Dear Sir: The way to buy paint is to go
by the name. There is name never seen on
sham paint or weak paint or short-measure
paint: DeVOe.
There are a hundred different names in
paint. Some are sham: some weak; some
short.measure; and some all three.
If there is another such paint as Devoe
lead.snd zinc, we don't know 1t. There are
few fairly good paints; few; only one
DevOe. gallon DeVoe is worth gallon
and-a-half Of those few.
Mr.. Aaron higgins. Of Plsin6sld, N. j.,
always used 10 gallons Of mixed paint for his
house Last spring he bought Is gallons OF
Devoe and had gallons left
Yours truly
F. w. DEV0E & co.
P.s E. 8. Leadbeater & Sons sell our
paint. %

APRoFEssIONAL OPINION.

Mr.. Harry Pittmsn, the pianist with
the Pittman Concert Company, says:
1.-THE Weaver Piano cannot be excelled
for brilliancy of tone coupled with
fine action and beautiful finish" 1t is
a piano that he takes great pleasure in
recommending. The piano is better
than most others, simply because II is
made better. The workmanship is SUI
perior and each piece of material that en-
tiers into the construction is the finest
obtainable Mechanical genius enhanced
by the finest intellects and all directed
by a good conscience are the elements
which have made the Weaver Piano
superior to others. Send for cata-
louge.
