Letter to S. T. Ross.
Accomac, Va.
Dear Sir:?As your business is to get
people into and out of trouble, sup?
pose you consider their paint ;it makes
'em almost as much trouble as money,
except of course matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good deal;
they don't mean to; they don't know
any better; they buy without think?
ing. Bad paint isn't good. It looks
good-enough for a year; then begins
to get rusty; but changes so slowly,
one don't notice it.
Looking isn't all. The business of
paint is to keep a house dry inside,
the wood and iron of it; keep it from
rotting and rusting. Takes good paint
to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one
price or about that. One can't go by
the price at all; as with lawyers, the
price has nothing to do with goodness
or badness; and costs are worse yet;
the painter and sheriff come-in for
their share.
But the probability is that a man,
who paints Devoe, will come-out on
top.
Yours truly,
16 F. W. Devoe & Co.

Now that the main lines of the

tion.
Tho telephone keeps the farmer
neted on the latest weather forecasts
irnished by the Government. An
""curate forecast of the weather is es
ratial, for it often means a safety of
is crops, when to any other business
ie weather is of but little import
nce. Tho markets everywhere are
;achable from his home and a good
larket at the right time determines
ie amount of profit. Five trips by
agon may mean five disappoint
lents and five days lost?the tele
hone doeB the job in five minutes. It ]
leets all emergencies, makes travel
ig unnecessary, and saves tired
orses many long drives.
The telephone to the farmer
orth at least ten times ten farm
ands, and by the new rates of the
