LETTER TO GEO. w. BUELL.
RADrnN WI

Dear Sir: It takes 5000 gallons of paint for
the two big hotels at Coney Island-Man-
haitian and Oriental. They are painted once
in three years with Devoe lead and zinc.
Why $50 often? Three reasons:D sea air
cuts paint; (2) sand in the wind cuts paint
90 hotels, especially pleasure hotels, want
freshness and color as much 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 this?
Yours truly,
% F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P.S 81. G. Pierce sells paint in your
section.
