LETTER TO MR. R. F. DRUM
MOND, NEWPORT, ARK.
_
Dear Sir: Good yarn: How
we got our agent at Delhi, N. Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents
for--, we mustn’t
tell names. We wanted ’em.
Paine was painting his big Colo
nial house. Said it took 10 gal
lons of white for the trim.
We sent him ten gallons and
said: if you get it all on, no pay;
if you have any left, return it
and pay for the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and
and took the agency. Four or five
years ago. He knows now that
his old paint was and is adulter
ated; that’s why it took ten gal
lons to equal six of ours.
Go by the name; there is but
| one name to go by; Devoe lead
and-zinc.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
