BUYING PAINT eLlNDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy.
ing as lottery and so it is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with a fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly pat on and the
paint will stay put.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge, Building, New York City, will
send blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tons for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

For years Hop, who formerly worked
for Burbank, has been working on the
production of an onion which would

claims he has succeeded, and his con-
tention is borne out by the statement
of many of his white neighbors and
rivals who have inspected the new
onion.
