OHIO Architects, Hubbell 6c BeneB Two coats of Bay State Brick and Cement Coating used on exterior THE OK1UINAL B AY S TATE Brick and Cement Coating OU will be interested in the following facts pre¬ sented in a slightly different form about Bay State Brick and Cement Coating, the (“ only and original.”) About ten years ago, Bay State Brick and Cement Coat¬ ing was formally introduced as a protective coating for cement and stucco surfaces both exterior and interior, and its reputation has grown by leaps and bounds from coast to coast, and it is now well and favorably known all over the civilized world. When we presented Bay State Brick and Cement Coat¬ ing to the trade, far in advance of any other manufac¬ turers, we anticipated the demand for such a material, realizing from our own experience the need of a coating which would not only insure a uniform appearance, but act as a damp proofing as well, with faith in our belief that the use of cement as a building material was but in its incipient stage. How well we anticipated is shown by the growth of the cement industry during the past decade, and the following figures will be of interest: 1900, annual output, Portland Cement, long tons, 1,414,000 1905. „ „ „ 5,874,500 1910, „ „ „ „ „ „ 12,500,000 Reference to the list of well-known architects shown on pages 1 5 and ! 6, who specify Bay State Brick and Page three Cement Coating and have for years, would seem to be sufficient assurance to the most skeptical, but we would gladly, in addition to this, give the names of leading man¬ ufacturers, institutions, etc., who have standardized Bay State Brick & Cement Coating for years in their plants and continue to do so. In the next few pages we have briefly described our coating, shown a few illustrations and given a few Do’s and Don’ts. Do take time to read carefully as you are vitally interested. Don’t fail to write us for color cards, samples, and such further information as you may desire. As we have previously called to your attention, the present century building material is cement. It is being used more and more, either in the form of stucco or con¬ crete, for light or heavy construction of all kinds. Cement is, however, porous, and when unprotected absorbs mois¬ ture. No matter how well the cement may be mixed, air holes occur through which water, by capillary attrac¬ tion, will seep to the metal lathing upon which the stucco may be made, to the reinforced steel or iron girders, or even through to the interior walls, causing, in the case of metals, rust and corrosion, and in the instance of interior decoration, stains, discolorations. This serious difficulty has been overcome by the application of the original Bay State Brick and Cement Coating, which is made in white and in the following shades. (For color card see pocket.) Bay State Brick and Cement Coating is composed of carefully selected pigments, carried in volatile liquids, and when applied to any kind of cement or brick surface Page four becomes a part of the material itself, resisting dampness and thus affording protection to the material. Bay State Brick and Cement Coating is no stronger than the material over which it is applied. One of the objectionable features to the use of concrete is eliminated by the use of Bay State Brick and Cement Coating in the fact that it covers solidly, overcomes the spotty or streaked appearance as well as the cold gray tones of Portland cement. It is generally admitted, no matter how carefully ce¬ ment may be mixed, that a batch made one day varies from a batch made the next. REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD USE Bay State Brick and Cement Coating. It insures uniformity of shade. It does not destroy the distinctive texture of concrete. It will prevent dampness above grade. It will prevent hair cracking on exteriors. It will safeguard metal lathing, steel and iron girders from disintegration. It is a fire retarder, consequently for mill construction, on interior woodwork, should reduce insurance. It will not chip, flake or dust off walls and ceilings, thus affording a maximum protection to fine fabrics, del¬ icate machinery, etc. It reduces your cost, as one coat in opacity equals two coats of lead and oil. It makes a splendid ground coat for an enamel finish. It acts as a light reflector on area walls, etc. Page fid DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF Bay State Brick and Cement Coating. On exterior surfaces of concrete, cement, brick and stucco, use the coating as it comes from the container, stirring same thoroughly and without thinning. It is made just right to obtain the results and advantages claimed for it, and thinning is apt to destroy the properties of the special liquid used in its manufacture, and also lessen the covering quality. In extreme cases where absorption is very great and two coats are necessary, the first coat may be thinned with pure spirits of turpentine, not over one pint to the gallon, or with pure Bay State Cement Coating Special Thinner. Under no circum¬ stances use benzine or oil in thinning. On interior surfaces of concrete, cement, brick and wood, directions are the same as above. On interior plaster most satisfactory results may be obtained by the application of one coat of wall varnish size, and one coat of coating. Best results on plaster are obtained by giving three coats: First coat Cement Coating; second coat Wall Size ; third coat — Cement Coating. Bay State Brick and Cement Coating being a specially prepared coating for use on a peculiar surface, directions should be followed closely that the goods may be used understandingly and the best results obtained. This coating should be applied in much the same manner as when using a calcimine, that is, it should be applied with a wide clean brush, keeping the brush full and flowing it out; brush only enough to settle it into place and not for the purpose of extending it. Page six Do’s Do follow directions. Do insist on surface being put in proper condition by removing all loose particles, etc. Do employ experienced painters. Do consider that proper application insures satisfac¬ tory results. Don’ts Don't thin with anything but Pure Spirits of Turpen¬ tine or Special Bay State Cement Coating Thinner. Don’t try to tint with dry colors. Use oil colors thinned with turpentine only. Don’t apply second coat or third until the first or second is absolutely dry. Don’t use an oily or dirty brush. Don’t expect to get a clean white surface unless all dust, soot, and loose material is brushed off before apply¬ ing Cement Coating. Don’t expect Bay State Brick and Cement Coating to make a smooth surface unless you have one to work on. Remember it is only a coating. There is little doubt but that you will have good re¬ sults by following the above directions. Bay State Brick and Cement Coating has proved itself in many ways. As we know that no two jobs of cement or concrete are sure to present exactly the same surface conditions, so one article cannot be expected to be successful under all conditions. Bay State Brick and Cement Coating if prop¬ erly used will prove itself a coating capable of doing work that old-style paints (excellent for uses to which adapted) cannot perform.

Bay State Brick and Cement Coating has great cov¬ ering qualities, as one coat is equal to two coats of ordinary paint or calcimine. It resists the effects of heat, water, alkalis, acids, gases, or steam, and can be applied to even a damp surface. It dries hard and pro¬ tects concrete from disintegrating. Therefore, it is very sanitary for use in factories, hospitals, and other places where the powdering of the surfaces might be detrimen¬ tal. Bay State Brick and Cement Coating forms an ideal first coat under enamel, being hard, immovable, and giv¬ ing a smooth surface. FOUNDATION FOR TILE EFFECTS AND DECORATIVE WORK. It will not crack, peel, skim or flake off. As a ground coating for tile effects and decorative work it is very desirable, if applied directly to a surface not previously treated with any other material. ENDORSED BY FIRE UNDERWRITERS. It can be used with equal facility on wood for interior work. It has great fire-retarding qualities and has been endorsed by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and bears their label. Therefore, its use will help to lessen your insurance rate. On wooden beams in facto¬ ries, sheathing partitions, and ceilings, one coat is equal to two of lead and oil, and, as it never turns yellow, it is best in every way. Page ten ENUMERATION OF USES. To enumerate all of the uses to which it may be applied is practically to cover the whole field of stucco, concrete, and brick construction. It has been and is being used with great success in the weaving, slasher, and dyeing rooms of the largest textile mills of New England, and the drying rooms of some of the large paper mills. It is being specified and used in the largest packing plants in the United States, on the subways and bridges of many leading railroads, and by the United States Government. For boiler and engine rooms most satisfactory results have been obtained on account of its heat-resisting qualities. In manufacturing plants, hotels, public libraries, banks, schoolhouses, light wells, cellars, and private houses everywhere in the United States, it has proved successful where other so-called concrete paints have failed. BAY STATE ENAMELS. Bay State Enamel No. 2 has a full gloss and is made for white enamel interior finish over Bay State Brick and Cement Coating, and is adapted to use in office build¬ ings, hospitals, engine rooms, bath rooms (for giving a tile effect), kitchens, laboratories, etc. It may be washed without injury and is a most durable enamel. It may be left full gloss or rubbed with pumice and water to a porcelain finish. Also made in colors to match the colors of Bay State Brick and Cement Coating. Bay State Enamel No. 3, a high grade enamel for interior use, dries with an eggshell gloss, dispensing with the labor of rubbing. Page eleven DIRECTIONS FOR ENAMEL FINISH. On concrete, cement, brick, wood, and plaster obtain a smooth level under coat by using Bay State Brick and Cement Coating according to directions, then apply a full flowing coat of Bay State Enamel No. 2 as it comes from the original package. If a second coat is desired, allow forty-eight hours, lightly sandpaper first coat and apply same as before without thinning. It may be rubbed to an eggshell gloss if desired with pumice and water. Bay State Enamel No. 3 is used in the same manner as No. 2 excepting that it does not require rubbing. Do not use enamels on surfaces that contain any dampness. For quantity required, specifications, etc., see back cover (inside). BAY STATE CEMENT FLOOR COATING overcomes the annoyance and damage occasioned by the dusting of cement floors. Prevents the staining of floors by water, grease, and oil. Reduces noise and makes an easy walking surface. Can be easily swept and washed. For use on cement floors of factories, hospitals, stores, garages, schools, creameries and all other public and private buildings. Bay State Floor Coating is easily applied and its use affords the maximum of protection to such surfaces. Two coats must be applied, the “First Coat" as a priming coat which insures a proper foundation, and the Page twelve “Finish Coat.” A properly made cement or concrete floor, treated in the manner above mentioned, makes a surface which will not dust, is impervious to moisture and easily kept clean, and is sanitary. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. First Coat. All work must be dry, and free from all loose parti¬ cles of concrete, dust, grease, and oils. A temperature of 70 in the room while coating will also insure best results in cold weather. Apply with a wide brush a full body of the “ First Coat," allowing it to properly penetrate and saturate the cement, but not enough to stay out on the surface. This treatment will seal the floor and makes a foundation for the finishing coat, enabling it to demonstrate to its full capacity its wonderful resisting qualities to wear, mois¬ ture, oils, etc. “ First Coat ” being a liquid of neutral color should be tinted with a small quantity of the “Finish Coat” (about Vi gallon to 1 gallon) to obtain best covering results. When “ First Coat" is applied on new work, allow forty-eight hours before applying “ Finish Coat.” “First Coat” is not necessary on old work that has once been treated with our “ First Coat.” Finish Coat. Apply a good flowing coat of “ Finish Coat,” brush¬ ing only enough to flow out and distribute evenly. Use as it comes from factory, keeping well stirred before and during use. Page thirteen If two coats of “ Finish Coat " are to be used, thin the first one with about 1 pint turpentine to the gallon, and apply last coat full weight. Allow forty-eight hours between coats. If the “Finish Coat” requires renewing, first touch up the worn places with a thin coat of “ First Coat ” and then apply one full coat of “Finish Coat” over the entire surface. Note : No treatment will correct faulty floor construction, such as scaling, chipping, or chalking of the cement. Colors : Made in Natural Cement color and other shades as per sample card which we send on application. Caution : Always order and specify “ Bay State Cement Floor Coating ” when a coating is desired for Cement Floors, as a special coating is necessary for such surfaces. Note : “ First Coat ” comes in a neutral color to be used under any finish coat except when ordered tinted to match “ Finish Coat,” from the factory. Covering Power: Bay State Cement Floor Coating. “ First Coat ” covers about 300 square feet 1 coat. “Finish Coat” „ ,, ,, „ „ „ „ according to condition of floor surface.
