Letter to Samuel Pendleto1
Bridgeport, Conn.

Bridgeport, Conn.
 Dear Sir: The real test of a paint is how many square feet will a gal swear they cover 300 square feet two coats. Mildly, they prevaricate.
 L H Fserchaud; builder, HOS Dupre St, New Orleans, covered 1900 square feet with three gallons :Devoe last year; and paints all sf1is Jobe Devoe. That's how the tale gets to us.
 He doesn't say whether one or two coats; if one, there's nothing wonder full in it: if two, they must have very small feet in New Orleans
 Devoe doesn't t stop at 300 feet; but over 500! Most paints, we suppose, can be stretched to 300 feet, but they're mighty thin; they cover well 150 to 200.
 When N R Watkins. Lott, Texas, painted his house before, it took 13 ga1lons;-De ' gallons. That shows the strength of the. paints.
 w B McCluney painted a house in Crystal Springs, Miss, to test. two pure paints; one coat 6 gallons DeVoe; tn e other cost 10 gallons Of New Or leans paint That shows the strength of the paints.
 Surfaces differ; one takes more, another takes less. Devoe covers more than. any other paint; two to one in the case ofshalf the paints. But how many it covers, we don't know till we see the surface.@

may be called degenerate conformity to local public opinion. Private
vengeance, Manhattan variety, is degenerate defiance OF public
