on to Jackson, but on his arrival
there his injuries were giving him
great pain, and he called in a ply

Dear Sir: Your business is,
when a house burns down, to give
the owner some money to build a
new one. 1t is a good business.
Queer that the world got on SO long
without it.
We paint the one that burnt
down and the new one too, What
is better, we paint the houses tnat
don't burn down.
You insure the honses that burn;
we insure the houses that don't.
You have the ashes and smoke; all
the houses are ours.
We paint lead-and-ziuc; Devoe.
We sell the paint to painters; we
don't paint.
Lead and-oil is the old gashion
paint. Devoe is zinc ground in
with lead and linseed oil; the best
paitn.. in the world; and the cheapest,
because it takes fewer gallons than
mixed paints and it wears twice as
long as lead-andoil. Nobody
wants poor paint; there's lots of
it, though, in the world.
Mr.. Aaron Higgins of Plain
field, always used IS gallons OF
mixed paint for the house. Last
Spring he bought IS gallons of De-
voc and had 4 gallons left.
Yours truly
F. w. DEVoE & Co,
SO New York.
