Can Be Easily Tested 
Many people do not realize that good paint, the kind which wears and 
stays bright, is simply metallic lead reduced to a form in which it can 
be applied with a brush. Lead in this form is called ‘“‘White Lead.” 
Likewise, many people who do know that the best paint is ‘‘White Lead and Lin- 
seed Oil,” mixed fresh for each job by a good painter, are totally ignorant of the 
fact that much of the paint which they think is ‘Pure White Lead and Linseed Oil” 
is so grossly adulterated that if tested it would yield no metallic lead whatever. 
Such paint will not wear like genuine White Lead, and is very expensive in the end. 
We desire to place in your hands, at our expense, the means of telling pure 
White Lead from the counterfeit. Any man, woman or child can make the test. 
We want you to make the test zozw—before spring painting begins. 
You need not take anyone’s word for paint. Test it yourself. No one else is 
half so deeply interested as you, if you have to pay the painting bill. 
How to Make the Test 
Subject the sample of supposed White Lead 
to the flame of a candle, gas jet or spirit lamp. 
Intensify the flame by use of the blow-pipe. 
If globules of metallic lead appear, the White 
lead is pure. If you can bring out no metallic 
lead, it shows that the White Lead has been 
adulterated. 
FULL WEIGHT KEGS 
The Dutch Boy Painter on 
a keg guarantees not only 
purity, but full weight of 
White Lead. Our packages 
are not weighed with the 
contents; each keg contains 
the amount of white lead 
designated on the outside. 
Write us for ‘‘Test Equipment V” and we will send free a blow-pipe and detailed instructions 
for making this test
