BELFAST, MAINE.

Dear Sir: You know what paint is for,
how it does it, how it fails, what paint does
it, and what paint don't It's your business
to know of course you know Devoe.
There are some details, which, of course.
you can't be expected to know. For in
stance the next-best paints are only three
quarters as good. That's strange; very
strange There are a dozen of them per
haps you don't know them so accurately
as that you don't know them all by name.
No matter one is enough the only one you
have real occasion to know is Devoe.
The queer of it is that the others leave
the whole business to us SO. We make
paint as good as we can; others make it as
good as they have to. Queer, but we don't
complain. Yours truly,
F. w. DEyoE & Co.
