LETTER TO JOS. BERKMAK
Middletown Del.

Dear Sir: 1t is great thing for mer-
chant to have the exclusive sale lin his
region, OF course) of anything wanted by
everybody.
There are two ways to treat such goods.
One is put the price up and make big
profit. The other way is: be fair and
make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least gal-
Ions and costs least money house,a job,
a year, lifetime-no matter how you
reckon your costs, except by the gallon
--Desoe is the best care-taker and costs
least money
Don't forget the principal part of the
cost of paint is putting il on. Less gallons,
less cost. Don't forget another principal
part Of economy is long wear.
It 10 great thing to have exclusive sale
OF popular goods. Of goods that enrich
both buyer and seller. Devoe is perhaps
only ten per cent better than one or two
others; bDt ten is plenty-it's 200 300
better than many.
There's many merchant who hasn't
found-out his goods. 1t doesn't take q
man long to ind-out that Devoe il the
least-meney paint and why, no matter
which side he is on.
Yours truly
IA r. w. DEyoE & C0.
P. s. J. +. McWborter & Son sell our

w. L. Brandon, who arrived from
Paradise today, where he has been re-
siding for the past six months, reports
very favorably as to the fture Of the
Valley from mining point of view
He says several important discoveries
have been made, all of which go to
show that the country is highly m n
eralized. Free gold is found in vari-
Gus places in the hills that surround
the town. The greater part Of The
mineral region has at yet never beer
explored. The general formation
which is regular, makes it an easy task
for the prospector, and owing to the
water supply north and west of the
town, property of very low grade
could be worked at fair profit.

to eight and ten feet are almost with
