PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should.
OF course, be durability--and dura-
bllity means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and liuseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paintbuyer was
likely to get adultcrated or counter
felt white lead if he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety If he only makes
sure that the Dutch BOY Painter
trademark Is on the packages OF
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods
