Dear Sir : You own several houses.
Your reason for painting Devoe lead
zinc and should be several times as
strong as the man who owns hut one.
Lead and oil was good enough paint
till the merits were found out. It was
profitable to paint lead and oil-it was
then hut not now.
The addition of zinc to lead makes
Devoe lead and zinc last twice as long
and cost no more; costs less a trille
leas, not much. Lead and oil is mixed
by hand; Devoe lead and zinc by ma
chinery Might as well make one's
shirts by hand as mix paints. Say it
costs 100 a house to paint lead and oil;
and it lasts three years.
Say it costs the same for Devoe;
which lasts six years it will bust ten
years, In favorable conditions, unless
you want to repaint to change the
color.
The costs : lead and oil alsiut 80 a
year ; Devoe 16 probably less.
Yours truly,
