PLYMOUTH, Ind
DEAR SIR: Lead and oil is no long
er the paint to be prosperous with.
AS everybody knows, lead and oil
chalks or powders off in about three
years three years is its limit.
Painters are putting little zinc in
their lead to make it fought lasts a
good three years with a little zinc.
But painters don't like the job of
mixing zinc. It's a tedious job, and,
both being white, nobody knows when
the mixing is thorough. 1t gets half
mixed; and the paint goes on, streak
Of lead and streak of zinc. That is
not good work.
The mistake made is in trying to do
by hand what is better done by ma
chinery. Hand-work can't complete
with machinery-work.
Devoe Ready Paint is your paint.
1t wears twice as long as lead and oil.
This reduces the cost of keeping a
house well painted to half.
Yours truly,
f. w. Dr. yoE & Co.
