room where they tell you their troub-

OF structure. house, store, factory, ware
house, shop, barn, fence--any sort of
fence, except rail; with paint.
What paint? The paint that takes
least gallons; for paint costs money,
and putting it on costs twice as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; 1t in
cludes the rest. One paint wears long
another wears short; but the one that
wears long is the least-gallons paint;
least-gallons means pure and strong,
and most gallons means adulterated
and weak, besides small gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests
in the United States; not the business
of making It; no, the business of paint
taking care of property. Paint is
worth a great deal more than it costs,
and the best costs least: Devoe.
