How to overcome this? Sherwin-Williams has done it with a revolutionary pigment called "OZLO" lead-xinc, made from the original ores In Sherwin-WlUtams own smellers. In making OZLO, basic lsad sulphate and zinc .. oxide are fumed together under terrific heal --not a mere mechanical mixture, but an inti mate phyxieal union of the two metallic pig ments--Impossible to achieve by any me chanical mixing or grinding operation - so that OZLO possesess the virtues of both while lead and zinc oxide.
..Thlx pigment serves to "alloy" white lead In
paint science and. combined with magnesium, it makes a more durable paint than when used alone.- It adds greatly to the hiding power of SWP and. because U Is not affected at all by discoloring fumes, it gives SWP1 still greater resistance to Ibe fumes that turn un fortified white lead paints gray. f . , The pigments and the colors in paint are ' vitally Important, but so is the vehicle. That Is why Shtrwln-Williams make their own lin seed oil--select choice flaxseed, crush It in their own mills, age, refine and treat the oil so as to make It best suited (or use in SWP.
WHAT MAKES CHEAP PAINT COSTLY?
Do you knowthat the liquidor "vehicle'*con-
' tent of many cheap paints has been found lo
amount to as much as 33
ordinary hy
drant water, plus 30% of petroleum distillates
(gasoline). Some cheap paints actually con
tain as liltle as 37% of film-forming pig
ments and oils.
Imagine paying even "cheap" paint prices ($1 lo 52 per gallon) ior two-" . thirds of a gallon of gasoline - and water] What's cheap 'about that? Particularly In ..k.view of the fact that the
small amount of fllm-form-
lag materials contained in such paints is usually composed of cheap pigments.
Now compare what you get In these cheap, watered paints with what you gel in a quality house paint Uke SWP. U is easy to under stand, now, why cheap paint films soon break down-crack. peeL chip, chalk and wash away.

Haven't you often wondered why nmt freshly painted white houses turn gray in a very short lime white others seem to keep their fresh appearance indefinitely? Pos sibly you just assumed that some neighbor hoods must be dirtier than others and that the houses suffered accordingly,
But, chances are in many cases, that dirt wasn't entirely to blame. Probably the trouble struck deeper and atmospheric dis coloration was taking place.
Points in which the while lead is not fortified are particularly sensitive to the sulphur fumes presenl in the air in practically every community and this causes them la lum gray ' --they cannot be washed clean again. By fortifying the white lead In SWP with OZLO lead-zinc and titanium-magnesium SWP is given great resistance to these fumes. This it doubly important because dirt washes, easily from SWP so that Its# from dis coloration. the house looks almost as if newly painted.
There are some communities in various parts of ths country --near oil fields and certain industrial plants-where these
fume conditions are so exces sive that they attack any paint containing white lead. Special SWP Fume Resisting While No. 436. has been pro vided far these localities.
