Letter to J. NJ. Hall.
WELSH, LA.

DEAR SIR: A big mill-owner, Spar
tansburg, S. C, wanted 5000 gallons
of paint, and bought by price; paid
5 cents less than ours; got a lead
and.zinc" paint; but the lead was sui
phate of lead, not carbonate. Sui
phate costs about half; and covers
about half.
That paint was adulterated about
six times as much as the 5 cents paid
for. He saved" 5 cents; and it cost
him 30.
Oh no; it cost him more than that;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it
out exactly; don't know how long it'll
wear.
Short-measure besides; that alone
was twice as much as his Saving" 5
cents. It was thin, too; some loss
there; don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it.
The maker made something on that;
he didn't.
Taking it altogether. ne didn't
make much by that cents.
Go by the name: and the name is
DeVOe lead-and-Zinc.
Yours truly
