Letter to Mr.. John Lawrence,
NEKOOSA, Wis.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseShoes
and nails; your grandfather. if he was
a blacksmith, made 'em. You can't
afford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good, or better
perhaps, readymade to your hand, for
a little more than the cost of the iron.
What do you think of painter who
goes on buying his linSeed oil and
whitehead, and mixing, and tinting
by hand, and charging his time for
work that is far better done than he
can do it, done by machinery, done as
your horSeShoes and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He IS wasting his chance in the
world. There is no better stuff to dc
business with than good horSeShoes
and paint: and no better work than
putting them on. Good horseShoes
well put on: It's the putting 'em on
that makes you blacksmith: no mat
ter who makes 'em.
Who wants to 60 back to old times.
and make his own horseshoeS?
Between US two, that painter don't
know how TO make good paint-he
used to: but paint has run away from
him.
Yours truly
