Letter to Bass Bros. Drug Co.
Abilene Texas.
Dear Sirs: Do you want to
sell Devoe lead-and-zinc for your
town and country?
The whole dootrine of it turns
on these three points :
1(1) It is all paint and true
paint:
(2) It is the strongest paint:
(3) It is full measure.
Because it is all paint true
paint proportioned for strength
and full-measure
(1) It takes least for a job ;
(2) Looks best all the time ;
(3) Lasts longest;
(4) Gathers the trade and
holds customers.
There is no such argument for
any other paint; there is no othor
such paint; there is nothing but
talk for any other paint. Devoe
'is the paint if you want the facts
on your side.
The country is full of expe-
riences; we bring these expe-
riences to bear on your trade if
you sell Devoe.
Yours truly
F. W. Devoe & Co.
31 New York.
