Letter To u. u. NCt all.

Dear sirs shuffert Hardware Co,
Hickory \. C.. bought car load OF
paint. after selling it few months,
found ont it measured seven pints a
gallon
Returned 1t TO the maker and cred
tied customers with what they had
lost from short measure.
What do YOU think of short
measure paint? Don't YOU think 1t
half white-wash? Half the paints are
part white-wash.
Go by the name: Devoe lead-and-
zine No whiting or clay in that; full
measure besides \ gallon Devoe is
worth two of whitewash paint.
Yours truly
