FOREWORD P AINTS and Varnishes are no longer looked upon as being merely decorative in pur- pose. Far outweighing this quality are the important functions, viz.: to prevent rot and decay, rust and corrosion; to take the wear and tear buildings are subjected to, preserving them from the effects of time and use; to promote health by securing the highest degree of sanitation, which, without the proper use of the scientifically correct finish is impos- sible; to reflect daylight, toning down glaring light or disseminating and refracting all of the available daylight, thereby reducing the amount of artificial light necessary. In short, to promote health and to preserve from the effects of time and use. These are the true functions of Paints and Varnishes. The benefits — Health and Economy - are obvious. This booklet describes various B. P. S. products made especially for use in and around all public and semi-public buildings and institutions such as universities, schools, churches, hospitals, hotels, stores, offices, ware- houses, manufacturing plants of all kinds, breweries, packing houses, apartment houses, etc. Necessarily a list of this kind does not cover the entire field, nor does it embrace all of the different materials manufactured by us. In presenting for your consideration the different products listed herein, we have no apologies to offer nor any hesitation in saying each one is the very best that can be pro- duced for the purpose. B. P. S. Products are the results of years of investigation and experiment; exhaus- tive tests have been made to determine the best pigments, varnishes and oils to be combined in the proper proportions to produce the scientifically correct finish for each different purpose. If none of the materials described are adapted to your use, or, if your painting problems present unusual difficulties or require expert advice, we will be glad to place our Board of Paint Experts at your service. THE PATTERSON-SARGENT CO. B. P. S. MILL WHITE “ The Daylight Paint ” It is hardly necessary in this day and age to point out to the progressive owner or manufacturer the advantages in utilizing all of the available daylight possible. Modern scientific investigation proves that increased production, increased efficiency, increased quality of output is obtained in a light, well ventilated and sanitary building. All authorities agree that daylight is the only proper light to work by. Unfortunately, the amount of daylight in the average building is minimized by partitions, machinery, shafting, belting, etc. This condition can be overcome to a great extent by using paint made especially for the purpose of diffusing and refracting all of the light that enters the windows. B. P. S. Mill White fulfills this requirement in every particular and better and more economically than any other paint. The durability of B. P. S. Mill White is unequalled. Ordinary Mill White paints turn yellow very quickly; this means a darkened room. B. P. S. Mill White stays white, changing the walls and ceiling into a great reflector, thus utilizing all the light that enters the room. The interior of a building painted with B. P. S. Mill White means the pleasure of abundant light, soft, pleasing and restful to the eye. This “staying white” quality renders a surface that is dependable. The advantages are obvious: Necessity for artificial light reduced to a minimum, light bills reduced, quality of work enhanced, quantity of output increased. B. P. S. Mill White is made in five finishes to meet various requirements. A short description of each will be found in the following pages, as well as specifications for use under various conditions. Obviously, it is impossible to give directions for the use of these goods under all conditions and on all surfaces, but we have included specifications used in common practice. If you have a special surface to paint, the conditions of which are unusual, specifi- cation for which is not found herein, we would be glad to have you communicate with our nearest branch office, who can furnish you the information desired. Page Ten B. P. S. Mill W hite Inside Gloss No. 3 “ The Daylight Paint" B. P. S. MILL WHITE INSIDE GLOSS No. 3 is the result of years of experi- ments to produce a durable, constant, lasting gloss white— one that will not turn yellow and will retain its pure, white finish and its gloss the greatest length of time. It is the very best paint made for the interiors of all kinds of public and semi- public buildings, institutions, schools, textile mills, factories, warehouses, breweries, packing houses, offices, etc. It refracts and disseminates daylight wherever used, obviating the necessity for artificial light in many cases, and reducing the amount of artificial light necessary in all cases. It has wonderful body, is easy working, and is absolutely non-poisonous ; produces an elastic, sanitary surface that allows no hiding-place for germs, will not crack or scale, expands and contracts with temperature changes and maintains its firm surface despite vibra- tion. Its practical qualities are perfect — flows smoothly and evenly, leaving no brush marks, and is impervious to water. Will outwear any similar finish. It is an intense white that stays white. B. P. S. Mill White Inside Gloss No. 3 is made for a finishing coat only and can be used on wood, brick, plaster, concrete, cement and metal surfaces. Where more than one coat is desired, use as undercoats B. P. S. Mill White No. 4 or No. 10. For full directions for use, see page 14. BEFORE USING B. P. S. MILL WHITE AFTER USING B. P. S. MILL WHITE Page Eleven B. P. S. Mill White Flat Finish No. 5 “ The Daylight Paint ” B. P. S. MILL WHITE FLAT FINISH No. 5 is in every respect the same as B. P. S. Mill White Inside Gloss No. 3 and B. P. S. Mill White Egg Shell Finish No. 8, except- ing that it produces a beautiful, flat, velvety finish, sometimes desired in place of a high gloss finish or egg shell finish. Has all of the light refracting and disseminating qualities of the No. 3 and No. 8 and can be repeatedly washed. It works freely under the brush and will not show laps or streaks and does not craze or check. It is a soft, intense white that stays white. To be used as a finishing coat only. Where more than one-coat work is to be done, use as undercoats B. P. S. Mill White No. 4 or No. 10, according to the condition of the surface. FOR DIRECTIONS SEE PAGE 14. B. P. S. Mill White Flat Finish No. 5 is made for inside use on wood, brick, plaster, concrete, cement or metal surfaces. B. P. S. Mill White Egg Shell Finish No. 8 “ The Daylight Paint ” Where neither a full gloss nor a dead fiat finish is desired, B. P. S. MILL WHITE EGG SHELL FINISH No. 8 should be used. It has all of the light refracting and dissemi- nating qualities of the No. 3 and No. 5. It produces a finish about half-way between— the beautiful, soft, rich sheen known as egg shell finish. It is durable, sanitary, non-poisonous, and can be repeatedly washed ; works freely under the brush and will not show laps or streaks. It is a soft, rich white that does not yellow, but STAYS WHITE. For use as a finishing coat. Where more than one-coat work is desired, use as undercoats B. P. S. Mill White No. 4 or No. 10, according to the condition of the surface to be covered. FOR DIRECTIONS SEE PAGE 14. B. P. S. Mill White Egg Shell Finish No. 8 is made for inside use on wood, brick, plaster, cement, concrete and metal surfaces. Page Twelve B. P. S. Mill White Undercoat No. 10 “ The Daylight Paint ” This is a flat white paint used only as an undercoat for B. P. S. Mill White Nos. 3, 5 or 8. Should be used in all cases as an undercoating, either applied directly to the sur- face according to directions when two-coat work is to be done, or over a priming coat of B. P. S. Mill White Full Body Oil No. 4, where more than two coats are used. B. P. S. Mill White Undercoat No. 10 holds out subsequent coats of Mill White and provides a surface which will permit a finish on the work otherwise impossible to obtain. It is an elastic, sanitary, non-poisonous undercoating that expands and contracts to conform to temperature changes and withstands vibration perfectly. It will not cause the finishing coats to check or craze. For inside use as an undercoat on wood, brick, plaster, cement, concrete or metal work. Where two-coat work is to be done, apply B. P. S. Mill White Undercoat No. 10 for first coat, thinning same in accordance with instructions on page 15. On three-coat work, apply a priming coat of B. P. S. Mill White Full Body Oil No. 4 in accordance with directions on page 15, following with a coat of B. P. S. Mill White Undercoat No. 10. FOR DIREC- TIONS FOR USE SEE PAGE 14. B. P. S. Mill White Full Body Oil No. 4 “ The Daylight Paint ” This is a full-bodied oil paint and is intended to be used as a primer on new and old porous surfaces where three-coat work is to be done. When applied according to directions, it will produce a perfect foundation for subsequent coats. It penetrates the surface thoroughly, is elastic and expands and contracts with temperature changes and is unaffected by vibration. In painting, as in everything else, a firm, secure foundation is always necessary when best results are desired. Therefore, we recommend the use of B. P. S. Mill White Full Body Oil No. 4 for use as a primer on all porous surfaces where three-coat work is to be done. For inside use as a primer on wood, brick, plaster, concrete, cement or metal surfaces. To secure best results reduce B. P. S. Mill White Full Body Oil No. 4 with from a quart to half gallon of pure raw linseed oil to the gallon of paint, according to the condition of the surface to be painted. SEE DIRECTIONS ON PAGE 15. Page Thirteen B. P. S. MILL WHITE DIRECTIONS In the following directions we have specified one, two and three-coat work only. Necessarily, in giving directions for use we are obliged to confine ourselves to average con- ditions. Some elasticity must necessarily be allowed where conditions are unusual, and, while these directions are explicit, occasionally variations of them are necessary to meet unusual conditions. Such variations apply to the undercoats only and do not apply to the finishing coats. B. P. S. Mill White Inside Gloss No. 3, B. P. S. Mill White Flat Finish No. 5 and B. P. S. Mill White Egg Shell Finish No. 8 are finishing coats and should always be used as such. If the paint is a little heavy in consistency, reduce with a small amount of pure spirits of turpentine. If you have experienced any trouble with previous paintings or have any reason to question the directions given herewith, we will be glad to have you communicate with our nearest office, who can advise you just how to secure the best finish possible. PREPARING THE SURFACE See that the surface is thoroughly DRY and FREE FROM ALL DIRT, grease, or any foreign matter. Satisfactory results cannot be expected if surface is wet or damp. On old work, remove all loose or scaly paint. Provide a clean, firm foundation for subsequent coats. APPLYING THE PAINT Stir the paint thoroughly. Pour it back and forth from can to can until of even consistency. You cannot stir paint too much. Remember, three coats of paint are better than two; two coats are better than one. However, under certain conditions it is impractical to apply three coats, and sometimes no more than one coat can be applied. Hence, we include directions for one, two and three-coat work.

Page Fifteen B. P. S. OUTSIDE BUILDING PAINT B. P. S. OUTSIDE BUILDING PAINT is made from a perfected formula. Where white is the base it is composed only of strictly pure white lead, oxide of zinc, the scientifically correct percentage of inert pigments necessary to produce greatest durability, to neutralize the acids and hold the paint properly in suspension, the necessary coloring pigments, strictly pure and properly aged linseed oil and the very best japan. Shades not made upon a white base contain the same pure linseed oil, japan and the best obtainable coloring pigments. B. P. S. Outside Building Paint is ground to the last degree of fineness by means of the latest and most improved machinery, under the personal direction of competent super- intendents whose years of experience have given them a perfect knowledge of the treatment of pigments and vehicles and the proper combination of colors to produce durable shades. The result is a perfect paint, possessing the greatest possible covering capacity, durability, and fine finish, such as cannot be obtained by the use of hand-mixed lead and oil, or other prepared paints. B. P. S. Outside Building Paint is a specially prepared paint for outside use on wood, brick or metal buildings of all kinds. Following are directions for use. For cement and concrete buildings use B. P. S. Concrete Coating. See page 25. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Be sure to stir the paint thoroughly. The proper way to stir a paint is to “box” it; that is, pour it back and forth from one can into another until it is thoroughly mixed. If paint is received in barrels remove the barrel head and stir thoroughly until all of the paint is of like consistency. Remember, you cannot stir the paint too much. NEW WORK. Shellac knots and pitchy spots before priming. The priming coat is the most important of all. Don’t prime with Ochre, White Primer or Mineral White, as the succeeding coats will not adhere. Prime with B. P. S. Outside Building Paint, reduced with an equal quantity of pure raw linseed oil. See directions on page 18 for painting metal buildings. After priming, putty all nail holes carefully. For the second coat, add a pint of pure turpentine to each gallon of paint. This will prevent crawling and give the finishing coat a better gloss. The third, or finishing coat, should always be applied just as the paint comes in the original package. All coats should be well rubbed out. Two coats on new work are not sufficient, but when used, thin the first coat by adding one- half gallon of raw Linseed Oil to one gallon of paint; apply the last coat just as the paint comes in the can. OLD WORK. When the surface is porous and has not been painted for a long time it should be treated the same as new work. All loose paint must be removed from the surface by using steel brushes or scrapers. Old surfaces that have been exposed to soft coal smoke, greasy door jambs, posts and railings, should be thoroughly cleaned. Where the surface is in fair condition, add one pint of pure turpentine to each gallon of paint for the first coat; also the second coat, if three coats are applied, finishing as directed above.

P. S. Outside Building Paint Directions (Continued) METAL BUILDINGS. —See that the surface is thoroughly dry and free from grease, dirt, mill scale or rust. Remove rust and mill scale with wire brushes. Apply one coat of NOBRAC — black, brown or olive (see page 29). Allow this coat 24 hours to dry. For second and third coats use B. P. S. Outside Building Paint just as the paint comes in the package. SPECIAL WORK. —Occasionally a job is in such condition that no paint will give satisfactory results when applied in the ordinary way. In such cases we invite corre- spondence and will give directions for special treatment. GENERAL REMARKS. —Be sure to have the paint well rubbed out. More trouble results from paint being applied too thick than from any other cause, and for this reason it is difficult to get a satisfactory job on new work with two coats. A thin coat of paint wears better than a thick one. Three thin coats are better than two thick coats and are less liable to peel and blister. Three or more days should be allowed between coats for drying. A large proportion of the oil sold today is adulterated. Therefore, see that the oil used for thinning is good pure linseed oil. Wood absorbs moisture in many ways — from leaky gutters and down pipes, wet plaster, etc. Be careful, for if moisture gets in under the paint it will blister and peel. Don’t blame the paint for bad results if your surface is not right, as paint will not adhere to wet, pitchy and sappy lumber. Too much paint is worse than too little and you may think your building needs painting when it only needs washing. B. P. S. Paint can be washed without injury. QUANTITY REQUIRED On new work which has been primed during the process of building and in repaint- ing old buildings in fair condition, it is generally safe to estimate that one gallon of B. P. S. Outside Building Paint will cover from 350 to 400 square feet, two coats, according to the condition of the surface. More paint will be required if the surface is porous and has not been painted for a long time. To ascertain the number of gallons required, figure up the number of square feet in the surface, allowing 10 to 20 per cent for cornices, sash, edges, etc. Divide by 350 or 400, according to the surface, and the result will be the number of gallons of B. P. S. Outside Build- ing Paint required for two-coat work. SELECTION OF COLORS The list of shades shown in this book comprises our standard line of building colors. We are prepared, however, to match any particular shade desired in B. P. S. Out- side Building Paint quality on orders for 25 gallons or more. We issue a set of color plates illustrating a few of the many harmonious combinations possible by the use of B. P. S. Out- side Building Paint. A post card or letter to our nearest address will bring a set to you. Page Eighteen B. P. S.

P. S. DON’TS 1. DON’T fail to stir the paint thoroughly. If in cans, pour it from one can into another, back and forth, until it is of even consistency. If in barrels, use agitator freely. 2. DON’T apply less than three coats of paint on new work, two are not sufficient. 3. DON’T spread the paint too thick; it may blister and peel if not well brushed out. 4. DON’T thin with or add anything but pure raw Linseed Oil, except in the following cases: On old work where the surface is in fair condition, smooth and hard, use enough turpentine on under coats to cut the gloss. During cold weather, when any paint is liable to crawl, add a little turpentine to under coat. Nothing should be added to last coat. 5. DON’T hurry. Allow plenty of time for each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. 6. DON’T paint during wet or frosty weather. 7. DON’T expect good results when you paint wet, sappy or pitchy lumber. 8. DON’T fail to shellac all knots, sappy and pitchy spots. 9. DON’T be afraid to use raw Linseed Oil liberally in priming coat. 10. DON’T prime with Ochre, Priming White or Mineral White of any kind. 11. DON’T fail to employ a good painter. Page Twenty B. P. S OUTSIDE FLOOR PAINT B. P. S. Outside Floor Paint is especially prepared for outside floors, decks, plat- forms, boardwalks, etc. A satisfactory paint for this purpose must combine qualities that produce a hard, tough, and at the same time, elastic surface, one that will withstand atmos- pheric changes, that will most successfully resist the severe uses it is subjected to and which will not spot with water. B. P. S. Outside Floor Paint is the best paint made for all outside cement, concrete or wood floors, platforms, boardwalks, decks, verandas, etc. B. P. S. Outside Floor Paint, in addition to combining these qualities, finishes with a beautiful gloss and is the most durable paint for this purpose that can be produced. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir B. P. S. Outside Floor Paint thoroughly before using, pouring it back and forth from can to can. To obtain the best results be sure that the floors are thoroughly cleaned and free from soap and alkali. This being a heavier bodied paint than is usually made for floors, it must be thoroughly rubbed out. A durable paint is slow drying. Allow 2 days before subjecting to rough usage.

DADO PAINT This paint, as its name implies, is adapted for finishing dado or wainscot, dries hard over night with a full gloss or enamel finish; impervious to moisture, it can be repeatedly washed without injury to the finish. Will retain its gloss and will outwear any similar finish. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir paint thoroughly before using and pour it back and forth from can to can. See that the surface is thoroughly dry and clean and free from dirt, grease and all loose paint. On new work reduce three parts of paint with one part of turpentine for first coat . For second and third coats apply the paint as it comes in the can. For old work apply one or two coats of the paint as it comes in the can. LIGHT LEAD SLATE DUST LIGHT YELLOW RED LIGHT BROWN MAROON GREEN DARK GREEN FAWN Page Twenty-two COLOR SCHEMES FOR FACTORY PIPING Factory efficiency is assisted to a great degree by the intelligent use of color schemes for painting factory piping. The cost of. painting each pipe line a different color scheme is very slight compared to the benefits derived. By the use of a color scheme it is unnecessary to trace a line to its source to determine which line it is ; a glance at a pipe is all that is necessary to determine this. By using a color scheme of this kind the pipe fitter will not take down the wrong line when making repairs or additions. The colors shown on this page illustrate the possibilities of this scheme and can be varied to suit conditions. However, we would suggest that the colors shown on the steam lines be adhered to, as different shades are sometimes affected by heat. We shall be glad to co-operate with you in laying out a color scheme for your factory pipe lines and in- vite correspondence.

MACHINERY AND ENGINE ENAMELS This line is made especially to produce a first-class finish on all kinds of machin- ery and engines (gas, gasoline and steam), machine parts, castings, etc., as well as for refinish- ing same. The B. P. S. method of finishing for this class of work, will produce a first-class enamel finish that will stand the temperatures steam and gas engines are subjected to, that is oil, steam and wear proof and that will retain a beautiful appearance and can be kept spick and span at all times. B. P. S. Machinery and Engine Enamels are made of the highest grade of materials adapted for the particularly hard conditions a finish of this kind is subjected to. This line consists of Filler (paste) intended for first coating. The Sealer is a liquid second coating of the same shade as the finishing coat. The Finishing Enamels are made in eight beautiful shades as shown below, and, when applied according to directions, will pro- duce a first-class, durable, oil and wear resisting finish. DIRECTIONS FOR USE NEW WORK. See that the work is dry and clean and free from oil, grease or rust. For first coat reduce the Filler with turpentine or benzine to the consistency of cream and brush on a heavy coat. Allow 12 hours to dry and sand smoothly with No. 0 sandpaper. If the work contains any sand holes, cracks or pits, putty same up with the Filler in paste form. For second coat apply Sealer of the same shade as the finishing coat just as it comes in the can. When thoroughly dry apply third coat - finishing enamel of the desired shade. This method will produce a first-class, economical finish, but can be varied as desired by additional coats of the finishing enamel. OLD WORK. (For refinishing.) See that the surface is thoroughly dry and clean and free from oil, grease and rust. Apply one or more coats of finishing enamel, as desired, allowing plenty of time between coats. FILLER The Sealer shades are not shown as they are of the same shades as the finishing coats. WINE BLACK ALSO MADE IN WHITE AND CLEAR VARNISH Page Twenty-four B. P. S. CONCRETE COATING B. P. S. Concrete Coating is manufactured for use upon exterior and interior concrete surfaces; produces a uniform, flat, durable finish, which successfully prevents dis- integration and checking ; shuts out moisture and is not affected by the natural alkali in the cement. Its composition is such that it dries very hard, combining with and becoming a part of the concrete. Laboratory and comparative exposure tests clearly demonstrate the superior qualities of B. P. S. Concrete Coating. It has unusual spreading power. Its dura- bility under severe exposure prevents the surface from disintegrating and makes it water- proof, preventing discoloration. It can also be used successfully on brick and other surfaces where a flat finish is desired. For concrete and cement floors use B. P. S. Cement Floor Coat- ing. See page 27. FOR ALL CLASSES OF EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR CONCRETE WORK. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir thoroughly until of even consistency. See that the surface is thoroughly cleaned of all loose material. For priming coat reduce B. P. S. Concrete Coating with one- half gallon of pure raw Linseed Oil to the gallon of paint. Second coat apply B. P. S. Concrete Coating as it comes in the package. One gallon covers from 150 to 200 square feet, one coat, on the average concrete or brick surface, and from 200 to 300 square feet on close-grained surfaces, such as adamant, plaster, etc. CREAM WHITE LIGHT GRAY LIGHT CANARY IVORY OLIVE GRAY FRENCH GRAY GRAY STONE jr LIGHT OLIVE RICH RED Cream White should not be confused with our Regular White carried in stock in addition to the twelve shades shown above. Page Twenty-five B. P. S. SHED, ROOF AND FENCE PAINT B. P. S. Shed, Roof and Fence Paint is made from high grade metallic pigments, finely ground in powerful water-cooled mills. Owing to the great covering capacity of this paint, it will stand a liberal reduction of Linseed Oil to the gallon of paint and produce first class results at a minimum cost. For painting all classes of rough work, viz.: sheds, fences, roofs, bridges, out- buildings, gutters, valleys and downspouts. In fact all exterior wood, brick or iron surfaces where an inexpensive finish is desired. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir the paint thoroughly before using, pouring it back and forth from can to can. Reduce to a painting consistency with pure, raw Linseed Oil in the summer and boiled in the spring and fall. On wood (old or new) for first coat use from one-half gallon to one gallon of oil to one gallon of paint, mixing thoroughly. For subsequent coats use from one-fourth to one-half gallon of oil to one gallon of paint, as necessary. Over metal thin according to surface to be covered. DARK GREEN BROWN Page Twenty-six B. P. S. CEMENT FLOOR COATING A cement or concrete floor that is given an occasional coat of B. P. S. Cement Floor Coating should last as long as the building, whereas an unpainted floor requires con- tinual patching or renewal after a few years of service. B. P. S. Cement Floor Coating is made especially for use on interior cement and concrete floors. It is a most satisfactory finish for cement and concrete floors, as it prevents and stops disintegration and “powdering off.” It does away with the poisonous alkali which is continually arising from these surfaces. It thoroughly impregnates the surface so that it will not absorb oil, grease or moisture and produces a tile-like surface which can be washed or scrubbed and kept as sanitary and clean as the most expensive tile floor. B. P. S. Cement Floor Coating is a very tough, elastic and durable paint. It dries perfectly hard over night with a rich, durable gloss and will take all the wear the floor is subjected to. When used on cement or concrete floors it is unnecessary to use any primer or hardener on the floor. DIRECTIONS FOR USE If the floor needs any repairs, have same done before painting. Fill all cracks, crevices and holes with cement and allow same to become perfectly dry and hard before apply- ing the paint. Stir the paint thoroughly before using, and pour it back and forth from can to can. See that the floor is free from oil and grease and is dry and clean. For first and second coats reduce three parts of paint with one part of pure turpentine. Apply the third coat as it comes in the can. Spread the paint out thin and evenly and allow it to become perfectly hard between coats. Leave the windows and doors open as free circulation of air is absolutely necessary to insure the proper drying of the paint. GREEN MAROON Page Twenty-seven B. P. S. PUBLIC BUILDING ENAMELS This line is composed of paints suitable for the interior finishing of all public and semi-public buildings, such as office buildings, schools, colleges, institutions, hospitals, hotels, churches, apartment houses, department stores, etc. This line consists of 14 shades of enamel finishes. For flat finishes, suitable for the class of work mentioned above, see pages 40 and 41, on which is a full and complete description and color chips of B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish — a finish particularly adapted for this work. The enamel finishes shown here produce a hard, durable, brilliant gloss finish that can be repeatedly washed without injury. They work easily, cover well and retain an enamel finish indefinitely. For interior use on wood, brick, plaster or steel — for walls, ceilings, partitions, dados, wainscot, radiators, elevator shafts, ornamental iron work, pipes, etc. Made in 14 beautiful shades, shown below, as well as black and white. We call particular attention to the gloss white finish, as it is a beautiful, snow-white enamel finish that will not yellow' and that can be repeatedly washed wfithout injury. It will retain its gloss and maintain a porcelain-like finish indefinitely. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir the paint thoroughly, pouring it back and forth from can to can. See that the surface to be painted is thoroughly dry and free from greasy substances, dirt and all loose paint. On new w r ork reduce two parts of the gloss paint with one part of pure turpentine for the first coat. For second and third coats apply the paint just as it comes in the can. On plaster walls use one coat of B. P. S. Liquid Filler, followed by two coats of the paint. If the work is to be finished gloss white the surface should be prepared by apply- ing two or more coats of B. P. S. Inside Flat White. Finish with two or more coats of the gloss white just as it comes in the can. For directions for use of a flat finish, see page 40. CREAM AZURE OLIVE GRAY LAVENDER PEA GREEN LIGHT BROWN RICH BROWN Page Twenty-eight B. P. S. NOBRAC— Black, Brown and Olive B. P. S. Nobrac is the best paint that can be produced for protecting all kinds of metal work exposed to the elements. All of the necessary qualities for the protection and preservation of iron and steel structures are incorporated in NOBRAC. It forms a tough, elastic coating that thoroughly prevents corrosion and rust. In case the paint film should be broken by outside agencies, rust or corrosion will not extend beyond the limits of the abrasion. This makes the cost of maintaining a structure painted with Nobrac very small, as these abrasions can be touched up with Nobrac and in this way the structure will be protected for a great many years. On account of its easy working and wonderful spreading qualities Nobrac is very economical, when the cost per square foot or ton is taken into consideration. This with the low maintenance cost makes Nobrac the best and most economical protective coating on the market. It is the best protective paint for all kinds of steel and iron work, such as tanks, supports, iron siding, gutters, valleys, downspouts, columns, underframes, fire escapes, fences, bridges, viaducts, roofs, window gratings, in fact, everything in iron and steel. Nobrac, over an ordinary metal surface, will cover from 800 to 1000 square feet per gallon, one coat. On structural work of the ordinary type one gallon will paint 5 tons, one coat; one gallon will cover more tons than this where the members are extremely heavy and, of course, less where they are light. Write for a copy of the “Nobrac Book,” which is a treatise on the preservation of iron and steel and which contains information of value to every one interested in this sub- ject. Many illustrations are shown of structures of all types in different parts of the country, showing the varied use of Nobrac and the wonderful results that have been obtained by its use. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir thoroughly before using. See that the surface to be painted is free from dirt, grease, mill scale or rust. Use wire brushes or scrapers to remove mill scale, rust or old paint. Apply one or more coats of B. P. S. Nobrac without any thinning or addition whatever. Allow at least 24 hours between coats. BLACK Sample of NOBRAC BLACK painted on silk, showing EXTREME ELASTICITY Page Twenty-nine B. P. S METAL PRESERVATIVE BLACK For a moderate priced paint B. P. S. Metal Preservative Black gives exceptional value. It can be used in a great many ways where a moderate priced paint is wanted, both inside and outside of buildings. This is especially true where there are a great many metal surfaces that are to be finished in light colors and are to be repainted frequently. In all cases these metal sur- faces should receive a priming coat of B. P. S. Metal Preservative Black, which will prevent rust from coming through and discoloring the light color finish. In case the metal surface is left black it should receive two, or better three coats of B. P. S. Metal Preservative Black. B. P. S. Metal Preservative Black, while moderate in cost, will prevent corrosion of iron and steel, both inside and outside of buildings, for a considerable period, and better than a great many of the so-called protective coatings on the market, at a higher price. It works easily, spreads well and dries with a good gloss and, under all reasonable weather con- ditions, will dry perfectly hard over night. A good, first-clqss, inexpensive black finish for such work as gutters, valleys, downspouts, iron siding, columns, pillars, frames, ornamental iron work, etc. DIRECTIONS FOR USE ^ r * • • . y, • * ^ % V * * Stir thoroughly before using.

It is also used for protecting iron and of water impregnated with either alkali or acid, dries hard over night. Works freely under the ceilings, pipes, tanks, etc., steel or iron. FOR USE that the surface to be painted is free from dirt, to remove rust or old paint. Apply one or more coats of B. P. S. Mill Black without any thinning or addition whatever. Allow at least 24 hours between coats. Page Thirty B. P. S. HULLEAD Patented Nov. 28th, 1916— No. 1,205,976 A Red Lead Paint B. P. S. Hullead is a liquid red lead paint ready for use. Experience has shown that a combination of pigments produces a better and more durable paint than one composed of a single pigment. Hullead is the ideal red lead paint, as it is composed of the correct percentage of red lead in combination with reinforcing pigments that will do more and better work and last longer than any red lead composition on the market, or red lead and oil hand mixed. Comes ready for use and does away with the time and labor necessary in hand mixing red lead and oil. Owing to the extreme fine grinding and intimate mixing of the B. P. S. Hullhead it will cover 25 per cent more surface than hand mixed red lead. On account of its easy work- ing properties, 25 per cent less time and labor is required for a given surface than when hand mixed red lead is used. Unlike hand mixed red lead, B. P. S. Hullhead will not settle or become hard in the package. It is especially adapted and has been used for many years in marine work on fresh and salt water where the requirements are especially severe. Manufactured for use on metal work of all kinds wherever a red lead paint is wanted , HULLEAD (A Red Lead Paint) DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir thoroughly before using. See that the surface to be painted is free from dirt grease and rust. Use wire brushes or scrapers to remove rust, mill scale or old paint. B. P. S. Hullead can be reduced with a half-gallon of raw linseed oil to the gallon of paint. Apply one or more coats as desired, allowing sufficient time between coats for the paint to become hard and dry. B. P. S. INSULATING BLACK All electrical apparatus should be given a coat of B. P. S. Insulating Black. This will prevent loss of current, at the same time preserving from rust and corrosion. Is an absolute non-conductor of electricity. Is a high-grade varnish black, drying hard with a high gloss. A tough, durable, elastic, quick-drying black. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir thoroughly before using. See that the surface is free from dirt or rust before painting. Use wire brushes or scrapers to remove rust or old paint. Apply one or more coats of B. P. S. Insulating Black without any thinning or addition whatever. Allow at least 24 hours between coats. Page Thirty-one B. P. S. STACK PAINTS B. P. S. Stack Paints are made to give the best possible results under existing conditions. We do not recommend any one particular paint for all stack treatment. Stacks, on account of their many differences as regards conditions, temperature, make-up, etc., require different treatment. A paint that will be satisfactory on a stack that does not reach a very high degree of heat will absolutely fail on a stack that does get very hot . On double stacks which do not reach a temperature of over 200 degrees, we recom- mend Nobrac (page 29) as the best paint for the purpose. On single stacks which reach a high degree of heat, we recommend our regular Smoke Stack Paint. Dries with a high gloss and will withstand a very high degree of heat, and when it does burn off it burns off clean, so that when it is necessary to repaint, the sur- face is smooth and free from charred paint. On very tall single stacks, it is often advisable to paint the top part— that part which is often hard to get at, and which part does not reach a very high degree of temperature, with Nobrac. The lower half, or part which does reach a high degree of heat and has to be finished frequently, should be painted with B. P. S. Stack Paint. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir thoroughly before using. See that the stacks are thoroughly cleaned before painting. Remove all old paint and rust by using wire brushes or scrapers. Apply one or more coats of B. P. S. Stack Paint (or Nobrac, as outlined above) without any thinning or addition whatever. Allow 24 hours between coats. B. P. S. LIQUID GRAPHITE B. P. S. Liquid Graphite is a strictly pure product, free from all impurities, and contains a high percentage of carbon. It is manufactured from artificial graphite, made in an electric furnace at the highest degree of heat possible to attain, insuring an absolutely pure product. Owing to the quality of the materials and the care used in its manufacture, B. P. S. Liquid Graphite is the best graphite paint on the market. Will be found most satisfactory in working and covering qualities and durability. Made in the natural color, gray; also black. The black is made by the addition of Carbon Black to secure the color sometimes desired in place of the natural color. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir thoroughly before using. See that the surface to be painted is free from dirt, grease, mill scale or rust. Use wire brushes or scrapers to remove mill scale, rust or old paint. Apply one or more coats of B. P. S. Liquid Graphite without any thinning or addition whatever. Allow plenty of time between coats. B. P. S. ASPHALTUMS B. P. S. Asphaltums are made of selected materials and contain no impurities or adulteration. Dry quickly and hard, producing a beautiful, smooth, jet-black finish, that is very tough and durable. Made in two grades: Turpentine Asphaltum and Benzine Asphaltum. Page Thirty-two B. P. S. GALVANIZED IRON PRIMER Paint will not adhere to galvanized iron unless the iron has first lx n coated \w a preparation to neutralize the action of the galvanic salts used in galvanizim iron. Paint applied directly to galvanized iron will check, peel and discolor. This trouble can only be overcome by using B. P. S. Galvanized Iron I Vi nr r a a first coat on all galvanized iron work. Do not apply any paint directly to the galvanized iron. First apph a coat of B. P. S. Galvanized Iron Primer which will permit the subsequent coats of paint to afford protection to the surface inherent in themselves. B. P. S. Galvanized Iron Primer is a colorless preparation and any desired shade or quality of paint can be used over it, but bear in mind that the better quality of paint u~< d the better will be the results obtained. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the surface is thoroughly dry and free from dirt, grease, rust and scale. Remove all scale and rust with wire brushes. Apply one coat of Galvanized Iron Prim, r just as it comes in the can. Allow 24 to 36 hours for the primer to become thoroughly dry and hard, then apply one or more coats of the paint selected for finishing, allowing plenty of time between coats. B. P. S. JAPANS AND DRIERS B. P. S. Japans and Driers, like all of our other products, are the best that can lie produced for the purpose. They are full strength driers and are neutral, having no deleterious effects on the materials in which they are used. COACH MAKER’S JAPAN EXTRA JAPAN DRIER TURPENTINE JAPAN JAPAN DRIER LIQUID DRIER GOLD SIZE JAPAN B. P. S. JAPANS B. P. S.

Flat Wall Finish is the product of years of experiment, and will produce upon all classes of walls a perfectly soft, velvety surface, unaffected by the excess of lime which so frequently destroys the ordinary wall finish. Being “An Enamel with the Shine Taken Out,” it has all of the qualities of enamel and the added advantage of a soft, even tone and velvety finish that reflects light without glaring high-lights or shadows. Aside from the beauty of B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish as a wall finish, it is an eco- nomical, permanent, sanitary finish, that will not discolor or fade, and that can be kept scrupulously clean. It is impervious to moisture and can be repeatedly washed with soap and water. It is from every point of view the correct finish for schools, churches, homes, public buildings, hospitals, stores, offices, mills, factories and workshops. On plaster, smooth or rough; on brick or concrete walls; on burlap walls or panels; over any fibre or composition board; on metal ceilings; even over old wall paper, it is the most satisfactory flat wall finish ever devised. B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish can be used with excellent results as a finish for interior woodwork where it is desired to carry out a color scheme to the last degree, as it imparts to the woodwork the soft, velvety finish that is characteristic of B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish wherever it is used. In short, B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish embodies every essential of a good wall finish in beauty, sanitation and economy. It has decided advantages of its own without the dis- advantages of wall paper, ordinary oil paint, water paint or calcimine. It is an ideal finish. B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish is made in a variety of colors, and if a shade different from any of these is desired, you can easily take the nearest shade and tone it with another tint of B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Shake well and stir thoroughly until of even consistency. B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish should not be brushed out, but applied freely with a full brush. All coats must be perfectly dry and hard before applying subsequent coats. Under favorable conditions, 48 hours between coats are necessary.

Flat Wall Finish, one part raw Linseed Oil. Second Coat-B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish as it comes in the can. Size is usually unneces- sary on old work. Careful and prompt attention will be given correspondence relative to special cases or unusual conditions. B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish can be washed without injury. Use clean, warm water and Ivory soap. Rinse well and wipe off with a damp cloth. Gloss oil or rosin oil compounds should never be used as a primer or first-coater on plaster surfaces which are subsequently to be painted. B. P. S. Flat Wall Finish is a perfectly satisfactory under-coating for enamels of all kinds. Page Forty B. P. S.

P. S. EXTERIOR ENAMELS B. P. S. Exterior Enamels are manufactured to supply the demand for enamel finishes subjected to exterior exposure. They are beautiful, durable, easy-working enamels, suitable for many varied uses, such as ornamental work, store fronts, trucks, wagons, or on wood and metal surfaces where an enamel finish is desired. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the work is thoroughly dry and clean. First coat, reduce one gallon of enamel with one pint of Turpentine. Second coat, just as it comes in the can. If more than two-coat work is desired, add one-half pint of Turpentine for the second coat. Page Forty-two B. P. S. ENAMEL WHITE This line consists of B. P. S. ENAMEL WHITE (snow white) B. P. S. IVORY WHITE ENAMEL B. P. S. FLAT ENAMEL WHITE (ivory white) B. P. S. BATH TUB ENAMEL They are THE HIGHEST GRADE ENAMELS POSSIBLE TO MAKE, being of the same quality, the difference being in the character of finish produced, and are the best white enamels for all classes of interior finishing where the highest grade finish is desired. B. P. S. ENAMEL WHITE (snow white) is a perfect enamel for the highest grade work; it dries with a full, rich luster and can be rubbed and polished to a high finish. IT IS AN INTENSE WHITE -AS WHITE AS SNOW; produces a smooth, even surface which does not show brush marks. Impervious to water, it is particularly desirable for bathrooms, hospitals and surfaces which must be frequently cleaned. B. P. S. IVORY WHITE ENAMEL is identical in every respect to B. P. S. Enamel White (snow white), with the exception of color. It is a soft, mellow, subdued white of beautiful tone and extreme richness. B. P. S. FLAT ENAMEL WHITE is an ivory white Flat Enamel, in every respect the same as B. P. S. Enamel White, excepting that it FINISHES A DEAD FLAT WHITE; produces a beautiful flat finish sometimes desired in place of a high enamel finish such as se- cured by the use of B. P. S. Enamel White (snow white) or B. P. S. Ivory White Enamel. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir B. P. S. Enamel White thoroughly before using and pour it back and forth from can to can. Apply with a chiseled varnish brush. See that the work is free from dirt and grease. OLD WORK. One or two coats are usually sufficient. When possible, smooth with fine sandpaper before applying the enamel. NEW WORK. Shellac all knots and sappy places, and finish with one coat of B. P. S. Semi-Flat White, two coats of B. P. S. Inside Flat White, and two coats - of B. P. S. Enamel White. Sandpaper each coat smooth and dust clean before applying succeeding coats. Thin the first coat of enamel with one part of Turpentine to four parts of enamel. Either gloss, egg shell or rubbed and polished finishes may be secured with this enamel. B. P. S. Telephone and Telegraph Pole Paints Are made of materials especially adapted for this work, ground to the last degree of fineness. Will successfully prevent checking and rotting of wooden poles. A coat or two applied to the butt end before placing in the ground greatly increases the life of the pole, as it prevents rotting and decay. B. P. S. Pole Paints are made in Black and Green, but any special shade can be furnished. For steel poles, we recommend that Nobrac be used, as it is the only paint that will prevent rust and corrosion. For description see page 29. For concrete poles we recommend B. P. S. Concrete Coating, which prevents . disintegration and absorption of moisture. For description see page 25. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Stir thoroughly before using. See that the work is free from dirt before painting. Apply one or more coats without any thinning or addition whatever. Allow twenty-four hours between coats. Page Forty-three B. P. S. PAINT AND VARNISH REMOVER B. P. S. Paint and Varnish Remover quickly removes old paint or varnish, leaving the surface in its original condition, ready for a new finish. Do not finish over a painted or varnished surface which has checked or blistered. Have the old finish removed with B. P. S. Paint and Varnish Remover, as very frequently a good deal of trouble is caused by undercoats. B. P. S. Paint and Varnish Remover is easy to apply, and no skill is necessary to remove an old finish perfectly. It is not injurious to the hands and will not discolor the sur- face, nor soften glue, nor raise the grain of the wood. Adapted to removing finishes of all kinds on any surface. DIRECTIONS FOR USE B. P. S. Paint and Varnish Remover must be well shaken before using. Use only brushes set in glue. Keep away from naked light or fire. Apply coat of Remover to painted or varnished surface with a soft brush, allowing it to remain from three to ten minutes, according to number and age of coats to be removed. When the paint or varnish is thoroughly softened, it can be easily removed with a putty knife. Then wipe off the surface with a rag dipped in benzine or alcohol. For such surfaces as carvings, headings, etc., use stiff bristle or steel brush after Remover has dissolved old finish. B. P. S. FLOOR WAX B. P. S. Floor Wax is a high-grade preparation, made of the best selected waxes. It is perfectly adapted to all purposes for which wax is used, finishing hard or soft woods, or floors. Will cover a greater surface and, unlike some waxes, will not become gummy nor turn white. Produces the best waxed finish. DIRECTIONS FOR USE For New Floors — Open-grained Woods — Fill well with B. P. S. Hardwood Paste Filler. Clean surface thoroughly and apply one coat of B. P. S. Floor Wax, spread evenly and thin. After twenty minutes rub lightly with weighted brush or cloth across the grain, then with the grain, to a hard polish. A second coat applied a few hours later will produce a still finer finish. Close-grained Woods -Substitute B. P. S. Liquid Filler for Paste Filler and treat same as open-grained woods. Old Floors — If floor has been varnished and is not marred or scratched, clean thoroughly with wet cloth and apply B. P. S. Floor Wax as on new floors. B. P. S. FURNITURE POLISH The best polish for all varnished or painted surfaces. Made of the best materials. Thoroughly cleans and renovates and will produce the highest possible polish. Does not become gummy or greasy and does not leave a bloom. Put up in one-gallon jugs only. Page Forty-four B. V. S. - “Best Varnish Sold” - B. V. S. TRAOE MARK REGISTERED B. V. S. VARNISH -Best Varnish Sold -is just what its name implies. The culmination of years of experience and thousands of tests to produce a var- nish that has all of the merits and none of the defects of previous products of the varnish maker’s art. The goal towards which every effort of the varnish maker has been directed THE PERFECT VARNISH. This ambition has been realized only after years of patient and painstaking research, thousands of tests - scrupuously exact in every detail, coupled with a thorough knowledge of the principles involved, backed by the years of experience of masters of their art. The embodiment of Oriental discovery of varnish and lacquer manufacture, in combination with Occidental thrift, stability, science, ingenuity and progress. It combines the knowledge of the wily Chinaman -the discoverer of the art of varnish manufacture; the adaptability of the Japanese, who have been famed for ages for the quality of their lacs; the thrift of the Hollanders, who have been leaders for years in the art; the stability of the Briton, who has built on a solid foundation for years; the exact science of the German chemist, who was the first to introduce science in manufacturing — with resourceful American ingenuity and progress. Retaining that which was good — the principles that have stood the acid test of time— discarding that which was bad, that goal towards which we have all been striving, that desideratum of all varnish makers has been reached— THE PERFECT VARNISH B. V. S.-BEST VARNISH SOLD. QUALITY FIRST. The first and only consideration in mind in making this line of varnish was quality. Let the price be what it might, we aimed to produce a varnish that would hold the same enviable place in the varnish world that has always been held by B. P. S. — BEST PAINT SOLD— in the paint world. THE PRICE? The same as you pay for an ordinary varnish. Improved methods of manufac- ture, certain new and secret processes whereby we avail ourselves of economies heretofore impossible, make this possible. Science, care, attention to detail, and the proper manipulation of the different ingredients combine to produce THE PERFECT VARNISH. No pains or expense are spared to make B. V. S. — BEST VARNISH SOLD — the very best the market affords— THE PERFECT VARNISH. WON’T TURN WHITE Page Forty-five B. V. S. EXTERIOR VARNISH Made especially for severe exposure to the elements. Sun or rain, frost or snow, have no effect on B. V. S. Being a very elastic varnish, it expands and contracts with the surface under- neath, presenting at all times a surface impervious to all climatic influences. Its elasticity is the proof of its durability. As long as a varnish retains its elasticity, just so long does it retain its durability and its resisting power to outside influences. When it no longer expands and contracts, con- forming to the expansion and contraction of the surface underneath, due to changes in climatic conditions, then does its durability become impaired and marks the beginning of its deteriora- tion. B. V. S. Exterior Varnish is elastic, therefore durable. It will not scratch nor mar white, and will not turn white in hot or cold water. No better varnish can be made for porches, entrance doors, store fronts, vesti- bules, bathrooms, laundries, vessels, yachts, and all surfaces exposed to fresh or salt water or exposed to the elements. Dries dust-proof in about twelve hours. Can be rubbed and polished. Three days’ time should be allowed before rubbing. Time and tide have no effect on B. V. S. — THE PERFECT VARNISH. WON’T TURN WHITE B. V. S. INTERIOR VARNISH The varnish for the highest grade of interior finishing, where best possible results are desired. Has a brilliant luster that lasts. Is elastic, consequently durable. Particularly adapted for interior work subjected to constant usage. Works very freely and is self-leveling — does not show brush marks. Can be rubbed and polished. Extremely elastic. Outwears any varnish on the market. Secure a B. V. S. Test Paddle (had for the asking). Pound it with a hammer. You can dent the wood, but you won’t break the varnish film - a proof of its elasticity. Scratch it with your thumb nail. It will not powder, nor turn white. Pour hot or cold water over it, or hold it over live steam. It will not disinte- grate nor turn white — a proof of its wonderful durability and power to withstand outside influences. Fulfills in every way every requirement of an Interior Finishing Varnish. Particularly adapted for interior finishing of all kinds — hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, furniture of all kinds, public buildings, churches, schools, hospitals, institutions, hotels, offices, stores, etc. Is an extremely heavy-bodied, pale varnish that finishes with a beautiful gloss.

RUBBED FINISH VARNISH This varnish produces a flat finish for interior work and gives a perfect rubbed effect without the expense of rubbing down a gloss coat. It has good color and body, and flows out well. For all interior use where a rubbed finish effect is desired. Page Forty-scCcn B. P. S. RUBBING AND POLISHING VARNISH B. P. S. Rubbing and Polishing Varnish is a high-grade varnish at a medium price. It is a full-bodied, free-working varnish for all classes of interiors.

Dries in twenty-four hours with a first-class, wear-resisting finish. Page Forty-nine B. P. S. LIQUID FILLER B. P. S. Liquid Filler is the best surfacer for close-grained woods, and a coat should be applied over paste filler used on open-grained woods, except when finishing floors. It is transparent and brings out the natural grain of the most delicate woods perfectly. As it contains no rosin, benzine or alkali, it will not turn white under the varnish. All close-grained woods (except floors) should be given a coat of B. P. S. Liquid Filler before varnishing. On plastered walls apply one coat of B. P. S. Liquid Filler before painting. The best liquid filler where first-class results are desired. B. P. S. CLEAR LIQUID FILLER A first-class first coater for all varnish surfaces at a low cost. It is a transparent surfacer for all close-grained woods and for open-grained woods (except floors) over paste filler. Dries hard, giving a perlect foundation for succeeding varnish coats. B. P. S.

Hardwood Paste Filler should be used on all open grained woods before varnishing. Makes an indestructible and perfectly smooth surface that holds out the succeed- ing coats of varnish boldly. Will not shrink in the pores of the wood. Particularly well adapted to high-grade furniture, as well as interior finishing. To secure the best results we recommend a coat of B. P. S. Liquid Filler be applied over the paste filler, except when finishing floors. SHADES LIGHT 12TH CENTURY GREEN DARK GOLDEN OAK DIRECTIONS FOR USE Thin B. P. S. Hardwood Paste Filler with Turpentine or Benzine to a proper consistency (about 1-4 pint to a pound of Filler). Apply with a brush.

Filler can be tinted with dry colors. If hard, soften with a little Turpentine. Paste Fifty-one B. P. S. BOILER FRONT ENAMEL No. 316 We have been selling this material successfully for a number of years in our Marine Department for the painting of marine engines, funnels, smoke stacks and other places ex- posed to extreme heat, and where the conditions are unusually severe. B. P. S. Boiler Front Enamel No. 316 will withstand such extreme heat as 1000 degrees and we recommend its use on boiler fronts and stacks. It produces a very beautiful, glossy finish, covers well and is rather heavy in con- sistency, but works very freely when applied on metal that is slightly heated. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the surface is clean and free from rust. Remove rust with wire brushes. Stir thoroughly before using and apply when surface is slightly heated. B. P. S. CEMENT HARDENER Is a liquid preparation for application to Cement or Concrete Floors or any other Cement or Concrete work where a hard, non-porous surface, free from dust, is desired. This fluid combines with and becomes part of the Cement. It penetrates the surface and binds the particles of the composition together so as to effectually prevent powder- ing off and the resultant worn surface and dusty atmosphere. If applied to new Cement, the natural wearing qualities of the surface are greatly strengthened. An old, worn surface is improved and further deterioration is prevented by a liberal application of B. P. S. Cement Hardener. B. P. S. Cement Hardener is colorless, and where service is required rather than beauty of appearance, an occasional application of this fluid will preserve the Cement surface from ordinary wear as long as may be desired. It is not affected by water and prevents absorption and injury to the cement when washed or scrubbed. B. P. S. Cement Hardener should be applied liberally to the surface with a brush, allowing as much as the cement will absorb easily. The quantity required cannot be definitely stated on account of the great variation in porosity of the surface to be treated. One gallon is sufficient to treat from 500 to 1000 square feet of surface according to the absorbing qualities of the cement. B. P. S. Cement Hardener is recommended as a primer before applying B. P. S. Cement Floor Coating. By hardening the surface it decreases the quantity of Cement Floor Coating required to cover the surface and by preventing disintegration of the cement it length- ens the life of the Floor Coating finish. B. P. S. PAT-A-LAC (Gum Cut in Alcohol ) B. P. S. Pat-a-Lac can be used for any purpose for which a Shellac is required. B. P. S. Pat-a-Lac has all the merits of the highest grade Shellacs and gives per- fect satisfaction wherever a Shellac is used. It is made with the best gum that can be obtained for the purpose and can be relied upon to produce a perfectly durable finish when used in conjunction with a high-grade varnish. B. P. S. Pat-a-Lac produces a satisfactory foundation for varnish. It fills and seals the pores of the wood and is impervious to moisture. It is transparent and does not obscure the natural beauty of the wood. It spreads easily and covers a large surface per gallon, dries quickly and sandpapers easily. B. P. S. Pat-a-Lac can be used as a priming coat for pitchy lumber, knots, etc., before painting or enameling. It can also be used for pipe joints, as it will make a permanently non-leakable joint on pipes used for any purpose. B. P. S. Pat-a-Lac is the most economical and durable Shellac material that can be made. Page Fifty-two B. P. S. Oil, REFINERS’ TANK PAINT B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Tank Paint is made especially for use on tanks in oil refin- eries. Paint used for this purpose is subjected to unusually severe conditions and must be made to withstand successfully these severe conditions. B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Tank Paint fills the requirements in every way, as it has proven by actual use to be the best paint made for this purpose. It dries hard, yet is elastic- enough to cling tightly to the metal, finishes with a good gloss, coveres perfectly, will out- wear any similar goods on the market, and is NOT AFFECTED BY SULPHUR FUMES. Can also be used successfully on any other metal, brick or wood surfaces. The most popular shades of B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Paint are shown below, but any special shade can be furnished. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the surface is thoroughly dry and clean. Remove all rust or old loose paint with wire brushes. Stir the paint thoroughly before and after reduction. For first coat reduce the paint with one quart of pure raw Linseed Oil to the gallon of paint. For second coat use one pint of pure raw Linseed Oil to the gallon of paint. Good results will not be obtained by reducing with Gasoline or Naphtha. See that the paint is well brushed out when applied. No. 4 No. 5 No. 3 No. 8 No. 7 No. 0 No. 9 Also made in Oil Refiners’ Tank Paint White No. I and Black No. 2 Page Fifty-three B. P. S. OIL REFINERS’ TANK CAR PAINTS As the majority of tank cars are painted black, we recommend B. P. S. TANK CAR BLACK No. 650 as the best for this class of work. B. P. S. Tank Car Black is very elastic, dries hard with a good gloss, covers a large surface, works easily and is very durable. If a cheaper finish is desired, we would recommend B. P. S. SPECIAL BLACK GRAPHITE No. 464. If a color other than black is desired, we can furnish B. P. S. Tank Car Paint in any shade shown on preceding page under B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Tank Paint, or any special shade upon application. For the painting of trucks we would recommend B. P. S. Black Elastic or B. P. S. Special Graphite No. 2004. DIRECTIONS FOR USE B. P. S. Tank Car Black or B. P. S. Special Graphite No. 464 should be applied just as they come in container without any reduction whatever, one or two coats as desired. Be sure that the paint is stirred thoroughly, well brushed out, and that first coat is thoroughly dry before second coat is applied. For other shades, follow directions as given on preceding page under B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Tank Paint. For painting of trucks, B. P. S. Special Graphite No. 2004 should be applied just as it comes in container, but B. P. S. Black Elastic can be reduced with Gasoline if too heavy. See page 56. See that car is cleaned of all grease, dirt, rust and mill scale before painting. NOTE — If tank cars are not to be painted in a hurry and time can be allowed for the paint to dry thoroughly, we would recommend B. P. S. NOBRAC PAINT, descrip- tion and directions for use of which will be found on page 29. B. P. S. INTERIOR TANK CAR ENAMEL This material is made for the finishing of the interior of tank cars. As a matter of fact, tank cars should be protected on the inside as well as the out- side. Rust and corrosion attack the interior of a car in the same way as they do the exterior. Painting the interior of the car (with the proper material) will not only prevent rust and corrosion, but will assist in keeping the contents of the car clean while in transit. It permits also of easy cleaning of the car before or after use. In fact, a car can be kept as clean as a porcelain dish at very little expense. However, paint to successfully meet these requirements must be made especially for this purpose, as the conditions are very severe. Any paint will not answer for this purpose, as the solvent properties of the liquids transported in the cars are such that a paint for this purpose must be made to withstand this action. B. P. S. INTERIOR TANK CAR ENAMEL fills all the requirements perfectly. It prevents corrosion and dries very hard with a porcelain-like finish that is unaffected by the contents of the car and that can be easily and cheaply cleaned. It is made as a primer and an enamel in white only. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the interior of the car is thoroughly dry and clean. Remove rust and mill scale with wire brushes. Apply one coat of the primer. Leave the car open to air out and assist the drying of the primer. Allow the primer forty-eight to sixty hours to dry, then apply the enamel. At least three days should be allowed the enamel to dry, longer if possible, as the longer time the enamel is allowed to dry before use the harder it will become. See that the paint is stirred thoroughly and applied just as it comes in the package. Page Fifty-four B. P. S. OIL REFINERS’ PUMP ENAMELS For the painting of pumps and engines that do not reach a high degree of heat we recommend B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Pump Enamels, as they will successfully withstand heat up to 200 degrees. B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Pump Enamels work easily, cover a great surface, dry hard with a good, glossy enamel finish, are oil proof and very durable and can be cleaned easily. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the surface to be painted is well cleaned of all dirt, grease and rust. Then apply the Pump Enamel, two coats, just as it comes in container. The Enamel should be well stirred before being applied. YELLOW DARK BLUE BLUE BLACK B. P. S. MACHINERY & ENGINE ENAMEL For pumps and engines that reach a higher degree of heat we recommend B. P. S. Machinery and Engine Enamel, description of which and directions for use of which will be found on page 24. Page Fifty -five B. P. S. OIL REFINERS’ PAINT— BLACKS The best paint for iron and steel is B. P. S. NOBRAC, description and directions for use of which can be found on page 29. B. P. S. METAL PRESERVATIVE BLACK (page 30) and B. P. S. LIQUID GRAPHITE (page 32), for lower priced paints, are first-class in every way. B. P. S. HARD DRYING BLACK A paint to be used upon any exterior or interior iron or steel work, piping, etc., where a glossy enamel finish is desired. B. P. S. Hard Drying Black, as its name implies, dries very quickly and very hard with an excellent, glossy enamel finish and is very durable. B. P. S. SPECIAL GRAPHITE No. 464 An unusual value at the price, being the superior of many graphite paints sold at a much higher price. Covers a large surface per gallon, spreads easily and dries with a black, durable finish. B. P. S. SPECIAL GRAPHITE No. 2004 An excellent piece of goods for use where a medium-priced graphite is wanted. Works easily, covers a large surface and with no waste. B. P. S. BLACK ELASTIC Suitable for painting metal or composition roofing. Dries quickly and hard, pro- ducing a beautiful, smooth, jet black finish that is tough and durable. We also recommend B. P. S. Black Elastic for underground pipe, as it contains no coal tar or creosote. It is very heavy in consistency and will stand a reduction of at least one-half gallon of reducer to the gallon of paint, reducer to consist of three pints of Gaso- line and one pint of Kerosene. It is safe to estimate that the covering capacity of B. P. S. Black Elastic on six-inch pipe, without reduction, will be twenty gallons to the mile and on four-inch pipe fifteen gallons to the mile. With the reduction as mentioned, six-inch pipe twelve to fifteen gallons to the mile and on four-inch pipe eight to ten gallons to the mile. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the surface is thoroughly dry and free from rust. Remove rust with wire brushes. Apply all black paints, except Black Elastic, just as they come in container with- out any reduction whatever, one or two coats as desired. See that the paint is well stirred and well brushed out. Page Fifty -six B. P. S. BOILER FRONT ENAMEL No. 316 For engines, funnels, smokestacks, boiler fronts and stacks. This enamel will withstand heat as high as 1000 degrees. For description and directions for use see page f> 2. B. P. S. STACK PAINT No. 2 Where boiler fronts and stacks do not reach such a high degree of heat we would recommend B. P. S. Stack Paint No. 2, description and directions for applying which will be found on page 32. B. P. S. OIL REFINERS’ STRUCTURAL PAINT As most of the buildings around Casinghead plants are buildings of which the structural work is structural steel and the roofs and sides are of corrugated iron, either gal- vanized or black, we recommend B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Structural Paint as a first-class paint for painting of such structures. B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Structural Paint can be used successfully on structural steel and on the inside and outside of roofs and siding. It covers well, dries hard with a good gloss, clings very closely to the metal, and wall not peel nor fade. DIRECTIONS FOR USE See that the surface is cleaned of all dirt, grease, rust and mill scale before painting. For first coat, reduce paint by using one quart of pure raw Linseed Oil to the gallon of paint, and one pint of pure raw Linseed Oil to the gallon of paint, second coat. See that the paint is well stirred both before and after reduction and that it is well brushed out when applied. Allow plenty of time for the paint to dry between coats. For painting galvanized iron we would recommend that a coat of GALVANIZED IRON PRIMER be applied first, description of same and directions for use of which will be found on page 38. NOTE — We can furnish B. P. S. Oil Refiners’ Structural Paint in white or any of the shades shown in our Mill and Mine Village Paint, as shown on page 35. SHELLACS (FOR PIPE JOINTS) B. P. S. ORANGE SHELLAC is the best for this purpose, as it is an unusually heavy-bodied shellac, made from pure shellac gum and special denatured alcohol. It is abso- lutely pure and contains no adulteration whatever. Page Fifty-scccn The Patterson-Sargent Press 192 G19 3906
