HOW 70 KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which 4 May be Identified
Before USint.

After a building has been painted
easy to tell Il the paint used was
made of pure White Lead or not. But
such belated knowledge comes like
locking the barn after the colt is sto-
len.
What one wants is test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor Of putting 1t on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in
which genuine White Lead may be
positively distinguished from adul-
terated or fake White Lead before
you spend cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead Is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as Is produced by blow-pipe.
pure White Lead will resolve itself
back into metallic lead. If, however,
it is not genuine White Lead, or if it
contains the slightest trace of adul-
teratlon, the change will not take
place. Therefore the ''blow-pipe" test
is an absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging every one interested in paint
ing to make this test of paint before
using it, and they guarantee that the
pure White Lead sold under their
Dutch Boy Painter" trademark will
always prove absolutely pure under
the ''blow-pipe" Or any other test.
To make 1t easy for you to perform
the experiment they will send you
free upon request blow-pipe and
everything necessary for you to make
the test, together with valuable
booklet on paint. Address, National
Lead Company, Woodbridge Building,
