Dear Sir: You know some thing about the value of paint around a farm. It’s a sign of thrift as well as a protection to property. The better the paint, the greater the thrift and the protection. A farmer near Whitewater, Wis.,was going to paint his house, and it required $18.75 worth of lead and oil to do it. Our agent, G. W. Sperbeck, sold him Devoe lead-and-zinc Paint; ten gallons cost him $1600 and he had a gallon left; net cost: $14 40 for Devoe paint against $18.75 for lead and oil. He was so pleased with the job and the saving that he told all his neighbors about it, and they have since painted with Devoe lead-and-zine Paint. You see what thrift and pro tection mean when they’re Devoe. Yours truly F. W. Devoe Co. New York and Chicago. P.8.—W. V. Hutchins Son cell.our paint.
