Dear Sir: As a paroner you probably use Jed and oll, and would naturally object to Devoe lead and zinc. A house ought to be patted once in three years. Six years would require more work and cost. A quick doctor is preferred, and so is a painter who lasts longer. If you paint with Devoe, your work may last six to seventeen years, much longer than lead and oil. Devoe promises durability as a sales point, while the cough remedy is also advertised at the end.
