Dear Sir: The cost of labor in paint ing a house is three times the coat of the paint. You seem to save a little when you buy a lower priced paint, but you certainly add to the cost of labor when you pay for spreading more gallons. ' You don't even save oil the paint. Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little more than mixed paints, but it takes fewer gallons, and the cost is actually less Wears longer too —longer than mixed paints, longer than lead and oil. You don't save a cent. Mr, C. Loch, a painter in Magnolia, Miss, writes: After years of experiments with mixed paints, 1 And tbat your paint covers more surface to the gallon than any I have ever used. For density and wearing qualities it cannot be excelled. Compared with lead and oil: A honse belonging to the late President of the Croton River Bank, at Brewsters. N. Y., (cost $31,000) was painted with lead and oil in 'B4 at a cost of #4OO. In 'B7 three years—jt was repainted with Devoe at a cost of $350 In '97 the house was still all right Results: lead and oil—coat S4OO, wear three years: Devoe—cost $350, wear ten years.
