Dear Sir: The way to buy HI
int is to go by the name,
tero is a name never on sham
int or weak paint or ehortlasuro
paint; Devoe.
There are a hundred different F"
mes in paint. Some are sham ; J*
me weak ; some short-measa;
and some all three. ^
If there is auother such paint
Devoe lead aod zinc, we don't
ow it. There are a few fairly ^
od paints; a few ; only one
voe. A gallon Devoe is worth
rallon-and-a-half of those few. Pre
