Easy if you choose Lincoln Climatic
Paint of the formula prepared for your
territory. AS hard as ever. though, if
you try any other paint.
For Lincoln Climatic Paint is the
only paint properly adjusted to meet
the country's four climates.
You have merely to refer to the map
above-or to the elaborate climatic map
you will find at any Lincoln Climatic
Paint dealers-to determine the cor
rect formula you need. So that there
can be no mistake, on each can of Lin
coin Climatic Paint the proper Symbol
and Formula Number of contents are

Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1911-04-01

Each has used the same formula
for damp and dry sections alike.
Naturally different brands of
paint would have different formu-
las.
But no one brand ever has been
made on more than one formula
until now.
Yet a paint that is good where
the hurnidity-or degree of mois-
ture-is above 80 per cent, is bad
where it is below so per cent.
Hence a paint that will with
stand the dampness of the Atlantic
coast will crack and drop off the
buildings in the Middle West, or
in Montana and Wyoming. Or a
paint able to survive the latter's
dryness will powder of a building
in seaboard town.

In the more moist climates there
should be a larger proportion sof
zinc in the paint. In dry climates
there should be a larger proper
ton of lead.
The hardness of zinc coun-
teracts the softening effect of
moisture-and makes the paint
endure.
Zinc is used in paint for the
purpose Of hardening or temper

When the surface Of the wood or
iron expands under the neat OF tie s:::::

is too much zinc in tho paint for the

Too much white lead in paint used
