Excerpt from The Lead and Zinc Pigments Possibly in no other country has the art of pigment and paint making reached as high a level as in the United States. Certainly in no other country has the paint industry developed as rapidly during the last forty years as it has in America. The making of one hundred and fifty thousand tons of lead pigments and over seventy thousand tons of zinc pigments, resulting in the manufacture of over one hundred million gallons of paint besides the enormous sales of lead in oil, constitutes an industry that is to be counted among the important industries of the country. And yet until the passage of the first efficient and vigorous paint law in 1905, enacted by the state of North Dakota, and the court proceedings attendant thereto for the determining of the constitutionality of that law, those interested in the subject of pigments and paints were compelled to turn to English books for information, as our own literature was noticeable only for its meagerness. New pigments have come into use during the last ten years, new processes have been developed for the manufacture of the older pigments, new combinations of pigments have been worked out that have secured results hitherto unattainable. Yet up to the time mentioned above, except for short articles in some of the trade papers, these improvements and innovations remained practically unnoticed.
