Mr.. G. w. Sprinkle,

Owosso, Mich.
Dear Sir: The cheap paint to buy is
the one that covers more than you
think; the cheap one to wear is the one
that is young when old.
Mrs. Moore, of Kelsey, N. Y, bought
16 gallons Devoe to paint her house two
coats; her painters said it would take
that. Had gallons left.
Mr.. James Ackley's house, in Cairo
(Catskill Mountains) N. Y, was paint
ed Devoe; it wore IA years; and the
paint was in good condition then. He
was going to paint, the last we knew,
though. That's the way to preserve a
house; repaint when there's no occasion.
Yours truly,
