Letter to Treasurer Robinson
Alexandria. VIRGINIA

Dear Sir; Paint goes by gallons. There
are useful and useless gallons. Useful paint
Is lesd-zinc-and-oil with dryer aud calOr
useless paint il whiting, china clay, ground
stone, barytes, benzine or water.
THIS stuff is putin, because il is cheap, to
stuff-out the paint. TO make more gallons to
sell; Of course, the buyer doesn't suspect, or
he wouldn't buy it.
II costs as much to brush.On this useless
stuff as lead-zinc-snd-oil; but it looks like
that and feels like that in the brush; the
painter doesn't suspect it. Besides, If the
owner is willing, why should the painter OBJ
ject to painting two gallons for one? He is
paid oy the day; more gallons. more days,
more money.
Average paint at full price is about one.
third this useless stuff; and average paint at
Bi.25 or 81 so or $1.75 gallon is two.thirds
rash. Fool paint is the proper name for all
out pure paint; il is made TO fool people with A..
Knave paint is another good name; it is
made Of course, by knaves. Sick paint is a
name for an honest weak paint. They are all
weak and all extrayagant; too many gsljons
to buy and too many gallons 10 brush-0n,
Deyoe is the standard.
