Dear Sir: You sell good many things by
the gallon. Being decent man, you give a
full measure.
You know what we mean; you know that
short weight and short measure are common
among-well, we hope there are no short
measures and weights in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and laces and
trimmings, sold by the 'dozen," measure
nine or ten yards. There is no complaint,
because they all do it," You have the same
plague in your gOOds-nearly everything,
canned or bottled, cheats in the quantity. Al
most nobody gives full weight in factory
PACKAGE
We are one Of the almost nobodies. We
sell paint, by the gallon, to paint your
house; and our gallon is just the same size as
yours that your measure vinegar with-23l-
cubic inches.
Good paint too-Devoe ead-and-zinc-
takes fewer gallons than mixed paint and
wears twice as long as lead-and-oil.
You own house. That's why We are writ
ing TO you.
Yours truly
