Dear Sir: Yon area teacher: hero'
one for your boys;
If the painting costs two or three
times as much as tbe paint, and one
paint goes twice as far as another, how
ninth are those two paints worth?
If Devoe is worth $1 50 or $1.75 a gal
lon. how much is the other one worth?
How much is a gallon of paint worth
anyhow?
The answer is; Depends on the
P AIN <- . . . , ■
The reason is: paint ISII t always paint
There are true aud false paint and
short measure
How much is a short-measure gallon
worth ? How much is false paint worth ?
How much is Devoe worth?
There are millions a year in the an
swer to this last one.
