Dear Sir: As your business is To get

you CONSIDER their paint; il makes 'em
| almost as much trouble AS money, ex-
cept OF ccursr matrimony.
They buy poor paint good deal; they
don't mean to; they don't know any
better; they buy without thinking. Had
paint isn't good. II looks good enough
| for a year; then begins TO get rusty; but
changes so slowly, one doesn' { notice H..
Looking isn't all. The business OF
paint is TO keep house dry inside, the
wood and iron of it; keep il from rotting
and rustlng. Takes good paint to do IL.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go by
the price at all; as with lawyers, the
price has nothing 10 do with goodness
or badness; and Costs are worse yet; the
painter aud sheriff come-in for their
share.
But the probability is that q man.
who uses Devoe will come out on top.
Yours truly
