Letter to t. VI. Emerson.
of Wilmington. n. G.

Dear Sir: If it took 10 gallons tC
paint your house last time with some
body else's paint, and takes S with De
voc, we save you S. or $40; for painting
costs two or three times as much as
paint.
Mr.. Ezra Rathmell. Williamsport. Pa.
always used II gallons of mixed paint
for his house; DevOe took 6.
But that isn't all: that's only first
cost: how long will it wear?
The paint. that goes furthest in cover
ing, wears best too.
All paint, true paint, and full meas
ure, are on one side: part paint, false
paint, and short-measure are on the
other. What a you expect?
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & CO.
P. S.-M. w. Divine & Co., Sell oul

GROWTH OF "THE FAIR"
Executive Ability and Caraftilness in Al
Details Lead to Its Success

Executive Ability and Carefrilness in All
Details Lead to Its Success
Under the above heading the Even
ing Herald, of Fairhaven and What
com, of the 10Th inst, contains upon
its first page "write-upn of mercan-
tile establishment such as seldom APP
pears so prominently in an influential
daily paper in city OF 10000 people.
But the circumstances fully warrant
the compliment which the Herald
pays to "The Fair" The Herald itself
owes much to 'The Fair" which was
the pioneer in extensive advertising in
northwestern Washington and has for
three years been the foremost patron
of the northwestern press. That "The
Fair" has made advertising pay has
been amply demonstrated by the re-
markable growth of its business. From
mere country store" upon a large
scale 1T has become a. great mercantile
institution, occupying the same rela-
tive position to the bay cities that the
Bon Marche does to Seattle. The
Herald says:
"While the last decade has wrought
many changes in Whatcom, nothing is
more pronounced than the amount of
business, and method upon which it is
conducted, now being transacted by
the various mercantile houses in this
city. Probably no business house EN-
phasizes this with greater force than
The Fair Department Store. Four
years ago this store employed in the
height of the holiday season thirteen
clerks, which included delivery man
and cashier. In the face of rapidly in
creasing competition the business has
been developed to more than double
that of any two mercantile houses
north of Seattle. One department
after another has been added and the
convenience of shopping has been stud
led with the result that the people now
find this store a most desirable shop
ping center. The perfect discipline
throughout the store and the absolute
candor and courtesy that greet one on
every hand in measure tell the story
of its success"
