Dear Sirs: When yon see a well dressed man, you like to say: "There'sa sample of my clothes. That man is worth two of himself as he was when he came to me." We have the same feeling. Oar paint on a house is worth twice as much as old-fashion painter's paint, lead-and-oil. It looks the same when first pnt on. In three months it don t. In three years it decidedly don't. Lead-and-oil chalks off in three years: it is considered a first-rate job that lasts three years. Deyoe lead-and-zinc is about as good in three years as it was the day the painter left it. Zinc is the secret of it: no secret at all. A good many painters know zinc; some mix it in with their lead We grind it in: not a little: good deal. It's the zinc and the grinding that does it. Yon can't mix zinc by hand. We grind it in by machinery. Painters are finding ns ont, though some painters are slow. Yon know that it pays a good man to wear good clothes. How many cus tomers have yon that know it? Yours truly F W DEVOE & Co P. S. The Butler Decorating Co. sells our paint. 82 Pie Social.
