NEKOOsA, WIS

Dear Madam A great many people
will see courthouse in the course of the
next ten years. We want it to show
what Devoe lead-and-zinc will do.
We should like you to paint it, and
then not paint it again for ten years
unless it needs repainting
We'd like such a sample as that in
every town in the country-with a
notice about it in the local paper:
"Mr.--'s house was painted ten
years ago with devoe Merchandising,
and has never been reprinted. The
color is not so bright as it was; but
the paint is as perfect coat as ever,
to keep out water"
A good lead-and-oil Job is expected
to last three years; it generally does
not. DevOe lead-and-zinc lasts twice
as long, if not.
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
We want your house as a sample,
and you as witness.
Yours truly
