Letter to ]. G. Person & Son
indianapolis, Ind.

Dear sirs: Consider one point. IL you
please. in painting your work-a point, on
which the practice of painters is apt to be
wrong-the printing.
The usual practice is to use cheap ochre
for printing. Don't do il. Use the same paint
you are going TO use for the other two coats.
The reason for cheap ochre is: ~ is cheap
a poor reason. The saving is very smail-a
few cents on the side of a house-and the
damage considerable. Cheap ochre is very
poor stuff not 1T Tor foundation paint; not
fit for the bond between paint aud wood.
And printing Is both foundation aud bond.
DevOe Is your paint; the same for all
coats: lead and zinc. best paint In the world.
We have no monopoly OF IL. Others can
make IL; they choose TO make inferior paint.
Lead and oil lasts half as long as Devoe.
This is an absurd condition in the paint
business: but il exists. Devoe is your paint.
Yours truly,
Il. w. DEVOE g. CO.
p. S. Devoe paint is sold by Lilly a stall
maker.
