Dear Sir: There are several ways of cheating in miik. An old-fash- ioned way is to water it. Nobody waters it now A bett- r way is to take out the cream—rich mi k with the cream taken out is as good as poor milk with its cream ail in. But we needn’t go into particulars. You don’t rob your milk and your customers. Paint is as easy as milk (o cheat with. Good paint is as rare as good milk ; for human nature is much the same in milkmen and paint men. You are just and true with your miik; so are we with our paint. De voe Lead and Zinc is twice as good us mixed paints: There’s twice as much butter iu it. Mr. J. T. Ladd, -Cheraw, S. C., writes: When Mr. hvuiis painted his house with Deyoe Tend and Zinc, he figured on the basis of your claim that a gallon will cover 300 square feet, two coats. He had enough left to piiint three larire rooms, ^and was so pleased that, he lias used Devoe Lead and Zinc on two other houses. Youfs truly, F. W. Devoe & To . New York.
