To answer such a question, which has frequently been put to ua by the people of North Dakota, one should hare a complete knowledge of the composition of the various paints and shades as found on the market. Then it is probably true that the retation would be found to vary somewhat according to the shade* em ployed. The white shades contain a larger proportion of pigments to the menstrum than do the darker shades but from such data as we have gathered from the painta thus far examined it may be said that as a rule in the better painta, the ettThave "* WHITE LEADS. of white lead, found in mkew of'whfte1Z?nTed rd<utsi,}' ot the otmi*ed contain ! il leads not one has been found which did not they have bemi'fmin^ mCr!

RELATION OF LEAD TO ZINC. The question is generally bring naked what ahould be the relation of the lead to the ne In tt-PW* mixed paints.' An inspection of the analyses of the vanoua paints will show that the per eent of lead ing to about 60, while the proportion of *mo la the m<d paints ranges from 20 to 80 per eent. The practical paint -----TS?r hw bwa~ioai r.'.; men seem to differ with regard to the proportion of lend to zinc in mixed painti Iml some of the best of these from whom we have {fathered information would indicate that for outside house paints, not less than two-thirds of the pigment should be in the form of lead. This would leave one-third zinc. It would seem where inert material is substituted as though the proportion should not exceed that which is employed in the form of zmc or one-third of the total. It ia true, however, that there are but few paints on the market which contain more than fiO per cent of white lead. Just what the best proportion is can only he determined by actual experiments and investigation. To what extent the leading manufacturers have been influenced by actual experiments in determining the pro portions of lead to zine or, to what extent the desire to cheapen the cost of the product has been a factor in de termining the relation of lead to zinc in paints, ia hard to determine. -Again, the fact that the manufacturers have been forced to meet competition with cheap and spurious products may hare made it necessary that they produce a product not as good as they knew how to, but as good aa the public will pay for. Already there is a marked improve ment and the proportion of white lead has been much in creased in several well-known brands. This would certainly seem to indicate that paint manufacturers recognize the su- ' perior value of white lead as the basis of paints. In looking over the analyses as given in the following pages, one is surprised to note the number of paints'that con tain inert material in excess of 10 or 15 per cent. Certain manufacturers have maintained that the presence of a small amount of inert material, carbonate of lime, etc., was de sirable for the purpose of neutralizing any acid in the oil or other paint ingredients thus insuring better protection to the paint and preventing the deterioration of the oil. None have, however, maintained that the quantity need ex ceed, for this purpose, 5 per cent and many have indicated that not more than one or two per cent need be employed. It has also been maintained that the presence of a small amount of inert material prevented the settling of the pig ment in the can and the consequent solidifying which aome- u,,,, -v, a- 63 sssf-rtss? as Ik-"*" H prwin--* * P"' 10 per cent must be eth"^Trinc as indicated above or to or superior to white a,,ent jt is Bot our purpose else it is used as * cheapen g * paint constitu te discuss the relative t3 0^th f m0T*than paw** ents at this time tat t mor than 15 ssi-s -ssiirKrs sss per cent. 64 AMDS OP PAINT HAVING 15 PER CENT.

Some of the paints furnished by catalog houses, and others who do business of a similar nature, cost to produce less than one-half that for good paints even though the good paint contains a considerable percentage of inert ma terial, that is, the pigment in one of these catalog house paints per gallon has been estimated to cost 12W cents while in another paint the pigment in each gallon would cost not less than 57 centa on the same basis of estimation. There are other cheap paints coating less to produce even than the one indicated above and, too, in the liquid portion there is even a wider variation in the cost of the two classes of paints. . Water and benzene are not to be classed in cost with good turpentine and linseed oil. Neither are they to be considered as adding anything of virtue to the paint. Three pounds of ssl soda, one and one-half pounds glue, one and one-half pounds of borax and two pounds of sugar of lead in 50 gallons of water when mechanically combined with the pigment to the extent of 12 to 24 per cent of the fluid of the paint might make a good profit for the manufacturer and furnish a "dope" deceptive to.the consumer bnt neverthe less it is a shameful fraud. It would not be strange, how ever, if this did not fairly represent some of the "jelly-in- the-pail" like paints. OOHRE AND PRIMING. , Many cheap ochres are employed as tinting agents in certain paints. It is a question whether the presence of such ochres, when found in paint, is not to be classed ss a cheap ening agent rather than a true coloring matter of eommeraial parity. The introduction of from 10 to 20 per eent of ochre into a paint which is one-hslf calcium carbonate or other foreign constituents can, in my judgement, only be looked upon as a cheapening agent, especially when, after the addition of this amount of tinting matter, it still becomes w hnfm? *?

L. Chase "Made to Order" paint on page 10 they state: "It contains exactly the right proportions of everything needed--the exact amount of white lead to give opacity and body; the right proportion of zinc white to afford proper oil affinity, and greatest dura bility ; the precise quantity of drier to produce the best re sults, and the exact amount of the purest linseed oil obtain able, to say nothing of the right quantity of the finest tint ing colors. " Surely then they would hare their customers believe that the product they are selling them would have as its basis white lead. . There was purchased from this company one gallon of paint, put np in two separate receptacles; one for the pig ment, the other containing the oiL In the can containing the pigment there was found 1.71 quarts and of oil, L70 quarts, or a total of 3.41 quarts. In other words then the gallon was .59 of a quart short, and when the two products Were com bined there was actually by weight 10 pounds and 13 ounces. Whereas a good paint should weigh approximately 16 pounds per gallon. Inasmuch as they charge $1.60 per gallon, is seems an exhorbitant price for the oil when the selling price of linseed oil is but forty eenta a gallon. Thus in the oil itself there is furnished a nice profit of $1.20 to each forty cents expended for oil. . . . The pigment,, as received, waa found to be made up, by weight, of 75.6 per cent, solids, and 24.4 fluid. Or when you add the oil as received the relation of the pigment to the vehicle is as 52.4 to 47.6 per cent. This paint would therefore, be unusually thin, in fact as in the pigment, when received, there waa already present as much fluid as is found in some paints and, of this fluid portion 24 per cent, is in thn form of benzine, and nearly 21 per oenL occurs as water. The analysis shows that the paint does not contain a trace of white lead; it does however contain of chalk and barytes 55.26 per cent., and the balance is mainly zinc ox ide. \ no In the judgment of the nrrfm. misleading and dceept.ve |>aint **th" 18 oae of most lie.

' The Company claims to produce paint made to order for each and every job. They lay a great deal of emphasis on the fact that paint should not be adulterated. In a pamphlet entitled "The Paint that Parker Makes" they say: "You know that some flour has adulterations in it--that some flour will be mildewed--and that other flour will be clean, pure, wholesome and nutritious. And there is just^is much difference in paint. - "But, of course, the dealer would like to have you be lieve his old slopped up mixture of cheap materials is just as good as the paint that is made from the purest and best ma terials and made by the most njtpert paint makers in the, world. ' "And Parker's Perfect is that paint--it's made from the best and freshest materials that it's posible to obtain; i ,1; ^ _ it has no adulteration in it--it's made to last, and stand up under the liberal selling plan under which it is sold." ` They further aay in the same pamphlet: "In the first place Parker's Perfect Paint is FRESII PAINT, MADE-TO- ORDER-PAINT, manufactured out of the purest, freshest ^materials under my own formula, ground and thoroughly assimilated in heavy grinding and mixing machines. 1 "Pure linseed oil is added to the pigment in correct pro- 1 . *,'V. . ""si portion according to the number ooff cceaattss fior which the paint 'f> '*i#[!'is too be used.1" . yfjf'S They further saay on page 10: "Parker's Perfect White ,V ' . dE di.V-.V '. 117 Paint is made of absolutely pure 'ingredients pure whitc lead, zinc white and other minerals, and pure old ^.oned linseed oil, mixed in absolutely the nght proportions to pro duce a perfect white, a lasting white. _ Mini? f o r It is made AFTER your order is received, MADE FOR YOU; therefore it is always FRESH when you receive t, and retains all its life, its lasting power.

One has a right to infer that he is purchasing a paint made of pure white lead, zinc, coloring matter, etc. Now unless "etc." is to he considered as an essential con stituent in the paint, the statements made by the manufac turer in both his`advertisement and the pamphlet are abso lutely false and misleading. They are apparently intended to deceive the public. For, in reality, there is no while lead present, sine oxide constitutes but one-fourth of the pig ment, while two-thirds of this product is barytes costing not to exceed three-fourths of a cent per pound. The dryel is benzine, and the fluid portion contains 11.8 per cent, of added water. In other words, we should say from begin ning to end this is another of the big frauds in the paint in dustry, and the pnblie have a right to know of the character of such goods, and the manufacturer should be prosecuted for the false claims which have been set up.
