Letter to Charles Steach,

Dear Sir: You are to paint
Mr. 's house for , we
won't tt 11 your private affairs
no matter what figure, it's a fair
prico.
What paint'll you use ?
We're thinking of one, all paint
and as strong as a paint can be;
it'll take about 15 gallons, $75 for
paint and painting.
Another, half paint; it'll take
about 30 gallons of that, if 1 50 for
paint and painting.
The least gallons paint, of
course, will wear a long time; the
other is good while it lasts.
Least gallons, least cost, best job
It isn't every trade that lets a
man do a cheap job and. make
money and friends like that.
Yours truly
