Weldon, N. C.
Dear Sir: Two years ago the estate
of the late Congressman Scott, of Erie,
Pa., painted 24 Rolling mill houses one
coat of Devoe at a saving of 1 1 per eent.
for paint (lead and nil wu after the
job.)
Tha'a how the tale reads. We infer
what really happened.
The buyer, at usual, went by the
cost of paint; got bids. Lead-and-oi!
bid low and gues-ed the quantity low; the
saving was only 11 per cent.
Nobody acemt to h"ve thought of
this: tbe painting costs two or three
times u much as the paint. How much
did we save on the painting? Don't
know.
The tale ends with this: We often
refer ioquirers to those houses, for wear
of Devoe.
That's a good enough story; but no
body knows what it ia. Our only diffi-
eulty it wtnt of paint-intelligence.
Youn truly,
