Description of Ripolin Enamel
Ripolin is the.original Holland enamel, now made in Holland, France, United States and Canada. It was developed by a Dutch painter and chemist named Reip, more than 30 years ago, and since then has met with success in every civilized country.
'It is'made by a secret process. It. is for both exterior and interior, uses and is little affected by salt water and atmospheric changes.. It is easy-flowing, dries without brush marks and forms a
tough, lasting film. Specifications for special conditions supplied upon request.

size tile for this purpose lias been the.6-in. square or the oblong tile, about the shape and size of building brick.

Comparable in importance to the introduction of steel in -building construction is the'use of Opex Lac quers in interior decoration.

Similar advantages of Opex Lacquers have been the means of their adoption and specification by many of the leading architects.

Sherwin-Williams Concrete Wall Finish is a weather-resisting oil paint that dries to a dull velvet texture. It retains the texture of the-stucco where a gloss finish would be objectionable. .Furnished in white and in a line of useful, characteristic stucco colors.
The use of Sherwin-Williams Concrete Wall Fin
ish accomplishes three'things:. (1) Control of color and freedom f.rom blotchy,
uneven appearance. (.2) Reduction to the minimum of streaking with
dirt ancl weather. `(3) Waterproofs the' wall preventing the appear-
ante of hairline cracks and finking off caused by pene tration of moisture and frost.
