Letter to Robt. Barrett.
YOUNGSTOWN, n. j.


Dear Sir: You take interest in
your work and you want every stroke
Of the brush to do all that it can.
Deyoe Lead and Zinc makes every
stroke of the brush count. Mixed
paint wastes fifteen to eighty per
cent. of every stroke-depends upon
the amount of adulteration in the
mixed paint.
That's what we mean by 'sfewer
gallons" We can't dwell on every
reason for using Devoe Lead and
Zinc. There are too many.
E. R. Bowman, Girard, Pa, writes:
Mr.. Burt Young bought one gallon of
Devoe Lead and Zinc in halves to paint rooms
on which he had always used one gallon of
mixed paint; half gallon of Devoe did the
work and he returned the other half gallon.
Yours truly,
T. W. DEvoE & Co.,
Is New York.
2. S. G. e. Voorhees, and Thatcher
& Pantaenius sell our paints.
