Letter to J. W. Breihahn;

ADDevl!lo, =. u. TsJ
Dear Sir; If.you should bake bread
that people like better than any other,
and at less cost by the day, you'd
have pretty-good business, wouldn't
you? ~,
We have just such a business as that
in paint; gallon goes further than
any other gallon of paint in the coun-
try that's bread at lees cost by the
day; but the difference isn't 30 small
as it is in bread And job wears
longer that's bread at less cost by the
year. People hate to paint; it costs
money to paint; and they hate the fuss
They like our bread by the year. "
IF your bread is better than anybody
else's. and costs less too, you've got q
good trade; for people DO like good
bread; and people like money. It
doesn't take long to find out; give 'em
time. 49,. ..'-...
But you can't bake better than any
body else's bread for half the usual
price for breakfast, can you? T., l.
Devoe is just such paint as that.
The price by the gallon or loaf is no
matter. Count by the day week
month year lifetime. Devoe Is the
bread. We hope yours is as good.
: Yours truly
F. w. DEVOE & co.
P.S. P. B. Speed sells our paint.

But while II was the wife who
