Letter to Mr.. w. L. Bond
Monroe CITY, Mo.

Dear Sir: When you build a
house you want a good paint
next the wood-it goes a long
way in taking care OF the wood.
The paint has the best chance
TO be useful is this first coat:
first two coats: first three coats.
The first takes care of the wood ;
the second takes care of the
first; the third takes care of the
Two All three become one; and
that one is to last forever.
Forever" means as long as the
house lasts. The way to make
the first painting last, as long
as the house, is to follow it up
with repaintirg often enough.
How often? Depends on the
paint. Repaint while the paint
is still water proof. All the
wear is outside; there is no
wear on the under paint. This
is how the first painting lasts
forever; by keeping::it covered:
keeping it sound. And this is
the cheapest way to take care
of a house. But how often to
paint depends on your paint.
If you paint lead and oil, paint
again in three years or less; if
Devoe Ready Paint, paint again
in three years or more.
That LESS" and more" are
about asDone to two. Devoe
Ready PANT takes care o.
house at half cost, because it
lasts twice as long as lead and
oil.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvoE 81 Co.
