Least Gallons That's the thing to go-by in paintleast gallons Devoe. The strongest takes least gallons, of course; and, of course, wears longest. Costs half to three-quarters; more likely half. Depends on what you compare it with. Compared with average paint, Dovoe costs half and wears two or three times as long. Compared with the worst, Dovoe costs a third the worse your paint, the more it costs. You'll find it out when you pay for putting it on. You pay by the gallon. No matter how you pay, you pay by the gallon. You pay for putting it on by the day; but the painter paints a gallon a day; a day is a gallon; you pay by the gallon. If you don't know it, better look-out. If you want to know what a gallon costs you, put-on; add together the gallon price and the day's-work price. You pay that for every gallon you have put-on; no matter what paint; no matter what price; no matter who paints It: no matter what bargain you make. An extra gallon means weak paint, a little more money for paint, more money tor painters' wages about $5 a gallon for both), and painting again too soon. The cheap paint is Devoe; the others are dear; there are 8 not-adulterated in the United States: 200 adulterated; IOO short-measure; one Devoe. Take your choice. If anyone doubts any statement above, here's the proof He may paint half his job Devoe, the other half any paint he likes. If Devoe doesn't take less gallons and cost less money (I) for the gallons (2) for putting it on, no pay. If it does, Devoe Is the paint that makes least first cost. HULL & BENDER Sell Devoe Paint,
