CONCERNING ANOTHER ENAMEL
"FALCONITE"
(Registered),
PERHAPS you will wonder why we are addressing these remarks to you, and why, with the number of freely advertised Enamels on the market it is worth our while to tell you about "FALCONITE."
IT IS BECAUSE we honestly believe that "FALCONITE" is better, that wa want you to know of it, and give it a trial. "FALCONITE" is the Enamel that gives a surface which will reflect like a mirror, when viewed at an angle.
"FALCONITE Matt to give flat finish is recommended where an article to produce such effect is desired.
