Dear Sir: You are agent for De-
voc lead-and-zinc for your town
and'country.
The whole doctrine of it turns
on these three points:
(1) 1t is all paint and true paint;
90 1t is the strongest paint;
(3) 1t is full measure.
Because it is all paint, true
paint, proportional for strength
and full-measure.
~ 1t takes least for a job;
(2) Looks best all the time;
(3) Lasts longest;
az Gathers the trade, and holds
customers.
There is no such argument for
any other paint; there is no other
such paint; there is nothing but
talk for any other paint. Devee
is the paint, if you want the facts
on your side.
The country is full of exper-
fence; we bring these experience
to bear on your trade.
Yours truly
