Dear Sir: Thomas J. Brannon,
druggist, Westerly, R. I., says:
Westerly painters expect a gal
gon of paint to cover 19 sets of
blinds; Devoe covers 25; there is
no such thing as rubbing this
out.
(The usual reckoning is for a
gallon to cover 19. We
suspect the Westerly people don’t
wear their paint till it gets very
shabby.)
Devoe covers more; of course,
we know that; we know why
too; its all paint and full meas
ure. Yours truly

two slips back to every step
ahead, anything else but a beau
tiful snow, came down between
midnight and morn on the 9th
