 Letter to S. w. Wheeler
 Bridgeport, Conn.
 Dear Sir: Mrs c Ashes house in Yorkvi1le, S c, was painted Devoe 21 years ago and hadn't been painted since; it is a handsome house and the paint was in good condition when we were there three years ago. Do we therefore say that Devoe wears 21 years in South Carolina? :? No; on the sandy coast, where the 1 sun is hot and the flying sand cuts the bark off trees, Devoe is the only i paint that wears more than one year. | Localities differ; Devoe doesn't differ It is the paint that takes least gallons to cover a job and makes least cost and wears longest; how long | depends on suh wind sand etc
 Yours truly
