Letter to Abee & Edwards.
Hickory, N. C.
Dear Sin Todd & Downing, con
tractors and builders, Morgan City, La.,
have painted Devoe for 3 or 4 years.
They say it takes less gallons Devoe
than of any other paint they have used.
That means that a job costs less with
Devoe; not only for paint, for labor as
well.
They paint nothing else, Devoe ex
clusively.
They We said nothing about the
comparative wear at Devoe and others;
oversight, may be; perhaps too soon
for that. But Devoe is the strongest
paint; that's why least gallons; best
wear, same reason. . Least cost and
longest time between jobs.
Yours truly,

OLD PEOPLE NEED
VINOL.
It Strengthens and Vitalizes.
With old age comes feebleness and
loss of power; the organs act more slow
ly and less effectually; the blood is thin
sluggish and watery; digestion is weak
and food is not assimilated as it used to
be.
Vinol repairs worn tissues and checks
the natural decline. It tones up the
digestive organs, assimilation, makes
rich, red blood, and strengthens every
organ in the body. In this natural
manner Vinol replaces weakness with
strength.
Vinol is not a patent medicine but a
delicious cod liver preparation which
contains all the medicinal body build
ing elements of cod liver oil in a con
centrated form, taken from fresh cods*
livers, the useless oil is eliminated and
tonic iron added.
It is because we know so weU of what
Vinol is made that wo offer to return
money if it fails' to benefit. Menzies
