Dear Sir: The way to reckoo tho cost of paiut is to put both costs together; the cost of the paint and the cost of putting it on. It would save this country ? hundreds of millions of dollars a 3 year ; it would save you alone ?s (if you happen to bo a victim) several dollars a voar. n t - * - oee now u wonts. it costs as much to put-on ono paint as anothor, don't it ? Ye9, if you U9e the samonum- Jj ber of galloon. Well, don't I ? j No, you'll use twice as many # gallons of adulterated paint as of j Devoe ; and you've got to pay twice as much for putting it on. g Mr. N. Avery, Delhi, N.
