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.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.,
i:; New Y'ork.
P. S. Patterson Bros, sell our paint.
