To The Editor of the Republican.

Dear Sir: We feel a desire to thank you
for telling the people Of Tionesta about
Devoe lead and zine, in comparison with
lead and oil : but are restrained by the
fact that your business is to print the
news, all the news, especially good news.
1t concerns every man that owns a
house; it concerns every painter.
Scarcely one ofyour readers is not coE-
cerned with a paint that saves men, on
the average several dollars a year apiece.
And a painter, whose work lasts twice
as long as the work of other good paint
ers," of course, will get all the business
as soon as the fact is known.
But people won't wait for proof when
we authorize our agents to sell it under
this guarantee:
If you have any fault to find with this
paint either now in putting it on or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about
it.
"Weauthorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
The usual painters saying is that lead
is good ioi three years; Devoe lead and
zinc is good for six years yes, for ten
or fifteen in favorable circumstances, il
you mean turns water"
Yours truly,

were common sight, and in many
places people declare they were ten feet

Iwish to say to the farmers of Forest
county that have taken the agency for
the famous "Chatham Tanning Mill, :"
which is combined grain separator,
grader, timothy seed saver, and tanning
mill. 1t is adapted to separating and
cleaning seeds and grain of all descrip-
tion. 1t has bagging attachment which
does away with the labor of one man. II
has capacity of sixty bushels per hour.
1t is especially adapted TO cleaning and
grading seed grain. II is easy to turn, and
has nothing TO get out OF order. It will
separate wheat from rye. It will take all
cockle and chess out of wheat, and xill
clean all other kinds of grain and seeds
in proportion, and is sold under guar
antee that it will do the work as repre-
sented
Any one desiring mill will do well to
