Your painter probably knows
a good deal more about paint
than you do; but he doesn’t
know more about it than we do.
We advise Devoe Lead-and
Zinc Paint in the interest of
both of you. In yours, because
you’re going to pay for the job;
:
I
i in his, because he's going to do
| it.
Your job will cost you less if
'you use Devoe Lead-and-Zinc
I Paint; and he will do the job
| easier and better. You make
I money by it and he makes a
; painter reputation.
