Dear Sir: How two men differ! N. J
Avery, Delhi, N. Y., had two houses !
painted two ways; the hou9e9 alike, j
same painter, different paints. One j
paint 6 gallons; the other 12.
A dealer there who wa9 selling .the j
12-gallon paint, threw it out and put- i'
in the C-gallon paint.
Do you see why? The less-gallon9 !
paint co9t les9 for the job by 6 gallons j
of paint and 6 days'labor; $10.75 for I
paint and $12 to $24 for labor (accord- |
ing to painters' wage9 $2 to $4 a day.)
A dealer in paint at Malone, N. Y., j
was selling this 6-gallon paint, was
offered the 12-gallon paint for 15c ie9s
a gallon, and took it! To make that
extra 15c a gallon, he saddles a loss of
$22.75to$34.75 a job on his customers.
What if they find it out?
The people had better look-out for
that $22.75 or $34.75, whichever it is?
we don't know what painters' day
wages are there.
The two paints are Devoe and
another sold at the same price by the
gallon. Will you figure-out that 12gallon
paint: what a man can afford
to pay for a gallon of it?
The answer is (if you figure it right)
taking wages $2 a day: A man could
afford to put-on that paint if somebody
pays him 12>?c a gallon; and,
taking wages $4 a day, he must get
$1.21 a gallon.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO.
P. S.?The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells

. Calhoun County Short. ;
The Legislature at the last session
passed an act to authorize and require
the county treasurer of Orangeburg
county to pay over to the treasurer

districts now in Calhoun county.
Treasurer Fair ha* been ready to pay
this money oyer at any time, but had
no authority to do so until the above
act was passed. Calhoun county can
now get its school money held by
