The average annual rainfall for the Inst 70 pours has been 24.17m. This has only been exceeded in four years since

While a description of Hall's Distemper is no doubt superfluous, we beg to remind Architects, Builders, and Houschulders of the following special points →→
It is made in two qualities-The Inside quality is the modern scientific substitute for wall-paper; it makes a more artistic, practical, and healthier wall covering altogether."
The Outside quality is fully weather resisting, it cay be used on wood work, ron work, brick work, stone, etc, and can be painted or varnished.
Hall's Distemper no doubt owes a great deal of its popularity to its ease application and great covering power-resulting in economy in both material and labour costs. 1 cwt. will cover double the surface of 1 cwt. pure white lead, and it dries evenly overcoming the difficulty of obtaining a uniform tint on
