HALL'S DISTEMPER
THE KING OF WATER PAINTS.
The scientific Ideal of a wall covering is one that is not only beautiful, but easy to keep clean, germ proof, absolutely fast in colour, and when applied a thorough disinfectant. No wall covering conforms so closely to these requirements as Hall's Sanitary Washable Distemper which has the important advant. ages of being most economical and durable.
Hall's Distemper is applied with a whitewash brush, saving much in the cost of labour.
It sets hard, kills microbes and vermin, and disinfects.
It is made in a wide range of 70 colours, including rich dark as well salight tinta. The colours never fade, enabling furniture and pictures to be moved about a room without showing discoloured walls.
*Hall's Distemper decoration may be washed by lightly sponging down with clean bepid water. It remains clean, sweet and fresh for years.
