Letter to G. Stone
Freeport, N. Y.
Dear Sir: There are two sorts of paint: one to sell and make money, the other to paint and save money.
Who gets the money? The maker, the seller, the painter.
Where does it come from? The own¬ er, of course; he pays the painter for doing the work, and the dealer for gallons of paint; and he pays the paint- manufacturer, gallons again; more gal¬ lons, more money all round: for the owner to pay to the painter dealer and paint-manufacturer.
What's the paint that saves money? Gallons again; less gallons, less money for paint, less money for wages; a gal¬ lon of paint is $5 for wages and paint. Less gallons, less money to pay, $5 a gallon.
Two sorts of paint; less gallons and more: less money and more; $5 a gallon difference; two to one in gallons and money.
It costs twice as much to paint the average more-gallons paint as to paint Devoe. When the people find-out, it may not be quite so easy to sell ext»-av- agant paint by caling it "cheap." Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & CO.
P. S. C. Milton Foreman sells our paint.
