Letter to Mr.. Eli Taylor.
NEKCOSA, WIS.
Dear Sir: You painters have sort
of natural prejudice against ready
paints: and considering the quality of
some of them we don't blame you.
But we paint makers know some
things that it might pay you to learn;
and one OF them is that paint ma
terialS can be better mixed in large
quantities by machinery than by hand.
Better mixed means that the paint
covers better. brushes out smoother,
nd lasts better in the wear. And we
can also get our proportions very exact;
another point which gueSS-WOrk or
handwriting can't do.
We make Devoe lead and-Zinc Paint
of the same materials that good paint
ers use; lead, zinc, color, linSeed oil,
turpentine dryer; we mix these TO-
gether by mechanical means, in the
right proportions.
Out in Sioux Rapids, Ia, is painter
named T. Alvastadt. He has been a
good painter for Is years and has used
at one time or other nearly every
brand of mixed paint known. He says
that DevOe lead-and-Zinc is the best
paint he ever used; covers more to the
gallon, does it better, and spreads
easier than any paint he ever put a
brush into. You might try it and see
if he's right. Yours truly
F. W. DEvOE & Co.
New York and Chicago.
