Letter to Ben Stewart
Madison, pr.A.
Dear Sir: Two men on opposite sides
of the same street sell suusage", oi.e at
lOo lb. the other at 5. Which sells the
more sausages, think vouT '
The answer is: It 'depends on the
street. There are plenty of streets in
the world where 3u SHUSnje go like the
wind.
Devoe is n honest paint; there are
eight honest paints, 200 adulterated
slid short' measure; Devoe 'S the heal
of the eight. I'evoe has more strength
than the other seven. The painter sde's
generally a quart of oil to Devoe; he
still has a atronger paint than anyone
of the seven.
The seven are sold at one price 61 75
a gallon: a common price of stO'ind rat
paint Is (1.50. It takes 3 gallons Devoe
to paint amill house, and 12 of aver
aye paint; 8 gallon cost less than 12
the price is moie than offset by lefs gal
lons It costs i'Z to H a day to get paint on:
dav if ft gull. in; i8 to SI0 moro to
paint the more gallons-gallons paint.
The difference in the tirt cost of the
two Jabs is tl-l to $22 and which wears
be' do ynu think? It is the les gal
lons because of It strength.
There are plenty of people to buy
those .V sausages '
Vours truly.

We recently leceived by the kind
ness of Congressman Sparkman, the
annual Year-Hook o'. the Depart
ment of Agriculluie, for 1907.
In looking1 it over, we Lappened
upon the Tobacco statists of the
states where it is grown, and were
surprised to note that Florida tobac
co sold for a higher avei age price
per lb. than that of any other state
viz. 45 cts. Georgia comes next at
40 cts. The Connecticut product
Drought only 11 1-2 cts., and al.
though Connecticut is'scd three times
the quantity, yet the Florida grow
ers received nearly $700,000 mors
money for theirs.
The same is true of the rice crop
of which Florida is ciedited with
69,000 bushels, average price being
II. 1C, while Louisiana rice averaged
only 85c per bushel. Wachula Advocate.
