LETTER TO REV ] n LIGHT
Fredericksburg Va.

Rev. Sir: We should like TO ask your
advice on certain thing done: was II
right or wrong? We shall have to state
it, including the names.
DF Dreicora is painter in Holyoke,
Mass. John Donohue is an architect,
Springfield, nearby.
Donohue was building. at Holyoke,
the Holy Family Institute, letting the
work by bids, as usual. Dreicorn got
the paint job; the paint was to be lead
and-oil.
But Dreicorn said to himself lead
and-oil isn't hall so good a. Devoe and
il costs more money, what shall do?"
He painted Devoe; and. after the work
was done, told Donohue, saying: ''if
that isn't better than any lead-and-oil
lob. III make it SO.
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in paint
ing a lead-and-oil job Devoe?
You ask how it turDed-out. This was
six years ago. Now Donohue has an
other lob there, big addition to the
Catholic Hospital; and he dosen't ask
bids for the painting, but says to Drei-
corn: go ahead .DriecOIn and give me
as good Job as you did on the Institute
That's the best paint job ever saw.
The question il ~ as Dreicorn right
in painting Deyoe when ne had agreed
to paint lead .and-Oil?'
That isn't quite all. Lead-and-oil is
expected to last three years. II DleicOrn
had used lead-and-oil, there would have
been another job for him or somebody
else three years ago.
Was he right in losing that job for
himself orsomebody -else three years ago?
The Institute took 200 gallons Devoe
and cost 81 900; the paint has worn six
wears. when Donohue says its the best
paint Job he ever saw" II he had used
lead .and-oil, it would have cost about
$4,000 for the two paint Jobs (six and
three years ago. and be hungry for paint
again.
Dreicorn lost $1,000 OF business and
took the risk e making Donohue mad
and losing his business, forever: all to
save the Holy Family Institute $1,000
besides the fuss OF paint job.
Was Dreicorn right or wrong as a
painter; and which would you paint
your church, lead-and-oil or Devoe?
Yours truly
