Dear Sir: No man is more interested
in the look and wear Of the paint ON the
houses You plan than you not even the
owner; not even the painter.
And painters sometimes are suspected
of being more concerned for The look
than the wear. What is your opinion?
Which pays best. for painter to have
his paint last three years. or as long as
he can? He can haye it last six years,
il he wants to.
Lead and oil lasts three Devoe Lead
and zinc lasts six. Of course. conditions
effect the time Of both.
Most painters know that zinc toughens
the lead some use it.
Devoe lead and zinc is thorougly
ground in oil; the proportions are right,
and the mixture is thorough.
No painter need mix; he can't afford
to. Hand work can't compete with
machine-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
Yours truly.
IS F. W. DEvoE & Co.
p. S.-Patterson Bros sell our paint
in your section.
