In the first place the actual cost of white lead is less than that of am paint ap proaching it in quality. Also, white lead goes further and spreads easier. White-lead painted buildings retain their original attractiveness and their surface protection. W hite lead wears gradually and evenlv from the sur face inward, keeping the paint film ulwa\s intact and in excellent condi tion for repainting. And to all of these advantages is added the long life ol white lead over which the original expenditure is spread, bringing the actual cost of painting to an absolute minimum. By always using pure white lead and oil the painting dollar is employed to the fullest advantage. Lastly, there is todav a definite trend away from the old-fashioned drab and dingy farm buildings. The Farm Security Administration, which has built over no.000 farm buildings painted in light colors with whiltlead and oil. ha\e led the wa\ in this trend.
