Dear Sirs: A big mill-owner, Spar
tansburg, S c, wanted 5, 200 gallons of
paint, and bought by price; paid cents
less than ours; got a 'lead-and-zinc
paint: but the lead was sulphate of
lead, not carbonate. Sulphate costs
about half; and covers about half.
That paint was adulterated about six
times as much as the FIVE cents paid
for. He saved cents; and it cost
him 80,
Oh no; it cost him more than that;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it out
exactly; don know how long it'll wear.
Short-measure besides; that alone
was twice as much as his Saving" 5
cents.
II was thin, too; some loss there;
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that; he
