Letter to Ed Gerock
New Bern, N C.
Dear Sir: You ask how many square
feet a gallon will cover. Depends on
condition of building.
There Is a great deal of lying on this
point. The stock claim of lying paints Is
300 square feet, two coats. It's a lie-, as
rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 600, our agents
think. We think 800 too low and 600
too high; though doubtless, they both oc
cur. How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; we guess 100 to 400.
The truth Is found In anothor compar
Ison. Devoe is all paint, true paint,
strong paint, and full-measure; the oth
ers in genersl are, at the best, diluted,
adulterated and short-measure. They
cover according to body and measure
Yon can't paint with clay lime chalk
sand barytes water or air no body In
them. Go by Devoe.
