Dear Sir: You are an artist. what
do you know about paint?
White lead is 1000 years old. and zinc
about so. The Greeks knew white
lead.
Lead and oil is old fashion paint and
zinc is baby comparatively. But zinc,
II properly ground with lead. prolongs
the life Of the paint from about three
years at the most to six.
Do you know that? 1t isn't your
business 70 know It: but you are an
artist. The sun, that paints for you.
destroys lead and oil. but scarcely
affects Devoe.
Devoe is the paint that lasts six
years; yes, two or three times six years
under favorable conditions.

portion to his invested capital as the
city man. This is being changed, and
from a petty trader at the country
store for the bare necessities, he has
become royal spender BY following
business methods he has increased his
income and advanced his standard of
living, until today he demands every
luxury and convenience enjoyed by the
city man. Catalogue houses have
made necessary to him articles he woull
never have known existed had he de-
pended upon the cross roads store.

the country merchant with a well Sc
lected and well kept stock of up-to-
date goods is thankful to the city man
who by the aid of daily papers and
easy communication has developed a
heretofore unsupported trade right at
his door.
At first some of the country papers
objected to the R. F. D., claiming it
was designed by the large dailies with
the object of driving out the small
weeklies. 1t has just the opposite ef-
feet, as cases are known where farm
ers who never took a paper in their
lives started with some household COM
panion in order to secure premiums Of
fered, and are now subscribe RS to every
paper published in their county. It
was simply matter of education.
Outside papers with inducements
started the farmer reading and as re-
suit the habit is formed and he com-
mences to banker after local news.
Rapid communication is revolution
izing the country and the end is not in
sight, but local business is bound to
secure as much of the benefit as any
one from the new made rural spenders.
