LONDON CH ICAGO APRIL, 1888.— SUPERSEDING ALL PREVIOUS ISSUES. H. W. JOHNS’ LIQUID PAINTS. >HESE PAINTS are composed exclusively of the best and purest materials, com- bined on different principles from any other Liquid or Mixed Paints. They have been thoroughly tested in all parts of the world and have been found to withstand the severest tests of elhuatic changes, sea-air. and other try- ing exposures where the best white lead has failed ; and the universal testimony of those who have used them is sufficient proof that they are, in every respect, strictly reliable and first class paints of a higher grade than has ever before been offered to the public for structural puqioses, and second to none in | richness and permanency of color, beauty of finish, durability, uniformity, and all characteristics which are requisite to form a perfect ornamental-protective covering. They possess an elastic quality never before attained in any paint, and are prepared ready for the brush, but maybe thinned if desired, with pure, raw linseed oil. None but the purest Linseed Oil and the best pigments known enter into the composition of these paints, and they contain no water, alkalies, benzine, or other deleterious or useless adulterations ; we do not, therefore, compete in prices with the cheap paints with which the market is flooded and which are composed largely of water and other inexpensive ingredients. It is a well known fact that the more intimately the ingredients of a paint are combined, the more brilliant, solid and enduring will be the colors produced, and we call attention to the difference in this respect between our Liquid Paints and all other prepared paints; the best of the latter consist of pigments ground in oil, and after- wards simply mixed with oil, spirits of turpentine, etc. The entire body of our Paints is first ground in oil, and then mixed to the proper consistency, after which the irhole is ground through fine mills ; by this process alone can the pigments and oils be so intimately combined as to produce a perfect paint. No other paints excepting “coach” or “artists” colors, are so thoroughly mixed and ground as ours. We also call attention to the superior “covering” properties of these paints, two coats of which form a body and finish equal to three or four coats of ordinary paint. One gallon will cover from 250 to 275 square feet, two coats. TPS" The average cost of applying paint is from two to four times ns much as the cost of the paint itself, and when this fact is taken into consideration, it would seem questionable economy to expend from fifty to one hundred dollars for labor in ap- plying twenty-five or thirty dollars worth of inferior paint, which, after a year or so, affords neither protection nor ornament, when the use of a strictly first-class paint, costing twenty per cent, more (or say five or six dollars more for sufficient to paint a small house) would insure a serviceable and always pleasing result for, at least, two or three times as long. These Paints are sold by U. S. Standard Galmn Measure (251 cubic inches); i.e. our packages contain from 8 to 12 per cent, more paint than is usually sold for the same quantity ; and they weigh from 10 to 20 per cent, more to the gallon than any others. Our manufacturing facilities being the most extensile and complete of any in the icorld, we shall continue to spare no pains or expense to make our Liquid Paints what we claim tlienl to be, viz : “THE STANDARD PAINTS FOR STRUCTURAL PURPOSES.” "Wo call especial attention to our Outside White, and our Egg Shell Gloss "White for inside work. When ordering White, state if wanted for outside or inside work. /PUT- Use none but pure raw linseed oil for thinning these Paints. As all colei's are affected by sunlight, our samples should be exposed a few hours to the light, by which the shades are perfected.
