A Woman's Valuable 

 Discovery About Paint 



ONCE thought white lead was something to 

 mark with/' said a woman as she was looking 

 at a reproduction of our ** Dutch Boy Painter/' 

 the trade mark for our pure white lead. "I found 

 out later that it was my best friend for decorating 

 my home. 



C"It was this way: One day I discovered that the 

 paint which had been put on our house only a few months before 

 was scaling in ugly splotches. 



C"'The white lead was probably adulterated/ said the old painter 

 I consulted. 



C"* White lead!' I exclaimed. * Do you paint with white lead?' 

 C"'Yes, I do/ he replied, 'but evidently whoever did this job 

 does not/ 



C"That gave me a new idea and I began to study the paint 

 question, for we haven't any money to throw away. I found that 

 paint wasn't all the same, and that something else besides getting 

 the right tint was necessary if my decorative ideas were to be 

 worked out durably and economically. Since 'then we have used 

 only pure white lead and pure linseed oil in all our painting, and 

 have had no more paint troubles." 



C Every woman can become paint-wise and at the same time get 

 the very latest ideas on decoration, by sending for our " Dutch Boy 

 Paint Adviser No.95." Contains suggestions for interior decoration, 

 exterior decoration, flower and shrubbery arrangement, etc. Free. 



Our Pure White Lead ("Dutch Boy Painter" trade mark) is now packed in steel 

 kegs, dark gun-metal finish, instead of in oak kegs as heretofore. Ask your dealer.
