Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if you j
could find a way to Nhavo your customers
in less time, for loss cost, und make
lho shave last twice or threo times as
long.
Yon wouldn't shave the same person
so many times or got so much of his !
money; but the whole town would bo
talking about you, and everybody would
come to you for a shave.
Ue.oo lead-aud-ciuo is exactly that in
paints. It takes fewer gallons, and it !
wears longer. Costs less for the job, I
and you don't have to do it again for i
years and years?six years at least.
"Fewer gallons; wears longer." Takes I
fewer gallons to paint a house with Do- j
voe lead-and lino than with mixed '
paints; and it weurs longer than mixed
paints or load und oil. ?
