Two Little Dutch Boys ... and How They Saved Their Countries' Homes Once there was a little Dutch Boy. He lived in Holland, where the peoples Ihomes are protected by dykes or walls to keep out the sea. One evening in a lonely spot he saw a hole in the dyke. The water was leaking in. He knew the hole would soon grow larger and his country would be flooded. So he put his finger in the hole. He was very tired and cold, but all night long he stuck to his post. The next morning the people found him, still standing guard with grim Dutch stubbornness. The little Dutch Boy had saved their homesl This is the story of another little boy who became famous right here in America. He, too, has had a finger in protecting homes--bur homes. . He, too, has guarded them with stubborn Dutch spirit -- against storm and hail, raging rain and blistering sun. He is known to millions as the "Dutch Boy." Down through the years this "Dutch Boy" has been renowned for his good honest paint. But the"Dutch Boy" has not rested on a job well done. Back in 1917, at Sayville, Long Island, he began a National Lead paint-testing project which has contin ued without let-up for 30 years. Here, on nearly two miles of panels, he is right now'conducting more than 17,000 outdoor tests -- making sure he'll never have to take his cap off to any other paint. This Dutch stick-to-itiveness tells you why, now as always, "Dutch Boy" means, to its countless friends, "Good Painifs Other Name."
