Letter to James W. Robbins.
Morris Vt

Dear Sir: Consider one point, if you
please, in painting your work
point, on which the practice of paint
ers is apt to be wrong-the printing
The usual practice is to use cheap
ochre for printing. Don't do it. Use
the same paint you are going to use
for the other two coats.
The reason for cheap ochre, is /: it
is cheap-a poor reason. The saving
is very small-a few cents on the side
of a house-and the damage consider
able. Cheap ochre is very poor
stuff; not fit for foundation paint
not fit for the bond between paint
and wood. And printing is both
foundation and bond.
Devoe is your paint the same for
all coats; lead and zinc; best paint
in the world. We have no monopoly
of it. Others can make it; they
choose to make inferior paint. Lead
and oil lasts half as long as Devoe.
This is an absurd condition in the
paint business; but it exists. Devoe
is your paint.
Yours truly,
&C F. W. DEvoE & Co.
p. s. Geo. W. Doty, Morrisville,
and L. M. Jones, Johnson, sell our
