Tear Sir: But few of the meu who sell the
hundred different paints in the market know
much about them Al Devoe agents have a
state chemists certif cate telling just what
it's made of; they know good deal, not only
about Devoe but the rest; we see that they
do. We buy every paint, that has any sale,
aud ar alyze it. Our agent fin 1s-out all about
it
When we know what paint is msde-of, we
know how it will act; we know how far it
goes, and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100. The best
of the re st is about IS; the worst about Is;
the rest are between.
But the men who sell them, don't know
any better. They know what the maker tells
them Toat is: they kuow that he tells them.
They don't know whether he tells them the
truth or not.
The business is not conducted on knowl-
edge; the less they kntw, the more COM
Portable they are.

THE NEW LoRK CAMPAIGN.

them
But we cannot recall the time when
there was any such campaign going
en- here as there Is now in New York
City
There are three candidates for the
mayorality in that city Two of these
candidates are democratic or men
who have been known on the past as

that the faetional fight should be
