Dear Sir: You sell good goods and
give full measure.* It's a pleasant way
of doing and it pays, besides.
We do it for the same reason, and it
has made us the foremost paint-house m
the United States.
Short weights and adulteration are
tie vices of business. They are a natural
response to the demand for^haapevery
kind of world.
You knowand we know that itdoean't
pay. People, change their grocer or
paint man as soou a3 they find it out.
We don't kuow about groceries?you
tell your people about them?the fullmeasure
and unadulterated paint is Devoe
I^ead and Zinc.
Fewer gallons?takes less Devoe Lead
and Zinc than of mixed paints to paint
a house. Wears longer?twice as long
as lead and oil mixed by hand.
