Why is it that t
Strictly
Pure White Lead
is the best paint4 ?
Because it will outlast all
other Paints , make a hand
somer finish , give better pro
tection to the wood , and the
first cost of painting will be
less.
If'a color other than white
is w tnted'tint ; the Lead with
the National Lead Co.'s
Pure White Lead
Tinting Colors
These colors are sold in
small cans , * one pound being
sufficient to tint twenty-five
pounds of pure White Lead
the desired shade.
Be Careful
to use only old and well-
known brands of white lead.
The market is flooded with
adulterated Paints , and "so-
called" white leads. The fol
lowing are strictly pure "Old
Dutch " process brands , and are
established by a lifetime of use :
"COLLIER"
"RED SEAL"
"SOUTHERN"
For ale by all first class dealers In I'alnti , -
If you are uolng to paint , It will pay
you to send to us ( or a book containing Information -
formation that may save you many a dollar ;
it will only cost you a postal card to uo to.
