Here-'s something every painter and
boilder ought to know.
Mr J Hall, Sheffield, Pa, painted two
bouses, 5 years ago, lead -an d -oi 1; took
49 gallons. Last year, he painted Deroe;
bought 40 gallons; had 10 left.
He is one of thousands. The knowledge
is getting about pretty generally,
i tlgtt Devoe goes further than anything
i else. 1
Have you found it out iu your own
K experience?
If How much further?
v Suppose a job amounts to 10,000
n square feet; how much less Devoe
E cojpld yon boy ?
I Is ifc as easy to paint? Does it cost
k anyjnore or less to put-on by the galEfbo
than anything else? how much?
Hft If it costs no more to put-on Devoe
Hby the gallon, it costs less by the foot,
-you know; for the gallon does more
I feto. How moph less, do you find it,
ftnrwages? ^
Lasts say, twice as long; that is the
owner's gain; but perhaps yea reckon
K Byonrs; some do; The time, when
that coznes-iD, is when he gives-out
the next job. Who gets it?
