Letters to Derby and Morse Lowell Mass
Dear Sirs. Shuffert Hardware Co. Hickory NC bought a car load of paint then found it measured seven pints a gallon. Returned it and credited customers for short measure. What do you think of a short measure paint. Do you think it half whitewash. Half the paints are part whitewash. Go by Devoe lead and zinc. No whiting or clay in full measure. A gallon Devoe is worth two of whitewash paint. F. W. Devoe & Co. Yours truly aus by Adams Hardware & Paint.
