HALL'S DISTEMPER
THE KING OF WATER PANTS.
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 adyant- ages of being most economical and durable.
Hall's Ditemper is applied with a whitewash brash, aving much in the coms of labour.***
It webs hard, kills microbes and vermin, and disinfects.
It is made in a wide range of 70 colours, Including rich dark as well as light tint. The coloues never fade, enabling furnitare and pictures to be moved about a room without showing discoloured walle
Hall's Distemper decoration may be washed by lightly sponging down with clean topid water. It remains clean, sweet and fresh for years.
