editThe Power of Radium at Your Disposal
Twenty-three years ago radium was unknown. Today, thanks to constant laboratory work, the power of this most unusual of elements is at your disposal. Through the medium of Undark, radium serves you safely and surely.
Does Undark really contain radium? Most assuredly. It is radium, combined in exactly the proper manner with zinc sulphide, which gives Undark its ability to shine continuously in the dark.
Manufacturers have been quick to recognize the value of Undark. They apply it to the dials of watches and clocks, to electric push buttons, to the buckles of bed room slippers, to house numbers, flashlights, compasses, gasoline gauges, autometers and many other articles which you frequently wish to see in the dark.
The next time you fumble for a lighting switch, bark your shins on furniture, wonder vainly what time it is because of the dark—remember Undark. It shines in the dark. Dealers can supply you with Undarked articles. For interesting little folder telling of the production of radium and the uses of Undark address

To Manufacturers
The number of manufactured articles to which Undark will add increased usefulness is manifold. From a sales stand- point, it has many obvious advantages. We gladly answer inquiries from manufacturers and, when it seems advisable, will carry on experimental work for them. Undark may be applied either at your plant, or at our own. The application of Undark is simple. It is furnished as a powder, which is mixed with an adhesive. The paste thus formed is painted on with a brush. It adheres firmly to any surface.
