In its most generally used form, it is the combination nents and liquids that has proved in actual service to perform most tarily the Wink required. It is the result of many years of careful i and countless tests conducted by paint manufacturers and certain ' organisations. i one outstanding characteristic of modem mixed punt is its UNIrY. This is due primarily to the system of absolute control i throughout its manufacture. This uniformity is shown in its: Ingredients ..Consistency,,.

Usually a paint so composed affords a ready lodging place for dust, dirt, plant pollen and the like, which not only destroy the appearance of the finish, but shorten the life of the paint coat. Furthermore, when repainting is necessary, which usually comes more quickly than it should, costly preliminary work is frequently required to properly prepare the surface for repainting. .2 ' ,1 PoasiontaftrgSSi wttkStasWl ....... ..;rwT_. __ . . . ip-S'SfeS-j; ilUktMmt _______ _ White Zinc or Chdde of Zinc, when used akme,is brittle and soon cracks and chips,? due to espantym and contraction iff the' surface under atmos' pheric conditions."

"Paint Taeknalofg * Tests'--H. A. Gardner. Colored vs. White Paint It has been proved that a paint to which has been added certain coloring material to produce the desired shade will wear from 80 to 60% better and longer than a pure white paint. This means that a surface so finished will require repainting much less frequently than if white is used. White surfaces collect dust and dirt quickly.' Where the necessity for repainting of white painted surfaces comes approximately every three years, the repainting of surfaces of tinted paints would come about every five years. Light tints reflect more light than the dork ones, and for that reason a building painted with a light tint, such as gray, ivory, etc. would be much 16
