Letter to Tom Tucker
Carbon, Texas
Dear Sir: The hardest climate for
paint is Florida; and Devoe is the
longest wearing paint in that state,
D G Smith, of Madison, Fla,
says; “I painted my mother's house
DevOc 11 years ago, and today it
looks better than other houses in
town that were painted with other
paint 3 or 4 years ago.”
Three or four and eleven.
This shows two thing: (1) the
low standad of paint in that part
of the country :"and (2) that Devoe
is the paint that wears.
It doasn’t show the whole fact;
whico is : Devoe is the paint that
takes lanst gallon to do the job,
makes first cost by a ratio of 2 to 3,
2 to 4, 2 to 5, 2 to 6, for the job.
Smith wasn’t thinking about the
cost of the job; it was done a long
time ago. He was thinxing how
well the house looked after 11 years
wear in that hot climate, and how
long it will be before painting
again.
Yours truly
