Letter to A. E. Hutchings,
Belfast, Maine,


town: hard place for paint. About seven
teen years ago, Farrand, Spear & Co., Rock
land, began with Devoe Their first sale
was to paint the harrington residence, well
known there.
Mr.. Farrand says the house appears,
from the street, to be well painted now, and
has never been repainted.
We should like to know more definitely
about job of paint that has lasted seven
teen years on seaside house. 1t is the
longest time we have had a report on.
Lead and oil lasts three years-a first-rate
job-and nobody says it lasts longer. We
are content to say that Devoe lead and zinc
lasts twice as long: Tut we know of houses
innumerable, on which our paint has ex-
ceeded six years.
Yours truly,
