AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST

There Is very simple and interest
ing chemical test by which to detect
impuity in paint materials Thou
sands and thousands OF people, all over
the country, are making this test. 1t
is a sure way to safeguard against
the many adulterated white leads
which are on the market Any one
can make the test-all that is needed
Is a simple little instrument which
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building,
New York, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit includes also a set OF color
schemes for exterior or interior paint
ing, or both, il you wish, and book
of specifications. No houseowner
should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit
One can't expect satisfactory paint
ing job without pure white lead There
is a way 10 make sure you're getting a
pure white lead-without testing it. See
that the keg bears National Lead Com
pany's famous Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark, which is a positive guarantee Of
purity. Your dealer probably has
this white lead. II not let National
Lead Company know.
