LETTER TO ARMSTRONG MACHINE CO.,
Welsh, La.

Dear Sir: Experience teaches some
people sometimes; it teaches few
some things; it's mighty slow school
though, that same experience.
Lots of people paint ead-and-oil,
paint once in three years, and think
themselves wise; they are wasting half
their money and fuss. They're so
sure they are wise, they die as they
live, paint-foolish. Experience teaches
them nothing.
There's another set, who buy paint
by the gallon, and 60 by the price of
a gallon. They think one price is
nigh, and another is low; and they
pay about middling; why don't they
pay low? They know that milk ism It
dear or cheap by the price of quart:
that the milk has something to do
with it. They don't buy "cheap"
milk; but they buy Cheap" paint and
pay double. Experience teaches them
nothing.
There's another set. They painted
years ago lead-and-oil; exhausted
that. Then tried something else; it
was better or worse. Then Deyoe: it
cost about half and wore twice as
long. That's how experience teaches
some of us.
