Dear Sir: You understand chemistry;

OF our paint that takes fewer gallons
tlikn mixed paint and wears twice as
long as lead made OF white
lead, white-zinc, its color, turPentine

II any chemist finds any adulteration
In this paint we'll pay his bin and $1,000
besides.
It's nobody's business what we put in
our paint. Of course; but we want Il
known. For lead-and- zinc and Mnseed
oil, ground together by machinery, are
the stuff to paint with: and lead and-oil
mixed by hand is not.
We want Il known that one word de-
scribes the best paint In the world; and
that word Is Devoe.
Are you going to paint?

Young Men Wanted

The demand is greater than the supply, and a large number of | young men and women are want ed at once to complete courses of 1 bookkeeping and shorthand or telegraphy in the Tyler Com mercial College, Tyler, Texas. l During the past two weeks we have received far more calls for our graduates than we could SUD- ply. We have not and have not | had for sometime a single gradu- ate of bookkeeping and short hand out of a position whose aD- phcation is on our employment bureau file. This fact should be quite encouraging to the young people who have been hesitating to spend time and money for business education, fearing that they could not secure employ ment when their course were finished. We can assure every one who takes our course of book keeping and shorthand or tele- graphy that they will be placed promptly upon the completion of their course. We can also as sure them that they will be placed in a good position which will be highly satisfactory to them. Business firms and rail roads are beginning to realize the thorough practical training given the graduates of the Tyler Con- mercial College and during the past two weeks firms from Fit.
 Worth, Waco, Dallas and other cities have asked us to furnish them with competent book keepers and stenographers, and
 we had no graduates to recon mend, not withstanding the fact that we have an annual enroll ment of 1500 students. If you have not sufficient means with which to pay your way through
 school, WI ite us and state frank ly your condition and we will submit to you the plans that have proven so successful with thous- ands of others who were in your
