They paint nothing else, Devoe exclusively. Thev have said nothiner about the comparative wear of Devoe and others; oversight, may be;/perhap9 too scon for that. But Devoe is the strongest paint; that's why least gallons; best wear, same reason. Least cost and longest time between jobs. Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. P. S.
