DO you KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS7
Its Chief Use and Method of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. Tho
painter thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad-
dition Of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake white Lead" of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
in such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it.
The blow-pipe flame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and it only partially reduces to lead.
leaving a residue, it is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.
The National Lead Company guar
antee all White Lead sold in packages
bearing its Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark to prove absolutely pure under
this blow-pipe test, and that you may
make the test yourself in your own
home, they will send free upon re-
quest blow-pipe and everything else
necessary to make the test, together
with valuable booklet on paint. Ad-
dress, National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York.
