We asked engineers the nation over -- structural, civil, railroad, industrial and consulting engineers; federal, state, and county engi neers--wbat paint they use and recommend for metal surfaces. Ol more than two hundred who replied, nine out of ten said "Red-lead!" 182 Leading Engineers recommend red-lead for metal surfaces 89% of those asked say red-lead "We know of no better rust preventive than red-lead." gives best protection "It gives best protection, being impervious to water and gases." THE engineer can take no chances. His reputation hangs upon the strength of his structures--upon their ability to render unfailing service--upon their "Experience tion." shows red-lead gives best protec ability to stand up under all kinds of weather attacks. "It does not peel; it prevents rust." How do engineers today protect the monuments of their skill and planning? How do they safeguard their bridges, their structures, from corrosion? We asked them. Herds what they said We asked two hundred and three leading engineers, from all parts of the United States, what paint they use and recommend for protecting metal surfaces. One hundred and eighty-two--more than S9% of the entire number--said they use or recommend pure red-lead. And this was not just one group of engi neers. Among those who replied were structural engi neers, civil engineers, railroad engineers, industrial engineers, consulting engineers. "We prefer it as the result of tests conducted by us." The highest grade red-lead obtainable is Dutch Boy redlead. It is obtainable in both paste and liquid form. The paste form comes in the natural orange-red color and can be shaded to any desired dark color. The liquid comes in the natural orange-red, also in light and dark brown, light and dark green, and black. If you have special information that you want on painting, write our technical staff in care of our nearest branch.
