Sclienek. Butler, Pa. Dear Sir: When you build «i house you want a good paint next the wood - it goes a long way in taking care of the wood. The paint that has the best chance to be useful is this first coat; first two coats: first three coats. The first takes care of the wood: the second takes care of the first; the third takes care of the two. All three become one; and that one is to last forever. "For ever" means as long as the house lasts. The way to make the first painting last, as long as the house, is to follow it np with repainting often enough. How often? Depends on the paint. Repaint while the paint is still water proof. All the wear is outside; there is no wear on the under paint. This is how the first painting lasts forever: by | keeping it covered: keeping it sound. And this is the cheapest way to take care of a house. But how often to paint d* ends on your paint, ff you paint lead and oil. paint again in three years or less; if Devoe lead and zinc, paint again in three years or more. That "less" and "more" are about, as one to two. Devoe lead and zinc takes care of a house at half cost, because it lasts twice as long as lead and oil. Yonrs truly, 11 F. W. DEVOE & Co.
