The official report of the Mechanics and
Investors Union will be found in another

the secretary says is the best report that
has yet been made and that during the

Dear Sirs: Three gallons saved is $12

Mr.. Hanford Platt of Bridgeport, Conn,
ordered 10 gallons Devoe to paint his
house, and returned 8 gallons. His painter
said it would take 10; a lead and-oil
painter.
Hubbell & Wade Co sold it, They say
everybody has the same experience there.
The reason is of course: they are used
to poor paint.
What is poor paint? Anything not
Devoe; some worse than others.
Besides, paints wear about as they
cover. Double the $12 to SIS.
