LErrER 10 JOHN ). CROUCH
Middletown, Del.

Dear Sir: If D customer wants S33. so do
you give him $757
Suppose you should hear OF one Of your
customers doing thing like that and not
knowing it, what would you say next
time he wants discount?
Wen venture half your men are doing
that very thing with suspicion.
Men who paint any other paint than
Devoe are paying $75 for $3.50 or some
other such figure.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for good
size house two coats; Is or 20 isn't too
much of another paint. There's s8 rs or
$l7.5 for 5 or 10 extra gallons; besides 81
to "a gallon for putting 1t on; that's $40
to FAC. That's how half the houses
stores factories warehouses chops barns
fences are painted: $50 for paint and
labor, $25 to $50 more for not knowing
what paint TO put-on.
4 The one to put-on is the paint that
takes least gallons and makes least bills
for paint and labor.
Yours truly
40 FW DEvOE & co
P. s. j. f. McWhorter & Son sell our
paint.
