Dear Sir: Most painters insist that lead and oil is good for three years: but they also insist that it needs going over again in three years. It is as much as to say it's a good job of paint that lasts three years. Which is true; and a l>etter that lasts six years. Lead and oil lasts three: Devoe lead and zinc lasts six. When a paint begins to let in water, then it is time to repaint. It may be one year; it may be ten. Lead and oil lasts three, if well put on: lead and zinc lasts six if ground together and well put on. But painters are better acquainted with lead than with zinc. Zinc is newer. Devoe lead and zinc is the proper mix ture, ground in oil by machinery; same proportions as used by the U. S. Govern ment. Yours truly. 37 F. W. DEVOE & Co. P. S. —Patterson Bros, sell our paint in your section. A Novel Feature.
