LETTER TO RYLANpER SHOE co
AmericuS Ga.

Dear Sirs: How did you get your
business? we'll tell you how we got
ours. You sell shoes, we make paint;
perhaps we can do good turn to our
selves, you and we, by swapping ex.
periences.
We began 152 years ago in little
shop few minutes walk from where
we are now; great many things have
happened, we don'G remember them
all. We made as good paint as we
could and learned to make better. We
are the oldest now; we don't know
whether we had any teacher or not; it's
so long ago; if we had, he's gone and
forgotten, We should have been for
gotten, if we hsnd'G made good paint
and friends.
You buy yolr shoes; you have an
advantage IN that; If you make mis-
take, you can stop it quick; f you make
hit, you can push it quick, We've
had to go slow; it's hard to pick -out
ones own mistakes, and nothing but
fun to correct the mistakes of others.
You know where to go for leather
that keep its shape, feels good, looks
new, and wears a long time. What 8
comfort it is to be comfortable from
making ones customers comfortable /
We also have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like it. We make a
strong paint that takes less gallons,
saves half the cost of painting your
house, and it's like that leather of yours
for wear. It is all paint and the
strongest of paint. Paint is usually
adulterated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young
paint! one gallon is better than two, if
it has the stnff in it.
Yours truly
F. W. DEVoE & Co
