Butler Pa. Dear Sir: No man is more interested in the look and wear of the paint on the houses you plan than yon; not eyen the owner; not even the painter. And painters sometimes are suspected of being more concerned for the look than the wear. What is yonr opinion? Which pays best. foT a painter to have bis paint hist three years, or as long as he can? lie can haye it last six years, if he wants to. Lead and oil lasts three; Devoe Lead and zinc lasts six. Of course, conditions effect the time of both. Most painters know that zinc toughens the lead; some use it. Devoe lead and zinc is thorougly ground in oil; the proportions are right, and the mixture is thorough. No x»ainter need mix; he can't afford to. Hand work can't compete with machine-work. He rnns no risk with Devoe lead and zinc. All interests lie in using it; yours, the owner's, the painter's unless be wants his paint to wear half as long. Yonrs truly. 35 F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. H.
