MORE PAINT TALK 



• 



SOME TIME AGO WE SAID A LOT 

 ABOUT OUR SOAKED-IN METHOD OF 

 PRIMING OUR GREENHOUSE MATERIAL, 

 NOW A WORD ON THE OTHER PAINTING 



Did you know that all white lead which is ground with the oil in pulp form 

 contains about five per cent moisture, that it is this moisture in the lead which 

 causes the mildew, makes your paint blister and peel oflf? Tliis is just the point 

 that our chemists have found out beyond all doubt, and our years of experimenting 

 with pulp-ground lead and bone-dry ground lead has proven to us that only the 

 bone-dry lead will stand up under greenhouse conditions. Bone-dry lead is simply 

 a lead which is thoroughly kiln-dried, all moisture excluded, then ground as fine 

 as flour before it is mixed with the oil. This lead will then take six to eight 

 gallons of oil to every hundred pounds against five gallons of pulp-ground lead. 

 This, of course, makes it go just that much farther in laying, covering twenty- 

 five per cent more at least. Because it is ground so fine, it mixes so thoroughly 

 with the oil that it covers the wood with a perfect enamel, thus excluding all 

 moisture, preventing all mildew,, and when properly laid is guaranteed against 

 cracking or peeling off. 



Now this Is not all about the 

 paint question either. The oil 

 that Kites into the paint has a 

 lot to do with it— and we have 

 a lot to do with this oil. Next 

 week we will tell yon what we 

 do with it. So you see it's 

 these details after all that are 

 Important and every detail is

 our house-making. It pays to
