"Exhaustive tests prove red-lead is best" This comment is typical of scores received from engineers in answer structural, railroad, consulting, waterworks, municipal, federal, state, county. Their dose agreement and enthusiastic comments to a recent questionnaire prove beyond a doubt that pure red-lead is the accepted material for metal surface protection. Whether in Maine, Oklahoma or California, with their widely ONE hundred and seventy-nine of the 206 engineers varying dimatic conditions, red-lead is almost unani who answered a recent questionnaire, sent out by mously approved by all men engaged in engineering a leading engineering publication, said they use, specifywork. or recommend pure red-lead for metal protection. This close agreement furnishes a convincing testimonial to the protective and wearing qualities of red-lead paint. The highest grade red-lead obtainable is Dutch Boy red-lead. You can get it in either the paste or the liquid form. The liquid comes in the natural orange- Butjust as convincing as these figures were the scores red for next-to-metal coats, and also in browns, greens, of comments by red-lead users.
