Letter to B. F. Foster, d
Union. S. C. 0
Dear Sir: You ask how many square 1
feet a gallon will co/er. Dejieuds on c
condition of building.
There is a great deal of lying on this h
point. The st^ck claim of lying paints r
is 300 square feet, two coats. It's a lie, 1
as a rule. e
Devoe covers .100 to .100 our agents n
think. We think 300 too low and 000 t
I/Vi liinli' tlimicrh ilnllhl.lftm thftv hottl h
v"" " *P> -7 """O" ) y ? ?i
occur.
How much the other paints cover is a
equally doubtful; wo guess 100 to 400. g
The truth is found in auother cotnpar- 0
ison. Devoe is all paint, tiue paint, t
strong print and full measure; the others .
in general are at the best, diluted, adul
teratod and short measure They cover r
according to body and measu-e. You 8
can't paiut with clay, lime, chalk, sand. c
barytas, water or air?no body in them. '
Go by Dev.?e. I

he caught a glimpse of him in hiding,
when upon he and Policeman Evans arrested
