Cheap Paint

The cheapest paint is the one that goes farthest and wears best; there is most in gallon of it.
 What is a quart of milk worth? De- pends on the milk.
 So of paint: depends on the paint. Devoe is worth the top price, what ever it is. Poor paint is worth nothing at all; you've got to pay your painter s or 4 gallon for putting it on; and il isn't worth 1t.
 Devoe goes twice as far and wears twice or three times or four times as long.
 The cheap paint is Devoe at the top of the market.
