Dear Sir: How two men differ! N. J Avery, Delhi, N. Y., had two houses ! painted two ways; the hou9e9 alike, j same painter, different paints. One j paint 6 gallons; the other 12. A dealer there who wa9 selling .the j 12-gallon paint, threw it out and put- i' in the C-gallon paint. Do you see why? The less-gallon9 ! paint co9t les9 for the job by 6 gallons j of paint and 6 days'labor; $10.75 for I paint and $12 to $24 for labor (accord- | ing to painters' wage9 $2 to $4 a day.) A dealer in paint at Malone, N. Y., j was selling this 6-gallon paint, was offered the 12-gallon paint for 15c ie9s a gallon, and took it! To make that extra 15c a gallon, he saddles a loss of $22.75to$34.75 a job on his customers. What if they find it out? The people had better look-out for that $22.75 or $34.75, whichever it is? we don't know what painters' day wages are there. The two paints are Devoe and another sold at the same price by the gallon. Will you figure-out that 12gallon paint: what a man can afford to pay for a gallon of it? The answer is (if you figure it right) taking wages $2 a day: A man could afford to put-on that paint if somebody pays him 12>?c a gallon; and, taking wages $4 a day, he must get $1.21 a gallon. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S.?The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. \ .
