LETTER TO .M11-SJJTJ1 PHELPS,
Kings tree, S. C.
Dear Sir: It takes numerous visits
from salesmen to establish u paim
agency in a town. Several well painted
sample houses do the business
quickly, and therefore in your town,
we intend to spend money in FREE
PAINT, rather than on salesmen's
visits.
Any house owner who sends us tlie
the measurements of his house, will
'it once receive tasty coloi combinations,
and at the same time we will
tell hirn how many gallons of paint
we will give him "for nothing."
Our house was established in ' 57"
Been making L. & M. Paint 30 years
Sold Five Million Pounds last year.
Ask any Mercantile Agency or Bank
about our Capital and Imputation.
L. & M. Paint needs the addition of
linseed oil, covers better, and lasts
longer than white lead. You will be
glad that you investigated. Very
truly.
