(Jf y We have concluded that a standard should be established (or the composition of Heady Mixed and Paste Paints, Colors, etc. We thick for Mixed and Paste Paints that either Lead or Zinc, or both together, and the necessary coloring, should be ' that standard. It Barytes or Whiting Is also used, we think that the . covering capacity and general quality Is reduced, besides cheap ening the Paint. _ That most manufacturers o! Paints believe that Lead and line are the proper pigments of which to make Mixed and Paste .'^ints, and that they have endeavored to establish that Idea (or s'Vtqdard) in the trade, is shown by their advertising matter. (SW^extracts given on followtug pag.es.) We cannot find that . aoy of them say that Barytes or Whiting (Carbonate of Lime) fcould oe Included. ' ^Considering the Immense difference In the value of Zinc and Lead, worth front 4 to 6 cents per pound, compared with Whiting and Barytes, worth from j to 14 cents per pound, the trade will readily see the great disadvantage under which those manufacturers are placed who nee only Lead and Zinc for a base for Mixed and Paste Paints, by those manufacturers who use proportions of Barytes or Wbiting, and who do not in their advertising or labels state that fact. *r To overcome the great disadvantage under which we often find ourselves thereby placed, and believing that the mataner In which some Mixed and Paste Paints were sold could only be made profitable by the use of cheaper materials, and knowing that by "Chemical Analysis'* alone could we abow the trade i.ia a plain way the difference between our goods sad others, we caused careful "Chemical Analyses'' to be nude of our Paints and of Paints sold by other houses, with results as shown In the table given below: We present to the trade for luformatlou the facts as found, with an .explanation of onr own goods. We state wbac our Faints contain, and show what some of the paints of other houses contain. . It Is our purpose to continue making our Mixed paints just as we represent -them, and to represent them exactly as they are. 1' ------------ _ ___ When other paints are placed In competiton with ours, a m we want them to contain substantially the same kind of ingredl- vT eats that our goods contain, or we want to know, and to have ^ the trade know, just what they axe made of. ' < If we place on the market any Mixed or Paste Paint, Ineluding In Its composition cheapening material, w Intend to put It forward for what it is, and are willing to state what Itcontalns. ^ a- When other establishments bring Into competition with onr Faints, at about the same pricei, goods containing cheaper ma terials, and fall to state the fact, we propose, If necessary, to state It fox them. **** Vj We simply wish to see all goods In our lln'e, Including those ` , T we manufacture, offered and sold for what they really are, and - J to actually contain oniy those things that they are advertised to ` contain. ' Vv We believe this to bq fair, and. In a spirit of fairness to all, - manufacturers, dealers and consumers alike, and In furtherance of our desire to see an actual Standard established and adhered to,', this circular Is published, ; ; ! \ Packages of some of the prominent &$ad/Mixed and Paste Paints sold in this ebuntry wery bought either direct fropi the,**/* manufacturers or In the open market.

We took It ior granted without question that such was the case, for we found that some of the most prominent houses in the country manufacturing Mixed and Paste Paints, guaranteed the pigment base ot their goods to be Lead, Zinc, and the Decensary coloring matter to produce the different shades. Others seemed to avoid a direct guarantee of com- position, but In their advertising matter mentioned Lead and Zinc Id such a manner as to, we think, lead people to infer (we know we did) that their paints were made of those materials. In order to better Illustrate what we mean, we publish ex tracts from the labels, circulars or pamphlets of some manufac turers, aad also in that connection the M Chemist's Reports" In full on the different samples analyzed.

' By " Strong P(hltes,M we mean that Lead aDd Zioc reaisi the effect of mixture with color to a moch greater extent than other whites^ or that a mach. lighter shade is produced wheu-- .'either I^ead or Zluc is mlxed.wlth any coloi^than an eqnai weight of Barytefl, Whiting, or Clay would make wheu mixed with equal quantities of the same color. In other words, their character aa white and lightening influence is. great, and we therefore call the?* "Strong Whites," . .. Lead and Zinc each possess to a great extent the property ,oi absorbing or J;combining with oil, while Barytes Is quite deficient in thU[ respect. ' -While saying so much In praise of Zltc and Lead we wish to call attention to the fact that Barytes and Whiting have per haps one proper-'-use In manufacturing Faints,' and that is Id reducing hlgh.prtced chemical colors so as to bring them within the range of commercial, use. Barytes aod 'Whiting being. Weak Whites, aod having d o .character of their own a* Whites,': win assume exactly the hue of'any strong bright color, such as - ' a Green, Chrome ..Yellow, Prussian Blue or Lake, with ..which they may be mixed/ Lead or Zinc on the other hand, being' Strong Whites,..would shade such, colors down aod make a .tinted white or5^.dedpaintyJnstead of a bright color. < Nearly all the regular brands of Chrome lfallows, Prussian Bines, Greens, etc., contain more or leas Whiting <5r Barytes, and la the Greens and Tuscan Bed shades of our Mixed Paints only can they be found, and there only because we are forced to use colors, containing them. * * ' It will be seen that Strontia is reported sa being present in one of the paints analyzed. It may b present with the Baryta, of some of the others, as it Is often found in nature associated with heavy spar, lrom which the Barytes of commerce Is ground, and has the same general chemical properties that Barytes has. Dana's Mineralogy mentions Its presence la the Barytes of several localities in Germany, and investigation showed its presence In large proportion In a sa mple .of German ; Barytes In our possession. Same sample contained Sulphate of Lime. ' We think that It Is generally understood that a Urge pro portion of the mixed paint* sold In this country have a limited proportion of the oil replaced with other binding liquids. Our Gloas Is a high grade Paint of that class, and baa stood the test of many years wear on buildings In many parts of the United States, and Is still (n good condition. We could name & number . of "good and reliable Paluta of the same class that hare loug: enjoyedao excellent reputation and agood trade. - - Our 6. P.

Perhaps it wit! cot be out of place here to describe as shortly as possible the properties of Lead aod Zluc, the Heavy Bodied and Strong Whites, aa one class, and Barytes and Wliltlng, the Poor Bodied aod Weak Whites, as the other class.-1',* . .. i riBAVY BODIED WHITEa. t o o k bo d ied -S X-'Wh it b Lx a d .
