Letter to Virginia Glass Co.
Alexandria, We.

Dear Sirs: We've got $35 for you. Is it
time TO paint that house? Let us give you q
point. The cost of a job Of paint depends on
the paint-of course, we assume your painter
is honest, or, what's the same thing, that
your eyes are good.
ifyou paint with one p9int, it'll take 10
gal lons-say 10 for ease Of reckoning-that
proportion.
Paint with another, 10 gallons; another 20
gallons.
Eere's a man who has found it out by do
ing il:
Jacob N Hayes, Of BlOomingdale, N 7,
used eight gallons Deyoe on job he had
used IA gallons Of another paint on last tine
You think he saw 6 gallons OF paint,
Sl05 80. No. he saved also the wages for
painting gallons; that's about $40 more.
Ard that isn't all. The pint that saves six
gallons wears longer than paint that wastes
six gallons. We don't know how much
longer.
We rather think this letter is worth sto t
500 T. You.
Yours truly,
