LETTER TO THE GULF COAST
MARKET.
Bay st. Louis, Miss.

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, 80 much: neck
SO much; all the way between.
Just SO with paint. Devoe lead-and :
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody wan is
the neck; the between, some say, is
good enough for them.
But Deyoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead-and-oil is between; it
is the old fashion paint. But zinc has
come in. Zinc toughens white lead.
Deyoe ead-and-zinc is the paint that
wears twice as long as lead-and-oil.
Mr.. John N. Deitel, Fair Haven, N.
Y, writes:
mir. Charles Hollenbeck, of this
place, painted his house tnree years
ago WIN Devoe-lead -and-zlnc; his
iaCner painted at the same tune with

looks as well as the day 1T was painted,
