Mr J J Hail, Sheffield, Pa, painted two houses, 5 years ago, 'ead-and-oil; took 40 gallons. L~ast year, lie painted Devoe; bought 40 gallons; had 10 left, He is one of thousands. The knowedge is getting about-pretty enerally, that Devoe goes fiirther than anything else. Have you found it out in your >wn experience? How much further? ' Suppose a job amounts 10,000 quare fe.et: how much less Ueve Is if as easy to paint? Does it cost any more or less to piut-on by the gallon than anything else? how much? If it costs no more to put-on Devo by the gallon, it costs less by the foot, you know; for the gallon does more feet. How much less, do Tou find it, for Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the owner's gain; but perhaps o, reckon it yours: some do. The time, when that comes-mn, is wen be gives-out the next job. Who gets it?
