Os course,
ciy paint you put on
is better than no paint.
But for
long and satis{actory service
we
always recomm:nd
Devoe Lead
and Zinc Paint because
we
can
guarantee
it to
be
absolutely
pure.
It contains
no whiting,
no silica, or
any
other
worthless
adulterants.
That’s
why Devoe paint goes
so much
farther and
lasts
so
much
longer than
erdinary
paint.
Come in and let us show you why it’s real
egonomy
for you to paint Devoe paint now.
