WHITE EARLY OHIO 
An Ohio with a White Skin 
Nothing equals the old reliable Early 
Ohio for quick compact growth, 
smooth symmetrical shape and fine 
quality. White Ohio is identical (al- 
though a better yielder) with the 
white color, so much desired now.

The costliest materials form only about one-third of a painting 
bill. The rest of the money is paid for labor. A mistake in the 
paint means not only the loss of what the paint cost, but also the 
loss of the entire expenditure for putting the worthless stuff on the 
building. It is quite worth while to ¢esz the paint before using i. 
The best paint is that mixed by your painter from Pure White Lead and 
Pure Linseed Oil, with the particular needs of your house in view. There 
is a simple test which anyone can make. 
White lead is made from metallic lead and can be changed back to 
that metal by applying great heat. Any adulterations, such as chalk, 
barytes or other counterfeits, mixed with the white lead, prevent the 
appearance of amy metallic lead, no matter how slight the adulteration. 
Therefore, if the sample yields drops of lead, it is pure; if not, 
it is adulterated. FULL WEIGHT KEGS
