C, Dear ytfir: If we sell- Devoe to paint your town, your road won't have so much freight to handle? It takes 10 gallons to paint a fair size house, and that house won't want painting again for 5 or 10 years. That's frue in a way; but people you know, rather like fresh i ai ut, ana they paint for nothing but looks sometimes. That bouse would take 12 or 13 gal lons of almost any other paint than Devoe, and would have to he painted again in half that tune. Ten years is a very loug time for a paint to waar; and five isn't short. Which makes the most freight, a 10 or 20-gallen paint? 5 or 10year paint? But the 10-gallon paint is the 10-year paint; and the 20 gallon paint is the 5-year paint. Which makes the most freight? Ask your paint-dealer which he'd rather sell, and which he could sell the most of. Ask your painter which he'd rather ;paiut; whether good or bad paint is gcod for his business; which is good paint, the 10 or 15-gal lon paint; which pays most freight, and which pays most wages. Which vi i you buy yourself, the 10-gallon iC-year, or 20-gallon 5-year paint? Yo ti rs truly F W DEVORE & CO. Edgefleld Mercantile Co. 20 Come and see our Iceland Ice Cream Freezers. May & Prescott.
