Boozer & Son. Newberry, S. C. Dear Sirs: You understand grind ing wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn. We understand grinding white-lead and white-zinc. The two sorts of grinding are not much alike. Very likely oats and wheat behave very differently in the mill, and you manage them differently-we know very little about your work: don't need to; we'd rather depend on you. But we paint your house and mill, and out-buildings; perhaps you'd be glad to know about grinding paint; for some people mix their paint with a stick in a tub. We use lead-and -zinc-nothing else. And our zinc is as tough as your oats. Tub mixers imagine they mix it. They don't; they can't. Takes grinding to mix lead-and-zinc. They are both white; when are they thoroughly mixed? Tub-mixers don't know it; but tub-mixed lead and-zinc is a streak of one alongside of a streak of the other. We grind as you grind; and our paint is lead-and-zinc ground togeth er, mixed intimately; it is neither lead nor zinc; but lead-and-zinc; each lost in the other; both lost in the mix ture. Lead chalks and zinc peels, lead-and-zinc ground together hang on and protect each* other. We take care of your mill outside, you take care of it inside. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. The Newberry Hardware Co., sells our paint. EVER WATCHFUL. A Little Care Will Save Many Ne"w berry Readers Future Trouble.
