Letter to John Berg:.
Butler, Pa.
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.

nine feet below the sidewalk its average
depth from the former level of the top
of the lot will be about 16 feet —at the
rear end it will be over 18 feet deep
from the top. The contractor will
move about 2500 cubic yards of earth:
and haul about 7000 loads—for which

makes some money on his contract.
The level of the floor of the cellar will
be about three feet below that of the
sewer on Main street opposite, and that
necessitated the running the sewer from
the building down the street nearly to
Jefferson before making connections.
Most of the clay from the cellar is being

the Pan-American Exposition on above
date. Train will leave Butler at 10-12
A. M.
There is no question that the Pan-
American Exposition is the grandestand
most complete ever given on this con
tinent. In many ways it excells every
similar enterprise in the history of the

fact that everything can be easily seen
and comprehended, but to get an ade
quate idea of the immensity and beauty
of its wonderful display it must be
visited. The fare from Butler is $4.25
for the round trip. Tickets will be
good going only on train sceduled above
and for return passage on any regular
train leaving Buffalo prior to midnight
of Friday, May 17th. They will not be
good in sleeping or chair cars in either

House for the past month it is with
genuine pleasure we notice the perfor

play is a sterling drama of rare merit
straying from molodraina to refined
comedy, and telling the story of a
North Carolina mountain fued in an
original and striking manner. The
company is evenly balan-ed and gives a
highly meritorious performance
