THE PAINTING SEASON.
Good results in painting at the lie


Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is simple compound
and the ingredients car be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
PALMER mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place pea sized bit Of White Lead
on piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do If it is pure
White Lead. little drops Of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear. and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule OF metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead Is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one OF them to lead If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave residue. it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company. Wood
bridge Building. New York City. are
sending OH request a blowpipe free TO
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent d handsomely
printed booklet having as its fronts
piece the Dutch Boy Painter re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.
