HOUSE PAINT COMPOUNDS IN SHORT SUPPLY
"Over tlie last six months the shortage of good while leail paints, pigments ainl linseed oil has become progres-' sively worse, and this is espeeiaiJy so with linseed oil." This was the statement of one of the leading paint eompouiiders and retailers in Palmerston North yesterday when commenting on the situation in the distriet. There was a total embargo by the main exporter to New Zealand of dry eolours on a eonsiderable number of dry colour lines, bringing an even greater shortage to be eoped with by the home-painter, he said. The shortage of painting materials at the present time, although not hold* ing up any ltuilding work, had stopped the repainting of any brick or Toncrete work with oil or lead paints. The prospect for inereased importations of the necessary compounds was not, at the moment, bright.
