Paint and Not

Paint was never before so high as
last year: about S2.25 gallon Devoe
and a half-dollar less for trash.
What is trashs
1t looks like paint and pretends to
be paint, but isn't worth painting. 1t
costs painters day's-work to put-on
a gallon of paint, good or bad; and a
painters day s-work is 50 or "a.
Add that ito the price of a gallon.
That is the cost of a gallon. Deyoe is
s. TO So gallon; and trash haif-dol-
lar less.
Dut Devoe is all paint and more too;
you add oil 10 it; gallon Is 3 or d
quarts of perfect paint for the paint
er's pot. But trash is three quarters
two thirds or half-paint; you pay .
half-dollar less for nobody knows
what-it-is.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for the
average JOB; it takes ID 10 20 gallons of
trash. And the wear same way. Tn
fortunately, they look alike when first
put on.

Until the day breaks.
We lay it down the work done LOT

When Heavens roll call eenoes
Unto our name, with brave and loving

Until the day breaks.
When it shall break. dear races 70

Hopes TO fruition grown, and youth
