Letter to T. C. Jordan,
Smithfield, N. C.
Dear Sir: Lead-and-oil is not
good paint; don't wear; the rule
is, as everyone knows, repaint in
three years.
Devoe lasts six, in the same
way?allow wide margin all such
statements. What does it mean,
to last? It means the same with
both.
As to covering: that's another.
Here's an instance.
Mr. J J. Hall, Sheffield, Da,
painted two houses, lead-and-oil;
took 40 gallons.
Last summer bought 40 gal
lons Devoe for the same two
houses; returned 10 gallons.
The paint, that covers, lasts;
it's all paint, true paint, and full
measure. Lead-and-oil is all
paint butnotgoodpaint;thelead
wants zinc Better paint Devoe.
Yours truly,
