Yes, and bought 40 or so or 60 or so
percent more gallons; how much hid he
make on his paint3
And he paid for painting those gal
Ions fair days work is a gallon-how
much did he make on the labor part Of
his job?
He lost a quarter or third of his
money.
How long will it last? not his money,
paint?
Perhaps half as long as Devoe. How
long will his money last, if he buys
other stuff as he bought that paint?
Better buy the best paint: it makes
the least bill and least-of:en.
