| Letter to C. A. Jacobson.
Monticello, Ga.
Dear Sir: Todd & Downing,
contractors and builders, Morgan
City, La., have painted Devoe for
3or 4 years. They say it takes lest
gallons Devoe than of any other
paint they have used. That means
that 2 job costs less with Devoe;
not only for paint, for labor as well.
They paint nothing else, Devoe
exclusively,
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear of Devoe and
others; oversight, may be; perhaps
too soon for that. But Devoe is the
strongest paint; that’s why least gal
lons; best wear, same reason. Least
cost and longest time between jobs,
Yours truly,
