HALL'S DISTEMPER
THE KING OF WATER PAINTS.
The scientific ideal of a wall covering is one that is not only beautiful, but casy 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, killa microbes and verain, and disinfects.
It is made in a wide range of 70 colours, including rich dark as well sa light tinta. The colours" never fade, enabling furniture and pictures to be moved about a Toom without showing discoloured walls,
Hall's Distempor decoration may be washed by lightly sponging down with alean. tepid water. It remains clean, sweet and fresh for years,
