Solder was the metal used—and solder is a product of lead. Codntless other products of lead add to the comfort and convenience of your daily life. In your automobile, for instance, there is lead in the battery, bearings, glass of the headlight lenses, the rubber tires, the paint, and in the rubber mat on the step. ' But more important than all these is the use of white- lead as the principal factor in good paint. The more white-lead any paint contains, the greater its protective power and its durability. We, therefore, use straight “lead-and-oil” paint, made of the well-known “^ried and true” Dutch Boy White-Lead and pure linseed oil—for both interior and exterior work. Any color desired obtainable.
