Pleasing Finishes 

 with Good Paint 



HERE is as much difference between paint 

 made of pure white lead and paint made of 

 substitutes for pure white lead as there is 

 between a silk fabric which is silk and a 

 cotton fabric which masquerades as silk, 

 CJ Just as you select the texture of a fabric 

 in relation to its proposed use (to beautify 

 or to resist wear or to do both), so you can 

 secure the proper effect in paint for every 

 possible purpose by using pure white lead 

 ("Dutch Boy Painter" trademark). The 

 good painter knows how to get the effect 

 you wish with hand-mixed white lead paint. 

 i& With pure white lead paint any conceiv- 

 able tint can be made to your order; and it 

 has the exclusive peculiarity of "flowing together," so 

 that a beautiful surface without brush marks results. 

 ^ To property-owners who expect to spend from 

 $40 to $1,000 this Spring on decorations, exterior 

 or interior, our "Dutch Boy Paint Adviser," though 

 free, is worth at least an expert adviser's fee, say 5% 

 of the expenditure. To anyone not interested in paint- 

 ing, it would not be worth the stamp used in sending 

 for it. If you wish it, it is free on request. 

 «I The "Dutch Boy Paint Adviser No. V is free to 

 anyone contemplating painting or decorating of any 

 kind. Write for it. 



Our Pure White Lead ("Dutch Boy Painter" trademark) is now packed 

 in steel k e gs* dark gun-metal finish, instead of in oak kegs as heretofore.
