DISTINCTIVE DUTCH BOY INTERIORS Of f ic e WALLS need not be PLAIN Figured paint finishes permit many original and suitable treatments NOT only are office walls being painted ar tistically in one-coloi effects, but two-tone figured, finishes are also being used. In any office, pleasing and efficient treat ments can be worked out by using such figured finishes as the Crumpled Roll and the Sponge Mottle. These offer an endless variation in color and design, giving wide scope to the architect's originality. A number of architects are using two-tone figured finishes on office walls. The Watson Engineering Company, architects and engineers, have used them with marked success--both in their own offices and in those of their clients. Mr. S. H. Chadwick writes as follows: ``The figured paint finishes are not only pleasing in effect but very successful from the standpoint of efficient lighting, this being par ticularly true of the walls and ceiling of the draughting room, where the buff undertone gives excellent reflection and the figured green second coat gives a restful effect for the eyes .. . "In the office building of the Darling Valve and Mfg. Co., of Williamsport, Pa., with che excellent assistance of your Department of Decoration, we have used similar decorative schemes with very wonderful results, not only from the standpoint of effectiveness, but from an economical standpoint as well. "Dutch Boy materials were used and, in selecting them, we believe that results were accomplished that otherwise would not have beeu the case."
