Letter to Frank Bevard.

Bennington, VT,
Dear Sir; We hear you're doing a
good business, and we know ALREADY
without you telling us, that you use
good paint and do good work.
We've got a big business too-been
at it l49 making good paint,
best paint in the world, Devoe Lead
and Zinc.
Fewer gallons ana wears longer"
that's the reason in short. It takes
fewer gallons OF Devoe Lead and
Zinc than of mixed paints to cover a
house, and it wears longer than lead
and oil or any mixed paint.
Smith and WILDER, Cambridge
Springs, Pa, write
one Of our painters says Devoe is the best
paint for painter TO use when taking work
by the Job, as il goes further and covers better
than any paint he ever used.
Here's the experience everybody has
with it, The dealer who sells Devoe
gets the bulk of the paint business in
his town. The painter who paints
Devoe gets the painting of his town.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE & co.
New York.
p. S. o. E, Gibson sells our paint.

Nothing Completes with Them,

The best is not only the cheapest but the
best is the only thing that is permanently
satisfactory. This applies to talking ma
chimes with as much force as TO anything
that goes to make up the sum total of daily
life. The new high speed moulded records
made by the Columbia Phonograph Com
pany, pioneers and leaders in the talking
machine art, are far superior to any records
that were ever produced. They have great
volume and are smooth, natural in tone
and artistic No desirable quality is lack
ing and by the moulding process ofrecord
making the harshness and metallic quality
which marred the earlier records is thor
oughly eliminated. No other records can
compete with them. Price soc each, IS

about the new reproducer. The Graph
ophone and Columbia Records were
awarded the Grand Prize at the Paris En-
position Of 1900.

France 1000, 900 ,O00. Year after year
it attacked vineyards, spreading de-
struction wherever it settled. Vine
growers were ruined by tens and
scores every twelvemonth; it seemed
impossible to stamp out the plague.
At last things became so serious that
the vine-growers, urged by the French
government, decided that the war
should be waged on more scientific
lines, and invoked the assistance of
many great scientists.
Millions of dollars were spent in ex-
periments which might show how the
phylloxera could be destroyed and it's
attacks guarded against The money
was well spent, for the tide of war has
turned in Frances favor, and vine-
