Everybody should know how simple and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty in buying paint materials. There are many so-called white leads on the market, which contain chalk, zinc, barytes, and olhor cheap adulterants. Unless the property owner takes ad vantage cf thc simple means of pro tection afforded him by reliable white lead manufacturers, he runs great risk of getting an Inferior and adul terated white lead. It la to protect the paint-buyer against fraud and adulteration that National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine Pure White Lead, place their famous "Dutch Boy Paint er" trademark on every keg of their product, an absolute guarantee of Its purity and quality. Anyone who wants to make a practical test of white lead, and who waals a valuable free book about painting, should address Na tional Lead Company, Woodbridge Bldg., New York, and ask for test equipment. The campaign begins when the money begins to rattle in the tin cup, THREE CURES OF ECZEMA.
