Do you know what is wrong when paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise necessitates ._premature re-painting? Well, sometimes it hasn’t been properly applied—the surface being damp or there being too much turpen- tine or too much drier. But, nine times out of ten, the trouble is caused by adulterated white lead. To avoid all such trouble, houseowner should know in a general ‘way, when a surface is in proper con- dition to receive paint, what kind of primer and finishing coats different surfaces require, and how to avoid adulteration in materials. A complete painting guide, includ- ing a book of color schemes, specifi- cations for all kinds of painting wor' and an instrument for detecting adul- terations in painting materials, with directions for using it, can be had free by writing National Lead Com- pany, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York, and asking for Houseowner’s Paint- ing Outfit No. 49. This company, the largest makers of pure white lead, invite tests, by means of the blowpipe (included in | outfit), or in any other way, of the purity of the white lead sold under their famous “Dutch Boy Painter” trademark.
