Letter to C N Ballow
Carbon Texas
Dear Sir: We shall feel obliged
if you write us how you came-
out on your first few jobs Devoe,
as to gallons expected and used.
Take Job A. You made your
price, expecting to use 25 gallons
Devoe, and used 15. Job B.
You expected to use 15 and used
10. And tell us what paint you
have used before. Of course,
you judge Devoe by what you
have used before.
Here’s how a few came-out.
M A Thomas, painter, Lynch-
burg, Va., writes: My first job
with Devoe, I estimated 37 gal-
lons; it took 25. Since then I
have used nothing else. ,j
C B Edwards, Raleigh, N. C,
had used 30 gallons paste paint
on his hmse, and bought 30 gal-
lons Devoe; A E Glenn, his paint-
er, said it wouldn’t be enough.
Had 16 gallons left.
Mayor WW Carroll, Monticello,
Florida writes: Painter estimated
35 gallons for my house: took 20
gallons Devoe.
Gilmyre & Davis Co, con-
tractors and painters, Tallahassee
Florida, say 2 gallons Devoe
spreads as far as 3 of any other
paint they know, and covers
better.
S A Bullard, painter, Sanford,
Florida, estimated 50 gallons for
Odd Fellows and Masonic Halls;
they took 29 Devoe.
Jones & Rogers, Merkel, Texas,
estimated 10 gallons Devoe for
Mr Pratt’s house and bought 5
gallons for first coat; it painted
two coats.
Erb-Springall Co, San Antonia,
Texas, painted two houses same
size forvD J Woodward, one
lead-and-oil, the other Devoe.
Devoe cost $12 less for paint
and labor.
Tom Masey’s painter, Walnut
Springs, Texas, estimated for
his house 10 gallons Devoe; he
had 4 left.
You see how it goes. Even
the best painters can’t guess
little enough at first.
Yours truly
F W Devoe & Co
6 New York
P. S.—Carbon Lumber Co. sells
our paint.
