The Lead Trust Has Not Been Bought
New YoRK, Aug. 1.-The statement that
the Standard Oh company has bought up all
the white lead companies in the United
States and paid about S6O, 900, 900 for them is
emphatically denied by President w. r
Thompson, Of the National Lead trust, as is
also the statement that the Atlantic White
Lead company, Of Brooklyn, joined the COM
bination last week. Mr.. Thompson said:
THE Standard OIL company does not own
one share of the National White Lead trust,
Of which ! am president, as a company.
That company has never bought out white
lead plant, and never will. The National
Lead trust has not bought up all the plants
yet but Il has purchased and controls an the
principal ones, and probably the rest win be
IN the combination soon. We secured the
Atlantic Lead company IN June.
