Very trul^ yours, Peaslee-Gaulbert Company, INCORPORATED Makers of Good Paint Since 1867. LOUISVILLE ft ^mwmiwwimw^ww^miwr^miwwmr^'WWiwwmwwmwmwmTm^wmwwmwwwwwmmi ASTIC Paint was among the first strictly pure paints to be put on the mar- ket and its high standard of purity and general excellence have been constant- ly maintained since it was first introduced, forty years ago. Owing to its dur- ability, it is justly entitled to be called “The Kind That Lasts.” The reason for this widespread popularity of Mastic are important to the pros- pective paint purchaser. Mastic is a double pigment paint composed of strictly pure White Lead and Zinc Oxide ground in pure raw Linseed Oil with the necessary dryers and tinting color, and nothing else — being absolutely free from any adulterants or inert cheapening materials. The good results obtained by the use of the strictly pure double pigment formula are evidenced by the enormous increase in our sales of Mastic Paint during recent years and are further verified by the careful investigations and exhaustive tests made by ourselves and by other leading paint manufacturers of this country through the National Association of Paint Manufacturers. Many people wonder why, several months after painting a building, the surface apparently loses its bright, glossy appearance, getting dull and flat, even to the extent of dusting off, whereas other houses in the same locality, painted under the same con- ditions, retain a luster and hard, enamel-like finish for years. In the light of our present-day advanced knowledge of scientific paint-making, the fallacy of using ordinary keg lead alone is apparent. White Lead makes an excellent base for pure, high-grade paint, and is useful up to a certain limit — that limit does not exceed 50 per cent. ; but it must be reinforced with a good Zinc Oxide in the right proportion and ground (not paddled) in pure Lin- seed Oil to secure the durability, hardness and weather-resisting qualities essential to a good result. A paint film protects only just so long as it remains hard, glossy and impervious to moisture. Linseed Oil is what gives paint its gloss and is the life and essence of all good paint. An insufficient amount of oil results in a paint that is lacking in durabil- ity. White Lead alone will absorb only from 6 to 8 per cent, of its bulk of Linseed Oil. Zinc Oxide will absorb 22 per cent, of its bulk, consequently a paint carrying a safe percentage of zinc will outwear and outlast one made of lead alone. Allowing in the case of the all-White Lead Paint 8 per cent, of oil, fully half this small proportion penetrates the wood, leaving only 4 per cent, to bind the surface film together — entirely too little. It soon disintegrates under the chemical action of the lead, leaving a dry, flat, powdery film that is no protection at all, moisture striking through it almost as quickly as it would through a lime or whitewash coating. Zinc Oxide, of a selected type, combined with lead in the right proportion and ground together by machinery, reinforces the lead pigment and alters its deficiencies. This is the true solution of the Paint Question. Those who contemplate painting this season, by investigating beforehand the quality and composition of the paint they use, will save themselves many dollars of cost in wear and service. You can’t paint right unless you get the right paint. In- sure good results by getting MASTIC PAINT — “The Kind That Lasts.” P a a e Four BODY— Mastic Warm Gray. DESIGN No. 75. TRIM — Mastic White.

Page T w e n l y - t w o rjjirjn Ml . 1 r. I fir in* P mmm ill!" Pee Gee Flatkoatt X IMPORTANT as is the exterior painting: of a home, both for protection and for general beautification, the owner must needs give even greater attention to the interior walls, ceil- ings, floors and woodwork, which offer an unlimited field for the display of artistic and discriminating taste. The purpose of interior finishing is to a large extent purely dec- orative, and the utilitarian ideas of protective painting can here be safely put aside. Success in decoration depends largely on an understanding of colors. Tiring of a color is a confession that it has been poorly chosen with respect to other colors at which one is compelled to look. You must know the difference between colors and tones and what is meant by harmony if you are to evolve a perfect color scheme. For the purpose in hand, we will consider that (with the exception of black and white) there are only three colors which cannot be made by a combination of other colors. These three colors are red, yellow and blue. Experiments tried upon people with these three colors have proven that red has the effect, psychologically, of exciting the observer, blue of depressing, and yellow of cheering and soothing his mental faculties. Any hue which is obtained by a mixture of the three primary colors in whatever proportion constitutes a tone. Commonly speaking, tones are, therefore, softened colors. All colors which end with “ish,” such as bluish, grayish, reddish-brown, yellowish green, are tones and can be used with safety on large surfaces. Color, therefore, is a very important essential. It has been happily and aptly defined by em- inent art authority as “the music of light,” and it is absolutely necessary that the decorations of your walls and ceilings harmonize with the furnishings of your room, whatever the size or purpose. Another important feature is the permanence of the colors, and the possibilities of restoring them without injury to the tone, surface or appearance. In the finish and decoration of rooms the one question is color. It is the question of having your finishing done right at the start. Once finish your walls right and you will not have to worry about the arrangement of furniture, the hanging of draperies, paintings or pictures for covering up defects so common with ordinary materials. It is these advantages that have laid the foundation of a lasting popularity for Pee Gee Flat- koatt, the modern flat oil wall finish. Then there is that satisfying range of colors — deep, pure colors and delicate hues and tints — all available in Pee Gee Flatkoatt. Your moods, your tempera- ment, your individual tastes cannot fail to be satisfied. No matter how large your house or what original color scheme you desire, Pee Gee Flatkoatt will give a pleasing treatment for every room and hallway. The keynote of modern home art is simplicity in harmony. Bright colors and intricate designs are not conducive to mental poise. Walls and ceilings must not intrude — they must be con- stantly subordinated to the personalities within the home. Good taste requires simple pure pigments of a lasting sort put on the walls of your home in a quiet, permanent manner, taking into consid- eration the general color scheme of woodwork and walls together before definitely selecting the auxiliary colors. This is the secret of correct decoration. When you select Pee Gee Flatkoatt for your walls and ceilings, you select for simplicity, the final edict in modern interior decoration. The perfect wall is the wall finished with Pee Gee Flatkoatt. It is the only means by which you can arrive at the most pleasing combination of color and color effect. Page Twenty-three A HOMELIKE LIVING ROOM ilintr — Dropped and Panelled — Flatkoatt Rich Cream. Dystain, Dark Mahogany. Pee Gee Flatkoatt is a flat oil finish. It simplifies and solves the problem of finishing your walls and ceilings, for the reason that it affords such an infinite variety of shade, tone, color and possibilities for combination for producing any result desired. The three interior views shown herewith serve to illustrate some frequently-used color combi- nations of Pee Gee Flatkoatt, well chosen and typical of the many beautiful possibilities. It is beyond the scope of this booklet to attempt a lengthy discourse on art in the home. This subject is fully covered in our handsome book, “The Modern Method of Decorating Walls,” which will be sent free on request to any house owner. The estimated covering capacity of Pee Gee Flatkoatt for Different Surfaces (using plaster meas- urements, making no allowance for openings), is as follows: Smooth Finish Plaster. — If not previously painted, one-half gallon First Coater and one gallon Pee Gee Flatkoatt to 300 square feet of surface for a finished job. If previously painted with oil paint, figure one-fifth gallon First Coater and one gallon Flatkoatt for 300 square feet for finished job. This also applies for woodwork and steel ceilings. Sand Finish Plaster — If previously unpainted, one-half gallon First Coater and one gallon Flat- koatt for 200 to 225 square feet for finished job. If previously painted with oil paint, figure one- fifth gallon First Coater and one gallon Flatkoatt for 225 to 250 square feet for a finished job.

China Enamel White G HE cardinal feature of the bathroom interior, shown on page twenty-six, is the use of Pee Gee China Enamel White. This pure, clean-looking white is capable of both gloss or egg shell finish, which is produced with repeated coats successively rubbed to eliminate the gloss. Nothing is more pleasing than a bright, cheerful bedroom, dainty bathroom or well lighted hallway trimmed in beautiful China Enamel White amid delicate tints of Pee Gee Flatkoatt on the walls. This high-grade enamel will stand hard usage and resist moisture. It is capable of preserving its original tone-value under hard rubbing. Pee Gee China Enamel gives a beautiful porcelain effect on any surface and is unsurpassed for woodwork or walls in homes or clubhouses whose interior decorations are of the old colonial style. It is also extensively used in the cabins of steamships or pleasure craft, and in hospitals, where a smooth, glossy, hard, non-porous surface is required from a sanitary standpoint. When used over keen cement, a duplicate of tile is obtained at less than half the cost of tile. Being non-porous, it can be washed to better advantage than any other finish. A perfect job of White Enamel work will last a lifetime. Full directions for application on every can. Write for free booklet on China Enamel White, telling all about the use of enamels in the home. Page Twenty - six Pee Gee Dystain and Specification Varnishes W 00D is ordinarily finished in either one of two ways — transpar- ent or opaque. Transparent finishes and stains are used on hard or soft woods and show the natural grain. Opaque paints are used on soft woods where it is desired to obscure the grain. The natural grain effect is generally preferred and is accomplished in three steps — staining, filling and surface finishing — with either var- nish or wax, according to the judgment of the owner. Varnish is more durable, but scars; wax does not. For mission effects wax is used almost exclusively, and, on floors, wax can be frequently renewed without trouble. Whether varnish or wax is used, Pee Gee Penetrating Dystain should be first applied. Pee Gee Dystain is a high-grade penetrating stain, dif- ferent from other stains, as it penetrates into the wood, colors it just the right shade and is very permanent under strong light; has excellent brushing properties, sets slowly, shows no laps nor streaks and will not rub up as do inferior stains. Pee Gee Dystain is put up in glass bottles and wide-mouthed glass jars only and come in the following sizes: Gallons, half-gallons, quarts, pints, half-pints, in the following standard shades : Light Oak, Golden Oak, Brown Oak, Early English, Weathered Oak, Fumed Oak, Flemish Oak, Bog Oak, Moss Green, Light Mahogany and Dark Mahogany. When the stain is thoroughly dry, filler is applied. Pee Gee Liquid Surfacer will suffice for all woodwork excepting floors, which require Pee Gee Paste Filler in every case. The finishing coats should be Pee Gee Floor Wax or Pee Gee Specifi- cation Varnishes chosen from the following: Light Hard Oil, Inside Preservative, Flat Finish or Floor Varnish. As their name indicates, these high-grade varnishes are designed for particular effects so frequent- ly required in the specifications of architects. If you desire special information regarding the application of these finishes to produce certain effects, write our Art Department for advice. Let us help you solve your problem. P a A e Twenty 2 B Pee Gee Household Finishes are many occasions when the careful housekeeper finds good use for a ■ ^ j handy can of paint and a small brush. These little household jobs are inexpen- sive and often require less than fifteen minutes’ time to do, yet the improved appearance of the home and surroundings may well arouse a feeling of par- donable pride in the mind of the owner. To meet this growing demand, we offer the complete line of Pee Gee Household Finishes, with special uses as enumerated below: PEE GEE RE-NU-LAC renews and restores with a single operation the effect of natural woods in a varnish finish. This combined stain and varnish works wonders for floors, furniture and interior woodwork. RE-NU-LAC Dead Black is used on andirons, grate fronts, fixtures and all metal surfaces where a dull black finish is desired. RE-NU-LAC Gold and Aluminum are for radiators, pipes, chandeliers and similar surfaces where the finish must withstand a moderate heat. PEE GEE SCREEN ENAMEL, a durable rust preventive designed for screen wire and frames alike. Will not clog mesh. Made in four standard colors. PEE GEE HYDROLITE, a special bathtub enamel white, capable of withstand- ing scalding water. Suitable for both wood and metal surfaces. PEE GEE BLUE RIBBON FAMILY PAINTS for both outdoor and indoor use is suitable for painting shelves, kitchen furniture, storage boxes, medicine chests, flower pot stands, vine trelises and many other household uses. Dries with a good gloss. Made in 20 colors and white. PEE GEE PORTLANITE, a paint for concrete and cement surfaces, is made in both gloss and dull finish. Suitable for outside foundations and for basement walls and floors. PORTLANITE GLOSS is especially valuable in keeping out moisture from damp cellars. Both gloss and dull are made in six different colors. PEE GEE SWING PAINT is an ideal coating for swings, porch chairs and lawn furniture. These attractive colors not only beautify your outdoor furniture, but add greatly to its life. Bright strong colors to select from. Page Twenty-eight PEE GEE IMPLEMENT PAINT is particularly useful about the farm. Rot and rust are always active in farm implements and tools. A coat of PEE GEE IMPLE- MENT PAINT will add years of service by preventing the otherwise certain action of rusting. This paint will repay many times its small cost to the user. It is also suit- able for farm wagons and vehicles for heavy use. <§> # <§> ■§> <§> PEE GEE CARRIAGE PAINT is a reliable high-gloss varnish finish paint for bug- gies and light vehicles requiring a neat, dainty, clean-cut finish. Can be striped if desired. Eight bright colors. <§> <§> ■§- <§> PEE GEE ENAMEL TOP DRESSING is a finish for protecting and restoring the original luster to buggy tops, dashboards, grips, satchels and leather goods of all kinds. It gives a rich black gloss that keeps out moisture and preserves the surface. <§> <#> <§> <§• <§■ Bare kitchen and pantry floors are always troublesome to keep clean and it is out of the question to use rugs or carpets in such rooms. Painted floors overcome these difficulties. Half an hour’s work gives your floor a durable and sanitary finish, pleas- ing to the eye, easy to keep clean and hard to wear out. PEE GEE ADAMANT FLOOR PAINT is the best paint for this purpose. A floor painted at night can be walked over the next morning. Adamant completely covers the grain of the wood and successfully obscures all unsightly marks and scratches. Dries with a fine gloss. It is waterproof and can be scrubbed with soap and water without injury. A variety of standard neu- tral shades is afforded, and also several splendid brighter colors well adapted for bor- der treatments. One gallon covers 250 square feet, two coats. <§> <§> <§> <§> Porch Floors require a special paint since outdoor floors have to withstand ex- tremely severe conditions. Not only must they resist constant wear and abrasion from passing feet but also wet and dry weather changes, summer and winter. PEE GEE PORCH PAINT possesses the necessary hardness and yet sufficient elasticity to meet these requirements properly. The line comprises well chosen subdued tones that will not show dust, and are absolutely unfading. <^> <§> <#> <#• Neglected barns and outbuildings are not only very unsightly but depreciate rap- idly if not given a coat of paint for protection. PEE GEE BRILLIANT RED BARN PAINT, ready for use, is designed to meet these requirements. This strong bright red will outwear any other roof paint on the market for the same money. Its cover- ing quality is also excellent. Where the surface is weather-beaten, we recommend two coats for best results. The first coat acts as a primer and the second coat insures thorough covering and a uniform job. Well painted outbuildings add greatly to the ap- pearance of your place and a coat of good paint saves the timbers from decay. Page Twenty- nine Mastic Paint “THE KIND THAT LASTS” X S absolutely strictly pure, made on a base of strictly Pure White Lead, reinforced with Zinc Oxide, combining the merits of both pigments without the defects of either, used alone. To this base we add the necessary Pure Tinting Colors, all then being thor- oughly mixed and ground together by the most improved machinery, in Pure Linseed Oil, to a uniform fineness and consistency. This does not mean a thin or uncertain paint, as Mastic Paint is suffi- ciently heavy for any job. You will have to thin it for the priming coat. A painter who has a surface which requires the paint to be of a dif- ferent body for the various coats will find in Mastic Paint exactly what he wants, namely, a heavy-bodied paint, adapted for all classes of work, thus saving hours of labor in mixing white lead and oil, or paste paints; all loss and waste is avoided, besides it spreads easier than white lead and covers more surface. You secure in Mastic Paint the greatest covering capacity obtainable in any paint. The life of Mastic Paint is the longest, because of its purity; thus you have the greatest durability. Covering capacity and durability both combined in one paint makes Mastic the cheapest that can be bought. It is not cost per gallon, but how much your paint bill is per each year of service, that measures the value of your paint. PEA5LEE-GAULBERT CO. INCORPORATED MAKERS LOUISVILLE, KT.
