Letter to oughtney Jahgraw.
Montpelier, Vt.

Dear Sir A good many people will
see your house in the course of the
next ten years. We want it to show
what Devoe lead and zinc will do.
We should like you to paint it and
then not paint II again for ten years
unless it needs repainting.
We'd like such sample as that in
every town in the country-with no.
tice about it in the town paper, Mr..
Jangraw's house was painted ten
years ago with lead and zinc and has
never been repainted. The color is
not so bright as it was but the paint
is as perfect coat as ever, to keep
out water.
A good lead and OIL job is expected
to last three years; and it is a good
one that lasts three years; it generally
does not. Devoe lead and zinc lasts
twice as long, if not =
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now i'll putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense.
We want your house as sample
and as witness.
Yours truly,
+. W. Devoe q Co.
p S. Abbott & Bailey sell our
paint. 65

State Fair at Yankton.

The information from Yankton
is to the effect that state fair mate
tiers are being pushed along at the
present time in very good shape, and
it is reported that the Yankton peo-
pie are a unit on making the fair
more OF a success this year than eyer
before. 1t is guaranteed that all pre-
miums this year will be paid in full,
SO that people a make their exhib-
its and be sure Of their money.
Efforts are being made by the state
board to secrue a large exhibit of
farm produce, and features will be
introduced during the week that will
afford plenty of amusement. AS a
downtown side-issue the merchants
OF 4ankton are arranging for some
thing along the carnival line. The
people ought to take hold Of the state
fair and make it a gigantic success
this year. There is no reason why
it can not be done.
