: he can t afford
to. Iandwork can't compete with
machinc-work. He runs no risk with
Devoe lead and zinc.
All interests lie in using it: yours
the owners, the painter S-unless he
wants his paint to wear half as long
35 Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co.

The burning Of the home of Mrs
Donovan, last Friday, resulting in the
loss OF everything but the sewing ma
chine. has awakened the hearts of
IIawlcyville people to degree that is
surprising. The ladies sewing society
were just ready to take up some new
work when this occurred. The family
were taken to Mrs Amos IIaWley s,
where the ladies met on Saturday to
prepare clothing for the family.
Large quantities were sent in from all
sides and by Saturday night they were
comfortably provided with necessary
apparel. Quite a good deal of furni-
ture was given which was taken to the
house of Andrew Hull. where the fam
lily are now living. AS everything was
dest royed it can readily be seen how
many things are necessary to make a
home. Every one who is disposed to
give can be assured it will be accept
able and will be d great help to hard
working woman with six children tC
provide for.
