Red-Lead for metal protection" say representative men in every branch of the engineering profession IN New England, in Utah, in Cali of 20 consulting engineers, 36 out of fornia--wherever there is metal 42 municipal engineers say the same. to be protected--red-lead is the ac cepted paint for guarding buildings, bridges and other metal equipment against corrosion. Whatever the cli mate, whatever the conditions, the engineering profession is practically Some of the engineers told why they prefer red-lead. They spoke of its unanimous in its endorsement of pure "adherence," its "economy," its "re red-lead. ^ sistance to all lands of weather con ditions," "its spreading power," its "unequalled protective qualities," its " ease of application," its " resistance This fact was established by the an to gases." swers to a questionnaire recently sent Paste and liquid red-lead out by an engineering publication. This questionnaire was sent to men in every branch of engineering work. In answer to the question, "What paint for metal equipment?" 179, or 85 per cent, of the 206 engineers who replied said "pure red-lead." Their agreement is a convincing testimonial to the protective qualities of this time-tried paint. Many of the engineers said they use Dutch Boy red-lead. This red-lead is the highest grade obtainable. You can get it in either the paste or liquid form. The liquid comes in the nat ural orange-red for next-to-metal coats, and also in greens, browns and black for finishing coats. The paste is obtainable in the natural orangered and can be shaded to any desired The returns in detail dark color. The engineers answering the ques tionnaire were grouped according to the work they are following. Every group shows the same close agree ment. Here are the figures: Of 46 railway engineers, 41 said they use, specify, or recommend pure red-lead. And 20 out of 26 structural engineers, 40 out of 43 federal, state, and county engineers, 24 out of 29 industrial engineers, 18 out We maintain a special technical staff to help in the solution of painting problems.
