Letter to w. T. Turner,
MorrIstown N. j.

Dear Sir: If you want your paint
to last as long as that of other house
owners in your town is going to last,
you should use lead and zinc.
You can mix your own, or buy
Devoe 81 Reynolds AS you like. The
results will not be the same, however.
Devoe & Reynolds lead and zinc is
ground in oil and thoroughly mixed.
Machinery does it. Handwork can t
compete with machine-work, either
in cost or thoroughness. Mixing by
hand is Imperfect mixing and zinc is
peculiarly hard to mix; wants grind
ing. Lead and oil is honest paint; but
less durable. Lead is tender and zinc
tough. The proper mixture ground
together is better than either alone.
French painters use zinc alone; but
American painters think it is too
hard and mix it with lead.
5 Yours truly,
4 F. W. Devoe & Q. T. Reynolds.
P S.-George E. Voorhees, and
Thatcher & Pantaneius sell our
paint.
