COATING 



Coatings for Dairy Barn Equipments 



After many years of scientific research and painstaking experiments, we 

 have succeeded in producing an improved Coating for Dairy Barn Equip- 

 ments, which will be known as "Louden Tantite." It is a beautiful tan 

 color, not too dark nor too light, but just right to harmonize with and satisfy 

 all the requirements of an up-to-date dairy barn. It is made from our own 

 formula which was worked out after years of patient investigation and consul- 

 tations with the foremost experts in the manufacture of paints. Next to gal- 

 vanizing it is the most durable coating made for barn equipment. In a well 

 ventilated barn, where the moisture is properly taken care of, it will stand as 

 well as galvanizing, and will cost considerably less. 



All the metal work of our equipment will be coated with "Tantite" unless 

 the order calls for galvanizing. The tubing and other metal parts are first 

 carefully cleaned to free them from scale and dirt, and are then dipped in a 

 heavy mixture of "Tantite," which will run into all openings, thus coating 

 the inside of the tubing and castings as well as the outside. After dipping, 

 the parts are run on an overhead track into a large steam heated oven where the "Tantite" is thoroughly 

 baked on. The result is a heavy coating of "Tantite," both inside and outside, producing the very best 

 finish — really an enamel — which will be as durable as the finish is excellent. 



We strongly recommend the coating of stalls and stanchions, the metal parts of mangers, and all 

 animal pens, at least once a year, in order to keep them in a strictly sanitary condition. This is nec- 

 essary, whether galvanized or coated with paint, and when this is done the galvanizing will be but little 

 advantage. Also, in view of the rough handling in shipping and while erecting, it will pay to give the 

 material a coat of "Tantite" after it is erected and when the cement work is dry. No one would think 

 of painting the material for a house before it was built and not painting the house afterward. The rough 

 handling is sure to more or less damage the very best finish, and to make the equipment look strictly 

 first class it should be coated after erecting. 



We furnish free with each order a small can of "Tantite," sufficient to touch up the scars which may 

 be received in shipping and handling. We also put up "Tantite" in two sizes of self-sealing cans, labeled 

 as shown in cut, to be used for additional coating. The larger can is a half gallon, and the smaller is a 

 quart. When properly spread, a half gallon will coat I 5 to 20 stalls, and other work in proportion. 



AH cracks and crevices, wherever they may be, should be filled with some durable filler, such as iron 

 cement, or even good putty with white or red lead added to give it body. This is advisable to make the 

 equipment completely sanitary.
