Dear Sir: Perhaps you are
going to paint your house, and don't
iu Devoe. We'll make you an
oiler :
Paint half your house lead and
oil ; the other halt Devoe lead and
and zinc.
In three years the lead and oil
inlf will bu hungry lor paint ; the
Devoe half will turn water as well
as when new.
If not, our agent will stand by
this :
"If you have any fault to find
with this paint, either now in the.
painting or hereafter in the werr
tell your dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is
right at our expense."
Devoe lead and zinc holds color
better than lead j tin ns water twice
as long..
Yours truly,
