Letter to Mr. Henry Luers,

Reasselaer, Ind. Dear Sir. A gallon saved is $1 or $5 earned Devoe saves 2 or 3 gallons in 10. How muoh is it worth a gallon? A gallon s ived saves the painting too; and both together ooats $4 or $5 —$4 where labor is cheap; $5 where labor is dear. Our agents in Bridgeport, Conn, Hubbell & Wade Co, tells us; “There are a great many workingmen’s houses here They used to paint lead-and-oil and take |ten gallons. We have been selling them ten gallons Devoe lead-and—-zinc, aid have had, in every ig-* stance, two gtllons returned,” The proportion is often higher than that; we have known it five iu ten; but that is exceptional. This is the explanation' Devoe is groand by machinery, and is gronnd fine; lead-and-oil is mixed by band, and isn’t ground at all, ‘ f Yonrs truly, F. . Devoe &Co New York and Chioago P. 8 B F. Pendig sells our paint,
