Savings Bank writes : "Nine years ago I paint ed my house with your paint. It wore so well, I want to use It again." That's nothing wonderful except for the fact that the soft coal region of Pennsylvania is pretty hard on paint with its oil, smoke and grime. All we see in it is that Devoe is good for nine years sometimes. There are thousands of people that know it, and millions thnt don't. There's the rub ! We print for the millions; we want to make paint for the millions. Mr. Cashier, do you know that Devoe lead and zinc is worth twice as much as old-fashion painter's paint, lead and oil, and costs no more? Is 100 per cent a fair prollt In your business? Three-quarters of the people paint lead and oil mixed by hand; while the U. S. Government use lead, zinc and oil ground together by machinery same proportions as Devoe lead and Zinc. The majority never is right about anything. Yours Truly. F. W. Dkvoe & Co. G. A. K. ENCAMPMENT. Hrdureil llnlrs to Mlylurir via I'fan- Hj lvniiin KnllroHd.
