Many prefer Dutch Boy red-lead
Many of the oil men answering the questionnaire said they use Dutch Boy red-lead exclusively. This red-lead is the highest grade obtainable. It effectively prevents the rusting of steel equip ment. It sticks tight to metal, is impervious to air and moisture, and does not chip or scale. It forms a tough, durable, film that expands with heat and contracts with cold--without cracking.
You can get Dutch Boy red-lead in both paste and liquid form. The liquid comes in the natural orange-red color for coats next to metal, and also in greens, browns and black for finishing coats. The paste is obtainable in the natural orangered color and may be shaded to any desired dark color.
For oil-refining you want litharge of correct physical character and extreme chemical purity. Such litharge is made by the makers of Dutch Boy red-lead and Dutch Boy white-lead. At all
times you can rely on its unvarying uniformity. Our nearest warehouse can give you quick ship ment in any quantity you desire.
