LETTER TO CHAS. RICHARDSON.
burlington.

Dear Sir 1t IS great thing for n
merchant to have the exclusive sale Gin
his region, of course) OF anything want
ed by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price up and
make big profit. The other way is be
fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and costs least money house,
a Job, a year, a life'ime-no matter how
you reckon your costs, except by the
gallon-Devoe is the best care taker
and costs least money.
Don't forget that the principal part
OF the cost of paint Is putting it on.
Less gallons, less cost, Don't forget that
another principal part of economy Is
long wear; less gallons, less cost and
long wear.
1t is a great thing to have the ex-
elusive sale of popular goods of goods
that make friends. of goods that enrich
both buyer and seller. Devoe Is per-
haps only ten per cent. better than one
or two others but ten is plenty-its
200 or 800 better than many.
There's many n merchant who hasn''
found-out his goods. 1t doesn't take q
man long TO fnd-out that Devoe is the
least-money paint and why. no matter
which side he Is on.
Yours truly

1t was rare that he ever criticised his

himself with the reflection that the court
was wrong and he was right I doubt #
he ever consoled his client In that way.

his brethren bear him. In Difference to
