Dear Sir: Not one man In ten knows
whether he's wasting money or not,
when he paints. 1t depends on the
paints.
With one paint. your job will take 10
gallons and cost $50 for paint and labori
with another 10 and cost 3 60;
with another IA and cost 20;
with another 10 and cost so;
with another 10 and cost 30;
with another 90 and cost 100;
with another 20 and cost 10;
Here's an example. Professor Irvine,
of the Academy, Mercersburg, Pa,
painted the floors of his dormitories
every year, one year with one paint,
next year with the paint of the other
dealer thereto divide the business
between them - till Devoe came to
town.
The job took 80 gallons; takes 60
Devoe. The difference, 80 gallons, $3.50.
He didn't know he was losing $3.50 q
year till he got Devoe.
Another example. When Geo. W.
Brown, Union s. O. painted B + Arthur's
house first time 1t took 30 gallons cheap
paint; reprinted Devoe; IA gallnos.
Yours truly,

ADVANCE IN Rates
ON INSURANCE

owing to the impossible condition Of
streets the Board of Fire Underwriters
has raised insurance rates on all build
ings except those of class A in the
burned district SO 1-3 per cent. The
change was made several days ago and
will continue In effect until the Board
of Works cleans the thorOughfares and
makes them passable for the fire en-
gines.
In an interview last night one OF
the officers of the board said the raise
in insurance rates was due solely TO
the neglect Of the Board OF Public
Works in not getting the streets
cleared. He said that a few nights
ago one of the big fire engines was
stuck in a mud hole at the foot of
California street and was removed with
difficulty.
1t is expected that the action of the
insurance men will incite the Board
of Works to some action toward inn
proving the city's thoroughfares.
