Depends on condition of building. There is a great deal of lying on this point. Tho stock claim of lying paints is 300 square feet, two coats. It's a lie, as a rule. Devoo covers '300 to 500, our agents think. We think 300 too low and 500 too high; though doubtless, they both occur. How much the other paints cover is equally doubtful: we guess 100 to 500. The truth is found in another compar ison. Devoo is all paint, truo paint, strong paint and full-measure; tho others in general are, at the best, de luted, adulterated and short-measure. They cover according to body and measure. You can't paint with clay, lime ckalk sand barytcs water or air? no body in them. Co by Devoe. Yours truly, (i f. w. Devoe & Co. P.
