LETTER TO E G HELM
Fredericksburg. Va.

Dear Sir: Let's have a little private
talk by ourselves on business; nobody
else, please read.
You want to know how TO do a cheap
Job of painting, and have it look good.
Here it is: The cheapest thing there is in
the way of a good-looking iob-say moth
ing about its being goods Deyoe: the
regular thing in Devoe
The reason is: Devoe goesf further than
anything else. Lead-and-oilisgood
ing; don't go so far and costs more. The
other paints are more or less short in one
way or another; don't go so far and
costs more than Devoe.
Deyoe costs least OF all; you don mind
its lasting longer, do you? We can'thelp
it: a paint that goes further lasts longer;
we can't help il,
Yours truly
10 FW DEvoE & Co
