You sell shoes, we make paint; perhaps we can do a good turn to ourselves, you and we, by R wnp pin g experiences. We began 152 years ago in a little shop j a few minutes' walk from where we are now ; a great many things have happened, we don't remember them all. We made j as good paint as we oould and learned to j make better. We are the oldest now; we don't know whether we had any teacher pr not; it's so long ago; if we bad, he's gone and forgotten. We should have been forgotten If we hadn't made Hood paint and friends. Ton boy your shoes; you have an ad vantage in that; if you make a mistake you oan stop it quiok ; if you make a hit you oan push it quick. We've had to go Blow; it's hard to piok out one's own mistakes, and nothing but fun to oorreot the mistakes of others. You know where to go for leather that j keeps its shape, feels good, looks new, and wears a long time. What a comfort it is to be comfortable from making one's | customers comfortable! We also have a unique advantage unique, you know, means that nobody else bas anything like it. We make strong paint that takes less gallons, saves | half the cost of painting your house, and | it's like that leather of yours for wear. It is all paint and the strongest of paint. Paint is usually adulterated and weak. We're very old, but we make young paint ! One gallon is better than two, if it has the stuff in it. Yours truly, F. W. De voe A Co., 2 New York. J. W.
