Just so with pairt. Devoe lead-and.
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody
wants the neck; the between, some say,
is good enough for them.
And Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead-and-oil Is between; it
is the old fashion paint. But zinc has
come in. Zinc hardens white lead.
Devoe lead-and. zinc is the paint that
wears twice as long as lead-and-oil.
