Letter to Mr.. Hooper,


Dear Sir: You sell a good many
things by the gallon. Being a decent
man, you give full measure.
You know what We mean: you know
that short weight and short measure
are common among-well, we hope
there are no short measures and
weights in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and
laces and trimmings, sold by the
'dOZen,' measure nine or ten yards
There is no complaint, because they
all do it. You have the same plague
in your gOOdS-nearly everything, can
ned or bottled cheats in the quantity
Almost nobody gives full weight in a
factorypackage!
We are one or the almost nObOdieS.
We sell paint, by the gallon, to paint
your house: and our gallon is just the
same size as yours that you measure
vinegar with-231 cubic inches.
Good. paint tOo-DevOe Ready
Paint wears twice as long as old
fashion painters paint-lead and OIL
You own house. That's why we
are writing you.
A. III. Kleberg can tell you more
about Devoe Paint.
Yours truly.
