Dear Sirs: Your business is, when a
house burns down. to give the owner
some money to build new one. II is a
GOOD business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down and
the new one too. What is better. we
paint the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn:
we insure houses that don't.
You have the ashes and smoke; all the
houses are ours.
We paint lead.and-zinc; Dcv0e. We
sell the paint to painters; we don't paint
I.ead-and-oil is the old fashion paint
Deyoe is zinc ground in with lead and
lin-eed oil the best paint in the world:
and the cheapest, because it takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and it wears
twice as long as lead-and-oil. Nobody
wants poor paint; there's lots OF it,
though. in the world.
