Letter to Kirk Jones. Butler, PH. Dear Sir: Here's and interesting story about paint. We give you the name of the story teller; write him and find out all about it. Mr. John Hanna, grocer, of Girard, Penn., painted his house with Devoe Lead and Zinc paint. He thought it expensive, but he bought it. After finishing the job, he brought back near ly half the paint and said it was the cheapest job of painting he ever did. Writs to Mr. Bu»+ Young and Mr. E. H. Hiler of the same place. Also to Mr. H. H. Stephenson, Cashier of Oil City (Pa.) Savings Bank. It is the cheapest paint in the world because it is all paint. It covers most surface to the gallon, and it wears long est. There is going to be a lot of this paint used in Butler. When it .gets a foot hold, it never lets up; and the painter who uses Devoe Lead and Zinc is going to save money for his patrons.
