Letter to w. Scott Alexander,
Nc ConnelZs6Nrg, Pa.


Dear Sir: AS your business is
to get people into and out of trou.
BILE, suppose you consider their
paint; it makes 'em almost as
much trouble as money, except;
of course, matrimony.l
They buy poor paint a good
deal; they don't mean to; they
don't know any better; they buy
without thinking. Bad paint
ISM t good. 1t looks good enough
for year; then begins to get
rusty; but changes so slowly, one
don't notice it.
Looking ism all. The business
of palut is to keep house dry in
side, the wood and iron of it; keep
1T from rotting and rustlng.
Takes good paint to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at
one price or about that. One
can't go by the price at all; as
with lawyers, the price has moth
ing to do with goodness or bad
ness; an6 costs are worse yet
the painter and sheriff come in
tor their share.
But the probability is that
man, who paints Devoe, will come
out on top.
Yours truly
f. w. DEvoE & Co.,
16 New York.
T. S.-F. q. Bare, Fort Little
ton, sells our paint.

fire started by an accident is cas-.
lily put out. This is not the cas-
with either kerosene or gasoline,
where water merely increases the
danger. by scattering the fire.
For purposes of heating and
cooking, denaturized alcohol is
most admirably adapted. 1t can
compete with coal for the heating
of rooms, halls, etc, and there is
no waste of heat nor unwhole-
some vapors or gases. 1t is far
cleaner to use, there beng no
ashes. When the alcohol heater
is shut off, that ends the expense.
The enormous increase within
the past few years in the manu-
facture OF all sorts of internal
combustion engines for motor
purposes, automobiles, power
boats, farm engines, and many
other kinds of work has caused
such a demand for gasoline for
fuel that the price has steadily in
creased, until at this time it is
nearly double it's former cost.
1t will therefore be easily un.
derstood that denaturlzed alcohol
is perfectly feasible and practi-
cable proposition and will be able
to compete with gasoline and ker.
osene in the production of power,
h .at and light, and great good
will thus result, especially to the
100000 farmers of the United
States.
The products of their farms,
such as corn, wheat, rye, oats,
rice, barley, and potatoes, are
easily converted into alcohol, aud
could be so done in cooperative
dlstllleries, which the farmers
would own and operate, under
government supervision. The
alcohol would be returned to them
In tank cars or by pipe lines, ac'
cording to the circumstances of
the case, and they would thus be
enabled to light and heat their
homes, run their farm machinery
and largely do their work by this
alcohol.
1t will thus be seen that an
enormous amount of raw materi
al for the manufacture of alcohOI
exists, ready to our hand, in tins
country. On the contrary, pc
troleum, turpentine aud wood al
cohol are all produced from
sources which are constantly dl
mlnishing, and their price mus
perforce rise as tune passes.
The cost of denaturized alc)
on the other hand, will tend to bt
always lowered o. accounG of The
great abundance of raw materia
from which to make 1t as well as
the permitting America inventive
genus and opportunity to exploit
it's manufacture and great uses
1t will be seen that new use is
thus made for potatoes and many
of our farm products.
