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 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
