Letter to Mr. Henry Amsler

Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Bir: We suspect you’d like the tale, bow a woman beat two hardware dealers in Girard, Pa. We tried our besfTb get those men to sell Devoe lead-and-ziuo in that bright town; and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs. E. R. Bow. man, druggist. They said they couldn’t sell paint for more than $1 25 a gallon. Mrs. Bowman can. She has sold about all the paint that has been sold there sinoe

She knew Devoe; had sold our artists’ materials. Had some sense and foroe. besides; she easily learned that cheap is dear in paint, and told the people. Mr. BnttYanng bought a gallon Devoe for rooms that had always gallon of other painthad half left.

Mr. E. H. Hiler, jeweler, painted Devoe, and says it goes further —no particulars, Mr. John Hanna, grocer, thought it expensive before he bought it; brought back nearly half of his paint, and said it was the cheapest job he ever had. Mrs. Bowman reports universal satisfaction, So much for a cheappaint town with a bright woman in it.

Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & 00. 89 New York and Chicago. P. S. B. F Fendig sells our paint.
