Lexington S. C.
Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, contractors
and builders, Morgan City, La,
have painted Devoe for 3 or 4 years.
They say it takes less gallons Devoe
than of any other paint they have
used. That mean9 that a job costs less
with Devote; not only for paint., for
laboi as well.
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,
