Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 38, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 March 1906 — Letter to Mr. J. P. Warner. [ARTICLE]

Letter to Mr. J. P. Warner.

Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir: Lead-and-oil is not good paint, don’t wear; the rule is, as everyone knows,’repaint in three y—■*- ——— Devoe lasts six, in the same way —allow wide margin in all such statements. What does it mean, to last? It means the same with both. As to covering: that's another. Here’s an instance. Mr. J J. Hall. Sheffield, Pa., painted two houses, lead-and-oil; took 40 gallons. Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe for the same two houses; returned 10 gallons. The paint, that covers, lasts; it's all paint, true paint, and fullmeasure. Lead and oil is all paint but not good paint- the lead wants zinc. Better paint Devoe. Your truly, F. W, Devoe & Co. New York and Chicago. P. S. B. Fendig, sells our paint. LO3T—Last Saturday, a silver hat pin, with letter W in red enamel center. Finder please return to Miss Edith Marshall
