Letter to L. A. ROusset.
Brownsville. Tex

Dear Sir: You'd strike il rich il
you could find way to shave your
customers in less time. for less cost,
and make the shave last twice or
three times as long.
You wouldn't shave the same
person so many times, or get so
much OF his money; but the whole
town would be talking about YOU.
and everybody would come to YOU
for a shave.
Devoe lcad-and- zinc is exactly
that IN paints. II takes fewer gal
Ions, and II wears longer. Costs
less for the job. and you don I have
to DO il again for years and years
six years at least.
Fewer gallons; wear longer.
Takes fewer gallons TO paint 4
house with Devoe lead-and-zinc
than with mixed paints: and il
wears longer than mixed paints
or lead-and-oil.
Yours truly

Leary of the locals made some very nice end runs and also Right Halfback Welch gain ed, considerable ground by end run ming and hitting the line One of the features of the game was q bluff play by Quarterback French and Halfback Welch. French gave signals twice, when Right End Leary called again for signals and a bluff argument start ed between him and French, causing the Meriden players to look up and get off their guard and then Weisman snapped the ball to Welch and before the Meriden team woke up to the fact that they had been fooled Welch was half way down the field for a touch down.

from his colleagues of the legal frater-

OF admiration OF his able work To
these fluctuations there were added
those OF the learned judge himself. who
