OXIDE OF ZINC IS UNALTERABLE 



even under the Blow-pipe. 



If the blow-pipe cannot affect it, what can ? 



Will the sun? Will rain? 

 Will frost? Will snow? 



The value of paint as a protective coating is de- 

 pendent upon its powers of resistance, not on the ease 

 with which it may be changed into something else. 



The beauty, durability and economy of paint is 

 directly due to the Oxide of Zinc in the formula. 

 See that your house paint contains enough. 



Does your paint contain Oxide of Zinc?

National City Bank Building, 55 Wall Street, New York. 



We do not grind Oxide of Zinc in oil. A list of manufacturers of Oxide of Zinc paints sent free on request.
