LETTER TO G VI SHEPHERD
Eradarickshurg Va

Dear Sir: Here's a tale with three or
four tails to it. T..
Professor Irvine has an Academy,
Mercersburg, Penn. He paints the floors
in summer vacation. IL used to take
90 gallons OF paint. There We're two
paint-stores there, and he used to buy
lone year of one, next year of the other
80 gallons year after year.
Now he paints Deyoe; 60 gallons; and
the difference is Il saving of $3.50 "a year
H.C. Fallon was one OF those dealers
good man; but he wouldn't take-up
Devoe; so we turned to the other, A
BOYD. But Fallon has found it necessa-
~ TO get good paint to compete with
Devoe. He got one of the eight honest
paints. He has a big hardware store and
is doing an excellent hardware business;
but Boyd, of course, has the run on paint
he's a little hardware man.
We don't care how little or big man
is, II he wants good paint and is active
and sound
Yours truly
