Letter to Mr. Phillips.
Edgefleld, S. 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

His Dear Old Mother.
"My dear old mother, who is
now eighty three yearn old thrives
on Electric Bitters," writes W B
Branson, of Dublin, Ga. "She has
taken them for about two years
and enjoys an excellent appetite,
feels strong and sleeps well."
That's the way Electric Bitters
affect the aged, and the same hap
py results follow in all cases of
female weakness and general de
bility. Weak, puny children too,
are greatly strengthened by them.
Guaranteed also % for stomach
troubles. 5?c. G. Penn & Son
