DOESN'T FEAR LEAD TRUST
Local Dealer in Paint Discounts Re-
port that National Company VIII
Absorb Others.

Omaha dealers in paint and whtelead
look with considerable doubt upon the re-
cent report from New Jersey that the
National White Lead company is making
arrangements to absorb the other COM
panies engaged in the same business, and
to establish branches OF but one house at
each point now occupied by more than one,
and that there will be central distributing
points from which orders will be filled, in
place of carrying stock in local houses.
"If such a thing is contemplated" said
a dealer in this line OF goods, "it seems to
me to be foredoomed to failure. In the first
place there are too many lead mines pro-
ducing ore steadily and the commodity is
entirely too easy to secure II such a
thing we're possible the price of National
Lead compsny stock would be much higher
upon the market than 1t is today. TherS
is no occasion to fear lead trust"
