Letter to E. C. Davidson.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: Here is a curious condition
in the paint business, but it exists. N.
Avery, Delhi, N. Y., owns two houses
exactly alike; ho painted one with a
mixed paint—took 12 gallons. Painted
the other with Devoe; bought 12 gallons
and had 6 gallons left. Same painter:
George Gilbert. Same result, so far as
looks go.
As you are not a paint maker, you
probably don't understand why a gallon
of Devoe lead and zinc contains twice
as much paint as a gallon of some of
the mixed paints. We'll tell you: A
gallon of milk that's half water, isn't a
gallon of milk; neither is a gallon of
paint that's half lime and china clay, a
gallon of paint. The following is the
analysis of one of the mixed paints
sold in your section:
Lead, zinc and color 41 per cent
Lime and China Clay 59 per cent
This 59 per cent of Lime and China
Clay is whitewash; it is to paint what
water is to milk—adulteration; conse
quently this paint contains only 41 per
cent of legitimate paint material (lead,
zinc and color) while Devoe lead and
zinc contains 100 per cent.
That explains, why a gallon of Devoe
lead and zinc contains twice as much
paint as a gallon of some of the mixed
paints.
Yours truly,
48 F. W. DEVOE & Co.

ELKS' FAIR AND CARNIVAL.

TOUR TO THE PACIFIC COAST.
Another Opportunity to Visit California
under the Auspices of the Pennsylvania
Railroad's Personally-Conducted Sys
tem.
In view of the great popularity of
transcontinental travel under the Per
sonally-Conducted System, as evidence
in the recent Pennsylvania Railroad
Tour to the Pacific Coast and Canadian
Northwest, that company has decided
to run another tour to the Pacific Coast,
including in the itinerary a visit to the
world-famous Grand Cannon of Ari
zona, in the early Fall. The tour will
leave New York, Philadelphia, Balti
more, Washington and other stations
on the Pennsylvania Railroad east of
Pittsburg, on Monday, September 23,
and reach New York on the home
ward trip Tuesday, October 22.
As in former tours to California under
the auspices of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, a special train, composed of the
highest class of Pullman equipment,
will be utilized during the entire trip.
Excellent meals will be served
in the dining cars attached to
the train during the entire journey,
except during the stops at San Fran
cisco and in Chicago. An observation
car will appeal to all who delight in
scenery. Few trips afford so great a
diversity in Nature's beauties as the
one outlined below. Westward bound,
the tourists will pass through the wild
slopes of the Colorado Rockies, around
the Great Salt Lake, and over the fast
nesses of the Sierra Nevada. After
visiting all the beautiful resorts on the
sunny California slopes, the eastward
journey will be through the Arizona
desert to the Grand Canon of Arizona.
Its beauties cannot be painted in mere
words. Magnificent in coloring, awful
in its depths, it Btands among the
natural wonders of the world. Thence
across the plains to St. Louis, and east
ward through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania, the tourists reach
their destination just thirty days after
leaving home.
The various transcontinental lines
having made low rates on account of
the General Triennial Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
enabled to offer this superb vacation
trip at the low rate of $lB5 for the round
trip from New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington, or any point
on Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pitts
burg, one in a berth; and $165 for the
round trip, two persons occupying the
same berth. The rate from Pittshurg
will be $5 lees.
Diagrams are now open, and as the
number who can be accommodated will
be strictly limited, names should be
registered immediately.

tive pamphlet, apply to George W.
