For the Painting of Concrete,
wood, brick, etc., there is nothing which gives the satisfaction to be had from White Lead and linseed oil, if those time-tested materials are used pure.
White Lead is imitated no more nor less now than formerly, perhaps; but more is heard now of the imitations than formerly.
As long as substitutes could be successfully disguised they were sold as White Lead. In recent years the imitations have been “smoked out” by the agitation for the honest labeling of paint material.
Deception still exists, for laws have not yet generally prohibited it; but, in anticipation of the day when the label will have to tell the true contents of the paint package, a belated propaganda has been born claiming paint virtue for any and everything white, from chalk to barytes, and all the other so-called inert materials lying between.
The White Lead manufactured by the National Lead Company is pure and is honestly labeled. Our brands are well known as the standard of quality. Architects run absolutely no risk in specifying them. Instruct your inspectors to look for the Dutch Boy Painter on the side of the keg.
