OF Wilmington y, c.

Dear Sir: AS your business is to get
people into and out of trouble. suppose
you consider their paint: it makes 'em
almost as much trouble as money. eX-
cept of course matrimOny.
They buy Door paint a good deal:
they don't mean to; they don't know
any better: they buy without thinking.
Bad paint isn't good. 1t looks good
enough for a e then begins to get
rusty: but changes so slowly. n don't
notice it.
Looking isn't all. The business of
paint is to keep a house dry inside. the
wood and iron of it: keep it from rot
ting and rusting. Takes good pain,
to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price OF about that. One can't go by the
price at all: as with lawyers. the price
has nothing to do with goodness OF
badness and costs are worse vet: the
painter and sheriff comet for theiI
share.
But the probability is that a man
who paints Devoe. will come-out or
top. yours truly.

of running horse racing in his cOun-
