Letter to S. T. Davis.
Dear Sir: Hore's an interesting story
about paint. We givo you the name of I
the story-teller; write him and find out
all about it.
Mr. John Ilanna, grocer, of Girard,
Ponn., painted his house with Devoe
Lead and Zinc paint. He thought it ex
pensive, but bought it. After finishing
the job, he brought back nearly half the
paint and said it was the cheapest job
of painting ho ever did.
Write to Mr. Burt Young and Mr. E.
If. Hilor of tho same place. Also to
Mr. H. H. Stephenson, Cashier of Oil
City (ra.) Savings Bank.
It is the choapest paint in the world
becauso it is all paint. It covers most
surface to tho gallon, and it wears long
est.
There's going to bo a lot of this paint
used in Laurens. Whon it gets a foot
hold, it nevor lets up; and the painter
who uses Dovoe Lead and Zino is going
to save money for his patroos.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,

Men We want to Talk To
We believe that if every man in Laurens and
County was a Clothing expert?if every man in
Laurens and County knew the positive facts in the
case?that every man in Laurens county would
come straight to us for all his Clothing. This is
not mere braggadocio?it is not mere business
bombast?it is logical, easily-proven fact.

"To tho Man Wrho Wants to Dress Econom
ically."

tion."
"To the Man Who's Something of an Expert
on Dross."
"To tho Man Who's Not an Export on Dress."
"To tho Man Who's Uoon Disappointed
Elsewhere."
"To tho Man Who's Novor Been to Sco Us."

Pretty Women

If they didn't take proper care
of their beauty, how long would it last? Even
a homely woman is attractive if she is "Well
Groomed." We have all the little requisites for

Among them is
Dodson's Pond Lily Cream,
Which is the best preparation we know anything

you try it.
