Letter 10 Edward Reynolds.
Clarksburg, w. vo.

Dear sir-It takes 5000 gallons of
paint for the two;big hotels at Coney
Island-Manhattan and Oriental.
They are painted once in three years
with Deyos lead and zinc.
Why so often 2 Three reasons ~
sea air cuts paint; (2l sand in the wind
cuts paint; 49, hotels, especially pleas
ure hotels, want freshness and color as
much as 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 s. Co.

for several years, and the finances of
the State are at low ebb for the sum-

aneed by Treasurer Carlisle on the

little is to be paid out during the
