Dear Sir : Thomas J. Bannon, ei
druggist, Westerly, R. I., says: ^
Westerly painters expect a w
gallon of paint to cover 19 sets
of bliuds ; Devoe covers 25 ; there
is no such thing as rubbing this c
out. =
(The usual recconing is for a
gallon to cover 16. We suspect
the Westerlv people don't wear I
their paint till it gets very shab*
by.)
Devoe covers more ; of course,
we know that; we know why j;
too; its all paint and full-meas*
