Letter TO J. W. Thayer.

Dear Sir: What is lumber WORTH
Depends on the lumber, you say
what sort do you want7"
That's how some people talk about
paint. They ask "What'll you paint
nv house for?'
The Yankee answer is: ''How do you
want it painted? One coatg two coats!
three coats? first-class or cheap.
The proper answer is: II want the
best paint put on as il ought to be. 4"
That's Devoe; but the usual answer
is; 81 want good job: but want it
cheap" Which means: | want you
to paint it for nothing. | want to be
fooled.
Lead-and-oil is the costliest paint
there is: not the best; it used to be best.
Devoe is best, since zinc came in;
Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Zinc toughens the lead and doubles
its wear.
Zine costs no more than lead; and we
grind by machinery.
We .hsge. po.pstept- on zinc; but no
BODY else is treating il right, Devos
is your paint Yours truly -
FW DEvoE G. Co

Mr.. Buchanan said. in speaking Of the
exposition:
There are certain features Of the ex-
position that / believe are distinctly bet
ter In every sense than we're found In
any one exposition since Chicago, notably
the government exhibits, which excel for
novelty and interest The States Exhibit
Building and contents also equal any
thing that l have seen made by any State
at other expositicns. and in some in
stances are vastly better Too much i'm
pOrtanCe has been attached to the incOm-
pleteness Of the exposition. With decent
weather, IN the next ten days there will
be a complete transformation In what
appears TO the uninitiated as serious IN

been given 10 blemishes, while apprecia-
tion has been lacking Of just and fair
recognition Of the beautiful buildings and
