Letter to M. S. IVitherspoon,
Lancaster, S. C.
Dear Sir: Ten yearn ago, there was
me pure paint and 200 adulterated;
here are now eight pure,200 adulterated.
about half of the latter shortneasura
heaidee.
There is still but one best, and the
lifferenoe is ten gallons Devoegoes as
ar as eleven next-best?$5?in every
en gallons.
A new word has come-up in paint;
t is strong. Strong paint goes further
ind wears longer; weak paint takes
nore gallons and wears-out sooner.
The proper cost of a 10-gallon job is
iftO. Paint that taken 11 gallons makes
t $55. Paint that takes 12 gal. makes
t $00. Paint that taken 13 gal. makes
t $05. Paint that takes 20 gal. makes
t $100.
The $50 job wears twice as long as
he $100 These figures are not prelise;
they are round. The 10-gallon
)aint is Devoe.
