Dear Sirs: There are two sorts of
furniture. You know both for you sell
'em both. One sort looks better than it
is, aud the other is better than it looks.
There isn't any other sort.
The same, two sorts of paint, no more ;
aud we make 'em both-we make tons
of stuff that isn't worth its freight. Be-
longs to the business-you have to.
But this is aside. We put into cans,
with our name on, the very best paint
there is 10 the world: Dsvoe Lead aud
Zinc. 1t takes fewer gallons than mixed
paints, and it wears twice as long as lead
and oil.
@. o. Brown e Bro, Columbia, s.
O., write:
"Mr. c.. o. Brown, employed an ex-
perienced painter to paint hisrhouse with
Devoe Lead aud Zinc. The painter, on
seeing the paint that was sent to the house
said that there was not enough he was
so sure of this that he opened up all ex-
cept one fve-gallon kit. When the job
was done he returned the Aye.gallon kit
and about as much more in open vessels.
Other painters who have been using mix.
ed paints have had the same experience
with Devoo Lead and Zinc"
