LETTER TO L.
Dear Ii our agent charges
on more for a gallon of
paint than somebody else, don't
think he is making more profit;
we charge him more; it costs us
more. It all paint, true paint,
and foil-measure,
No other paint is nil paint, true
paint, full-measure, so far as
we know. Thai is wrong. We
know some that are pure and full-
but weak, thin, too much
oil and too little an
honest sort of weakness; don't
know any better, maybe.
It amounts to this; so far as we
and we think we know the
American trade; there is no
name but Devon that stands
for all paint, and
right proportion. That's why it
takes less gallons and wears
longer.
Yours truly,
