We are pretty well known. We are no infant—l4B years old—began business on the little island (New York) id 1754. Having bfeu making paint and a noise in in the world ever sinoe. And there isn’t a man. alive or dead, that wouldn't testify for us, if you should stir him up. We grind lead and zinc in linseed oil by machinery, over handwork. Painters mix their paint by band —they imagine they do—they half mix it. We grind together: whole-mix Better and oosts less money. We are the very beet friend the painter has, if he knows it or not. He can’t afford not to know it. We are the painter's customer’s friend. We save them both money. “B. F. Fendig is Deroe Agent of Rensselaer.” Yours truly, F, W Dkvob & Co.
