Butler Pa. Dear Sirs: It takes 3000 gallons of paint for the two big hotels at Coney Island— I Manhattan and Oriental. They are painted once in three vears with Devoe lead and zinc. Why BO often? Three reasons: (1) sea air cuts paint; (2) sand in the wind cuts paint; (8) hotels, especially pleasure hotels, want freshness and color as much as protection. Once in three years is often enough and not too often to paint a hotel on a windy sand beach. How long do you think lead and oil would last there? One year. Is there anything for you in this? Yours truly. 29 F. W. DEVOE & Co. P. S. —Patterson Bros, sell our paint in vour section. Public Sale in Washington Twp.

Recently creditors met with Mr. Steel smith at Pittsburg and it was agreed to allow 1H months in which to pay one third the indetbedness and 36 months for the balance. „ Mr. Steelsmith went to St. Marys, W. Va , to obtain the signature of the First National bank of that town to the paper.
