Show THE CRACKING OF PAINT. j Property Owners Can Save Money by Learning the Cause. Do you know what is wrong when paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise necessitates premature re-painting? Well, sometimes it hasn't been properly applied -the surface being damp or there being too much turpentine turpen-tine or too much drier. But, nine times out of ten, the trouble is caused by" adulterated white lead. To avoid all such trouble, every houseowner should know in a general way, when a surface is in proper condition con-dition to receive paint, what kind of primer and finishing coats different surfaces require, and how to avoid adulteration in materials. A complete painting guide, including includ-ing a book of color schemes, specifications specifi-cations for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adulterations adul-terations in painting materials, with directions for using it, can be had free by writing National Lead Company, Com-pany, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Paint-ing Outfit No. 49. This company, the largest makers of pure white lead, invite tests, by means of the blowpipe (included in outfit), or in any other way, of the purity of the white lead sold under their famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark. That trademark on a keg of white lead is in itself an absolute . guarantee of purity and quality. |
