1 ln> refrigerator door which proved the resistance of DU PONT DULUX iii the groat FLO III 1.)A (IHLASK TKST. Kvery morning for Li inoniliH nn II*inch wide acotiou (through the middle from top to hot tom) was wiped with grease hut tor. haoon grease and vegetable Lit. I ho grease stayed on for a week. Upper half of the greased see*
lion was cleaned once a week. Lower half not wiped or cleaned at N. After llie test, no rusting, cracking or peeling of DllLUX finish w u h evident. The lustrous while DLILLIX finish was unharmed.
/Cr e a s y f in c ;er s have always been a deadly enemy of fin
ishes used on refrigerators. For years they brought woe to house wives. They scut the manufac turer searching for a finish that would resist the destructive action of household greases, oils and fats--and also retain its original
beauty. Du Pont chemists took the
problem for their own. And they finally developed one of the most remarkable of modern finishes --DULUX for Refrigerators.To assure the durability and lasting beauty of D11LUX it look years of testing,checking and recheck ing in laboratories and on the refrigerators themselves. One of the tests was the equivalent of opening and closing a refrigera tor door 25,000 times with greasy hands.Having proved the quali
ties of this finish to their own satisfaction, they made it avail able for many uses. In the marine industry it resists the harmful effects of salt spray, salt air and harbor gases. On steel structures it retards rust and corrosion. On other surfaces it withstands changing temperatures, exces sive moisture, dust and grime. DULUX gives longer lasting protection and beauty where beauty is needed.
If you have costly plant equip ment to protect--if you have a product for which you want another selling advantage, or a home for which you desire last ing beauty and protection, look to DULUX, DU CO or many .other duPont finishes.Use them. Rely on them. E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Finishes Division, W ilmington, Delaware.
