Dear Sirs: How easy It is to

from our agents, Messrs B K & G.
W Sickle. Rockaway N Y.
A Rocksway man was going to
paint two houses. a year ago. lead
and oil. They induced him to
paint one Devoe, by agreeing to
bear any loss 1T might bring him.
One of bis houses calked-off,
and he called for a settlement.
The boot was on the wrong foot.
Lead-and-oil lie the chalker; not
Devoe. It was mistake, not a
buuco.
If Devoe chalked-off as lead

ghost of a chance in the market.
