Most everybody is suspicious that
most all the statements made by az
outside advertiser are terribly street
ched if rot absolute falsehoods. And
we plead guilty of thinking that the
statements made, by Devoe paint
company, one Of our advertisers, that
their paint would go twice as far as
other paints was putting things
plenty strong, for, while not knowing
anything about the paint question,
we could see no reason why a gallon of
one kind of paint should 60 further
than gallon of any other paint.
Bet conversation overheard in a
P0stville business place Tuesday even
ing, fully conyinces US that the claims
made by the Devoe people for their
paint are absolutely true, A citizen whe
had fully decided to paint his house
came into the above mentiQ ned business
place to get the views of Two brothers,
who had each built homes of about
the same size within the past year OF
so, on the kind of paint to use. One
said he painted lead and oil, it cost
him close to S26, and the paint was
beginning to peel off; the other said
he used Devoe lead-and-Zinc, it cost
him little over S14 and looked as well
and bright as when first put on. They
gave no advice, but it would be an
easy matter to guess what kind OF
paint the men who made the in.
Quiry will use on his house. EXTRACT
