Dear Sir: Devoe is worth 81 or SIS a
gallon, put on; how much is another
paint worth?
Depends on how many gallons YOU'VE
got to put-on, to be equal to one Of De-
voc.

houses one coat, five years ago, lead
and-Oil, took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gallons De-
voc for some houses: had Legations left.
Mr.. N. Avery, Delhi. N. z. owns two
houses exactly alike; painted one with
Devoe; took gallons. The other with
some other; took II gallons.
What'd you give for those off paints?
Bear in mind, you've got to pay for the
painting. Yours truly,
F. w. DEvOE & Co.
