Tie difference between the pro

and the contract for the 5wO new

Letter 10 j. M. C0urrege.,

Dear Sir: 1t is a great thing
for a merchant to have the exclu-
sive sale lin his region. of course)
Of anything wanted 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
ore.
Deyoe is the paint that takes
least gallons and costs least money
a house, a job, year, q lifetime
no matter how you reckon your
costs, except by thes gallon-De
voc is the best care taker and costs;
least money.
Don: forget that the principal
part Of IT, cos IF paint
is putting Eit on. Don't for
get that another principal part of
economy is ldng wear; less gallons,
less cost and longwear.
1t is a great thing TO have the
exclusive sale of popular goods
that make friends, of goods that
enrich both buyer and seller.
Deyoe is perhaps only ten pei
cent better than one or two others:
but ten is a plenty-it's 200 OF
300 better than many.
There's many merchant who
hasn't found.Out his goods. II
doesn't take a man long to find
out that Devoe is the least-money
paint and why, no matter which
side he liz on.
