Letter TO II. r. McIlwain.

Dear Sir: If you could get the ex.
elusive sale Of sweeter sugar for five
miles round-1-2 lb a. sweet as pound
of usual sugar, and cost no more
you'd jump at it, wouldn't you?
There wouldn't be 100 Id of any
other sugar sold in q year in your
town; you'd gobble the trade and 1t
wouldn't hurt your whole business.
Devoe is like that among paints ; 1t
is twice as sweet as some 1t is sweeter
than any; not one exception; one
gallon is two or one-and-a-half or one
and-three. quarters.
Better than that; paint has 10 be
painted; that costs 81 to $4 q gallon.
A gallon saved is So to 81 saved in Ia
Dor, besides the paint.
Even that isn't all. A gallon Devoe
put-on wears as long as two gallons
put-on at a cost Of So to $4 a gallon and
two gallons more put-on at So to 81 a
gallon. Count all that. The paint
that wears double costs less by 8 gal
Ions Of paint and gallons OF paint
ing; that's about SIS q gallon for those
superfluous gallons.
That's as good as q double-sweet
sugar. isn't it?

Gentlemen -
We want to donate some l.. & M
Paint to your church whenever they
paint.
The largest Methodist church in
Georgia expected to use 100 gallons Of
the usual kind of paint, they only used
80 gallons l.. & M. mixed with "a gal
gallons Linseed Oil.
1t costs less to paint house with L.
& M. than with other paint, because
painter mixes Linseed OH fresh from
the barrel at go cents gallon with L.

for Linseed Oil as. done if ready-for-use
paint is used. Also because l.. & M.
Zinc bardens the L. & M. White Lead
and makes the paint wear like iron.
Actual cost L. & M. about $1.20 pei
