Ready for Use. V?y? A Pure Lead, Zinc, and Linseed- 

 oil Paint Containing No Adulteration Whatever 



B. P. S. Paint contains no adulteration whatever. 

 Where white is the base, it is composed only of pure 

 Old Dutch Process carbonate of lead, oxide of zinc, 

 five to ten per cent inert pigment necessary to neu- 

 tralize acids and hold paint properly in suspension, 

 and coloring pigments, pure Old Process linseed oil 

 and the very best Japan. Shades in which white is 

 not the base, contain the same inert material, pure 

 linseed oil, Japan, and the best coloring pigments. 

 Pure carbonate of lead is the most desirable base 



for paint. When properly pre-

any other white pigment. How- 

 ever, it is of greatest importance that it be com- 

 bined with zinc in exact proportions (without zinc 



it will chalk; an excess of zinc 

 Importance will make it transparent, with 

 of a tendency to peel), and, that 



Preparation, the lead, zinc, and coloring 



pigments be thoroughly ground 

 and incorporated with the linseed-oil. 

 There is no valid substitute for pure linseed-oil as 



a thinner for paint. The mar-

in appearance, taste, or smell. 



We guarantee the B. P. S. Paint to be absolutely 



free from adulteration. But purity alone is not

durability and covering-power, 

 and it is not economical to the consumer. Buy your 

 paints by years and square yards, not gallons. 



Honesty will not produce the best paint without 

 facilities for procuring the best materials, the proper 

 machinery for preparing them, and " knowing how to 

 do it." A shade of paint tinted with commercial 

 chrome green, at a shilling a pound from the local 

 dealer, will fade out quicker than one made from a 

 selected green manufactured especially for the pur- 



pose, possibly costing five times that amount. The 

 markets of the world are at our command; materials 



suitable for the special require- 

 Superior ments of each condition are ob-

intendents, whose years of 

 experience have given them a perfect knowledge of 

 the treatment of pigments and vehicles, and the prop- 

 er combination of color to produce durable shades, are 

 at the head of each department. 



Our facilities for manufacturing paint are un- 

 equaled. Powerful mills, chilled and adjusted so as 



to crush and grind the paint to 

 iSuperior its finest degree, combining the 



MetKods o^ pigments with the oil as it can 

 Mantifatflure. be done in no other way. The 



nearer ready for the brush you 

 can buy lead-paint, the better it is. Fine grinding 

 enables it to be spread over a greater amount of sur- 

 face; therefore, although pos-

in Coveriik^ it really is cheaper because it

pure paint, carefully prepared 

 from selected materials, finely ground by machinery, 

 will resist wear and action of the elements much 



longer than the same materials 

 £coi\omy i«\ stirred together with a stick by

paint " works just right " under 

 the brush, and enables the painter to cover over a 

 larger surface in a given time. Being ready for use, 



no time is consumed in mixing 

 Elconomy or preparing it on the job; 



i«\ L^abor. colors are always uniform; no 



mixing required to match them. 



Much of the inconvenience of painting is largely 



due to numerous pails and cans required in breaking 



up and mixing lead-paint on 

 Economy ii» the job, and the annoyance of 

 Xemper often being out of a box of 



chrome or a little dryer. Let us 



keep the muss.and do the mixing for you in our factory. 



Owing to the superior quality of stock used, and the 



thorough methods of prepara- 

 Beauty in tion, the B. P. S. Paint will 



Finis H. produce a finish that cannot be 



equaled by a hand-mixed paint, 

 either in *he clear-cut tone of its shades, or the beau-

The B. P. S. Paints are made up in the latest and 

 most fashionable tints used in modern decoration.
