The public judges by what it sees. Every day is judgment day for your railroad. ] Your railroad is judged by the stations it keeps WHAT kind of stations does your public see? Are they dull, dirty, dingy -- or bright, clean, well painted? This is a question that you cannot afford to ignore. Many railroads today make sure the public sees clean, attractive stations by painting them inside and out with paint made of Dutch Boy white-lead. And at the same time they pro tect their property surely and economically. They have found that Dutch Boy. white-lead mixed with pure linseed oil gives them goodlooking, long-lasting ex teriors. For interior walls and ceilings they use Dutch Boy white-lead and Dutch Boy flatting oil. Either of these paints may be tinted to any desired color. Our Department of Dec oration is always glad to suggest color schemes for single stations or an entire line. If it can assist you in any way, simply write to our nearest branch.
