LETTER TO Il. e. BROWER
Opelousas, IL

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons. There
are useful and useless gallons. Useful
paint is lead-zinc-and-oil with dryer and
color; useless paint is whiting, china-clay,
ground stone, barytes, benzine, or water.
This stuff is putin, because cheap,
to stuff-out the paint, to make more gal
Ions to sell; of course, the buyer doesn't
suspect, or he wouldn't buy it.
It costs as much to brush-on this use
less stuff as lead-zinc-and-oil; but it looks
like that and feels like that in the brush;
the painter doesn't suspect it. Besides,
if the owner is willing, why should the
painter object to painting two gallons
for one? He is paid by the day; more
gallons, more days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about one
third this useless stuff; and average paint
at $1.25 or $3.50 or s1.75 a gallon is two
thirds trash. Fool paint is the proper
name for all but pure paint; it is made to
fool people with. Knave paint is an
other good name; it is made, of course, by
knaves. Sick paint is a name for an hon
est weak paint. They are all weak and
all extravagant: too many gallons to buy
and too many gallons to brush-on. Devoe
ID the standard. Yours truly
Ill F w DEVOE & co
P. S. ]. B. Sandoz sells our paint.

The postoffice department has made a
ruling which will benefit country news
papers, but will be hard on delinquent
subscribers. Hereafter publishers can
not carry subscribers who are in arrears
for more than a year; unless such pub
fishers are willing to deliver the paper to
such delinquents at their own expense.
The offer is a heavy blow to the regular

their advantage. Mansfield Journal.
