Sunny Optimism and Distin- 
 guished Elegance Economically 
 Achieved hy Enamel Decoration 
 
 0 /EN sunless days are genial with good cheer! No gloomy 
 corners or lurking shadows! Enamel decoration gives a 
 new sense of spaciousness, a feeling of greater airiness, an effect 
 of abiding optimism and bright-sky cheerfulness. 
 
 Best of all, this decorative agent brings conspicuous’ individual- 
 ity within the price range of average work. 
 
 It instantly gives the elaborate residence, bungalow or apartment 
 artistic individuality — makes them emphatically and whole- 
 somely different. Even the smallest, most simple interior 
 enamel-decorated achieves a place in the class of genuinely 
 artistic interiors — of pleasing personality and individuality. 
 
 Suitability — the keynote of artistic decoration finds its truest 
 expression in enamel decoration — for the ballroom or drawing 
 room, the living room and sleeping room — and also for the 
 bath and kitchen where cleanliness and durability are demanded 
 to the utmost. 
 
 But the beauty, elegance, optimism, economy and enduring 
 satisfaction of enamel decoration demands perfection in the 
 mirror-smooth, unblemished enamel surface. Anything less than 
 perfection is failure.

This means the strict use of highest grade enamel — Pitcairn 
 Banzai Enamel. 
 
 This enamel “flows like carriage varnish.” It shows no laps or 
 brush marks — which means that the decorator will easily 
 achieve the immaculate surface which is the beauty of enamel 
 decoration. This distinctive flowing quality is your safety factor 
 against any compromise of unblemished perfection. 
 
 Pitcairn Banzai Enamel is so elastic that you may dent the 
 finished wood with a hammer without fracturing the enamel. 
 You may freeze an enameled wood panel in a solid cake of ice 
 and melt it out again without harming the enamel. 
 
 1 his remarkable elasticity means an incalculable durability in 
 the decoration of an interior, no matter in what climate or what 
 the heating system. 
 
 This durability extends the economical use of Banzai Enamel 
 to commercial interiors, such as bakeries, markets, ice cream 
 factories, florists, retail stores, etc., including the cabins of yachts, 
 and also yacht freeboards where it is subjected to the wash of 
 the waves. Such extreme durability encourages its use for 
 porches and entrances of residences. 
 
 Pitcairn Banzai Enamel may be tinted as desired — may be 
 used on wood, stone, plaster, cement and metal interior or exterior. 
 
 Not only is it the most immaculate of enamels, but because of 
 durability, spreading quality and its easy working quality, it is 
 the most economical of enamels in square-yard cost.
