LETTER TO J. F. WATSON,
Palestine. Texas.


Dear Sir: We make Devoe, and oil
: course know what there is in it; but
you don't, your neighbors don't, and
the people don't. So we get the Off
cial chemist of every state in the
union TO anlyze it and tell what he
finds; of course, they find what we
put in: lead, zinc and oil, a little tur
pentine dryer, and color for tints
. And that's paint. Every agent has
the analysis of Devoe by his state
chemist
We also analyze all other paints
and what do we find?
We find eight made of the same
materials as Devoe: all paint, pure
paint. But we find no one of the
same proportions as Devoe; no one so
strong.
And people are trying Devoe along.
side of these other paints, and find
ing out how they work, what it costs
to paint Devoe, what it costs to paint
those several paints, how they weai
alongside and comparatively.
There's no guess work in any o:
these results. A gallon Devoe goes
further than any other gallon in all
paint; il therefore saves both parts
of first cost of job, of paint and
labor. 1t makes the best job of the
lot, besides. 1t takes years and ex-
periences by the thousand TO find that
out. Yours truly,
SO F. w. DEvOE & co.
