Letter to Mr. Austin Moore.

Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir: ‘‘lt costs as much to put on poor paint as good”—a common saying and true —it cost much more to put-on poor paint; more gallons. Poor paint is paint and barytes or paint and sand or paint and lime or paint and chalk or paint and water; these are the usual cheats; there are others. It takes more gallons of paintand a-cheat than’of paint; and the cost of the'Jlabor of |painting is so much a gallon cost as much as another, for labor. This is the way to reckon your costs for this year; but how about next year? Paint Devoe, and next year costs nothing; year after nextjthe same; the same for several yeais. Paint anything else, and your costs recur according to what you paint-with. Some of the mixtures wear one year; some two some three. It three times four time, five times, sis much to paint Stith a cheat as co paint with Devoe. Yours truly, Fr—WTDevoe & Co., New York and Chicago. P. 8. B. F. Fendig sells our paint
