Letter'to Mr. *L. M. Paul,I
Perry, Ga.
Dear Sir: • Offering you Paint “Free
of Charge” robs our action in ad
dressing an open letter to you of
any offence, for we really do you a
service. Naturally we have an “axe
to grind;” the quickest way to inter
est one of your merchants is to put
L. & M. Paint on the houses of two
or three solid citizens, and demon'
strate practically that it is the cheap
est and best paint made.
We will tell you how many gal
Ions of paint we will give you “for
nothing,” just as soon as you write
us with particulars as to measure
ment of house, and number of coats
required. At the same time our ex
perts will suggest very handsome
color combinations.
Banks and mercantile agencies
rate us at HIGHEST in capital and
reputation; been making L & M
Paint 30 years; sold in the last five
years, Twenty-four Million Pounds,
On account of the amount of linseed
oil that can be added to every gal
lon of the L. & M., it costs less than
pure white lead, while it lasts longer
and covers better. Write us.
Very sincerely,
Longman & Martinez,
