Dear Sir. A gentleman censured
us for addressing an open letter to him
in the papers. After we pointed out
that he was not made to endorse our
puint in the letter, and proved our
reputation and capital, lie beoame
wnr very good friend used I?. & M.
on his house,and sent an unsolicited < >
testimonial of merit. People would
view our offer of "free paint" witfc
suspicion and doubt if we did not explain
that we give several owners of
good houses presents of paint in or- , *
der that we may induce local mer
chains to take agencies. Jt you or r*
any other house-owner of your town
will tell lis dimensions of the house
von are going to paint, and how
rnaiiT coata yon wish to put on, we f
fchull be ple*sed to advise as to the ,
number of gallons we will give "free r ^
of charge," aHd suggest some harmonious
color combinations. L. & hi.
Paint went on some 50,000 houses
in "1900;" a tremendous number,
but the U. S. are very big, and then
its the only paint better and cheap*
