Letter to Mr. Hiram Day.

Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir: A great many® people will see your house i j the course of the next ten years. We want it to show whatDevoelead-and-zinc will do. We should like you to paint it, and then not paint it for ten years—unless it needs repainting. We’d like such a sample as that in every town in tha country—r-with a notice about it in the local paper: “Mr. ’s house was painted ten years ago with Devoe lead-and-zinc, and has never been repainted. The color is not as bright as it was; but the paint is as perfect a coat as ever, to keep out water.” A good lead-and-oil job is expected to last three years; it is a good one that lasts ,three years; it generally does not. Devoe lead-and-zinc lasts twice as long, if not:“If you have any fault to find with this paint, cither now in patting it on, or hearafter in the wear, tell your dealer about it. “We authorize him to do what is right at our expense.” We want your house as a sample and you as a witness. Yonrs truly F. W. Devoe & Co., New York and Chicago. B. F. Fendig sells oar paint.
