be primed every time she wants
a drink?

around the field and-allow her to
watch the poultry out of a poorly
fenced garden?

on the barn floor on a heap where

them for her to sit up at night to
patch?

the poultry feed to her with a
pityful hand?

Least Gallons
That's the thing to go-by in paint least 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 7 know it, better look-out.
ff 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 no't-adulterated in the United States;
200 adulterated; 100 short-measure; one Devoe.
Take your choice. . . '
If anyone doubts any statement above, here's
theproof
"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.
