Letter to Messrs. Coen & Brady

Rensselaer, Ind., Dear Sira: You give full weight of good ooal. So do we—23l inches to a gallon of paint that lasts twice as long as old-fashion painter’s paint, lead and oil; and allow oar agent to sell it on this guarantee: “If you have any fault to fiqd with this paint, either now in patting it on, or hereafter in the wear, tell you dealer about it.” “We authorize him to do what is right at our expense” We know a dealer in coal, who delivered his ooal with a publio weigher’s tioket (full weight,) invited complaints, and aotually exchanged the ooal when complaint was made.' He had half the business; a dozen firms had the other half. We are 148 years old, but not too old to sell paint as that dealer sold coal, We like to pay damages —when there are any. “B. F. Fendig is Devoe Agent of Rensselaer.” Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co.
