Dear Sir: Most mixed paints are either
aduterated or short measure. Devoe
Lead and Zinc is neither, so it cannot be
cassed with mixed paints. That's why
it takes fewer gallons of Devoe to paint
a house than it does of mixed paint,
and it lasts longer for the same reason.
Ferguson A. Thompsons store, Delhi,
n. Y, was painted some years ago with
thirty-two gallons of mixed paint.
