Rensselaer had two eminent Republican political visitors today. They were Judge John H. Gillett of Hammond, now on the Supreme Court bench and candidate for reelection, and Nat U.

Letter to Warner Bros.

£! " jßensselaer, Ind. ( Dear Sirs: We want an agent in your town for the foremost paint in the world: Devoe Beady Paint. We bespeak a few words to say how much more this means than simply tbe sale of good paint. Our agent has to administer this agreement with every customer. “If you have any fault <o find with this paint, either now in putting it on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer about it ” “We authorize him to do what is right at our expense.” We become, you see, the partner of every man that uses our paint; and the partnership lasts as long as he chooses to continue it. Suppose 100 jobs of painting are done with Devoe Ready Paint this year; and some of them don’t turn out satisfactory two or three years from now. Our agent has got to “do what is right at our 1 expense.”

Of course this means that we know our paint is going to turn out all right. We have been in business, we and our fathers in business, 145 years; have made a great deal of paint; and have dealt with thousands and thousands of people. Are not in the least afraid to “do what is right” when a job goes wrong. There is such a thing as honest business yet in the world. Yours truly, F. W. Dbvor & Co.
