Letter to Wlllinmston dinning
and Milling Co
Williamston, N. C,
Dear Sirs: Mr N Avery, Delhi,
N Y, had two houses exactly alike,
and painted them: one Devoe lead
and-zinc; the other barytes-and
zinc. He paid same price for both
paints.
He used six gallons of lead-and
zinc, 12 gallons barytes-^nd-zince.
He paid $lB for painting lead
and-zinc, $36 for painting barytep
and-zinc.
The total cost of the lead-and
zinc job was $27; the total cost of
the barytes-and-zinc job was $54-
He didn't know he was buying
barytes; the dealer told him that
paint was as good as Devoe
A fair example of how it gener
ally conies-out, when you buy
"something just as good." Better
go by the name: the name; and the
name is Devce.
Yours truly,
