Dear Sir : There is going to lie, from
now on, in Middlcburgh, a good deal
of painting done, that will last In good
condition from 3 years up 10 years is
common; we know of it good in 15; and
we know no limit it seems to Ik1 likely
to last as long as tho house lusts, iu
favorable conditions.
Tho painter that uses this paint will
get all the business he can do.
Dcvoe lead aud ziuc is the paint. It
looks as good as any; costs uo more;
and is ready no tinting or mixing to
do. .
The zinc Is ground iu with the lead
by machinery you can't do that.
Test it yourself, if you like; but
Ihero's plenty of evidence for it. We
take the risk of how It turns out there
is 110 rUk.
Do you want this work?
Yours truly,
