Stately Buildings Doomed
Many a stately building is built nowadays with the germs of decay imbedded in its very skeleton. Even the coatings put on the iron and steel framework to protect it are often themselves producers or starters of decay.
There is only one proved preserver of iron and steel — pure Red Lead paint. The importance of the steel frame of large buildings is so vital that owner and architect alike should be willing to go to any length to assure themselves of its proper preservation.
Good Red Lead Will Preserve
iron and steel. That has been proved. To trust to some other substance because it may be a little more handily worked is to trust to luck and with scarcely a gambler’s chance.
Ask us for our specifications for use of Red Lead. They produce the most effective and most workable metal paint.
