LETTER TO IRA H. SMITH,
Palestine Texas.


Dear Sir: New Orleans is one of
the cities hard on paint; but, never
theless, they paint lead-and-oil a good
deal there.
A. c. Caller painted two houses
last year for F. Hinderer: one lead
and-oil and the other Devoe. The
first is already in bad condition; De
voc is perfect.
M. Augustin, New Orleans, has
painted his house Devoe three times
in eighteen years. This shows that
Devoe is good for six years there.
In Florida, where lead-and-oil wears
only year, we have no complaint of
Devoe and we know of its wearing
ten years in several instances. We
don't say it wears ten years, you
know; there are such instances.
No complaint is enough to say
till we have longtime experiences;
they're coming. Meantime Devoe is
the paint that takes least gallons,
makes least bill, and wears longest.
So much we're sure of.
Yours truly,
20 F. w. DEVOE & co.
P. Sc. S. Maffitt sells our paint.
