It was selected after a careful test by The Russell-Miller Milling Company of Minneapolis, who are manufacturers of Occi dent Flour, for enameling the walls, ceilings and equipment of their Minneapolis "B" mill. Old Dutch Enamel is ideal for use in buildings of all types, including residences, apartments, hotels, theatres, churches, hospitals and schools. 0007-SWP-039393 0007-SWP-000122772 ENAMEL FINISH ON INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TRIM Apartment at 72nd Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City, Overlooking Central Park Fim'shcf throughout with Sherwin-Williams Old Dutch Enamel F*A* < <*# 0007-SWP-039394 0007-SWP-000122773 ENAMEL FINISH ON INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TRIM o Application The capacity and covering qualities of Old Dutch Enamel make it possible to secure a re markable finish with this enamel with the minimum number of coats. It is generally recommended that five coats be used in secur ing an enamel finish on interior trim, three of these coats consisting of a high grade of undercoater, the fourth coat consisting of one-half Old Dutch Enamel and one-half undercoater thoroughly mixed together, and the fifth coat being a full flowing coat of Old Dutch Enamel. For work of an exceptional quality, a sixth coat consisting of Old Dutch Enamel can be specified where desired, although it is difficult to improve to any considerable degree on the beauty of the five-coat job. The beauty of any enamel finish is dependent to a considerable degree upon the undercoats. That the right kind of enamel undercoater should be used in building up a proper founda tion for the application of Old Dutch Enamel is quite important. The Sherwin-Williams Com pany strongly recommends the use of SherwinWilliams Flat-Rite Undercoater for this purpose. Flat-Rite Undercoater dries with an extreme ly white, flat finish which provides an ideal Undercoat- When applied it levels exception ally well, making extensive sanding unneces sary. It sands very easily without gumming the sandpaper and where mixed equal parts with Old Dutch Enamel for the fourth coat, it combines with that enamel in an ideal manner. It is well to mention here that when brush marks appear in the undercoater, or the under coater is scratched by the use of coarse sand paper, these defects are readily visible after the enamel coats are applied, regardless of what type of enamel may be used. Types of Finish There are three types of finish possible with Old Dutch Enamel, namely, the beautiful, full-bodied gloss finish for which Old Dutch Enamel is particularly noted; the exquisite, dull satiny effect ob tained by rubbing the gloss finish of the Old Dutch Enamel down with powdered pumice-stone and water; and the dull effect which is produced by using Old Dutch Enamel, Dull Finish. This latter finish closely approximates the gen uine rubbed effect. Where a slightly duller finish is desired, this can be secured by adding SherwinWilliams Flat-Rite Enamel Under coater in the proportion which will produce the dull effect which is de sired. Exact proportions cannot be given herein on account of the fact that what one person might consider a dull finish, another John A. might consider an egg-shell finish. Architect. CMcuo Torn.

Where the genuine rubbed effect is desired, no enamel can be found which will accept the rubbed finish more evenly and beautifully than Old Dutch Enamel. This enamel is so formulated as to permit rubbing within' a reasonable length of time after the application of the final enamel coat. Colors Old Dutch Enamel is manufactured in white, in both the glos3 and dull finishes, as well as in the beautiful tints of ivory white and French gray, in both the gloss and dull finishes. Other 'shades of Old Dutch Enamel art easily procurable by tinting with Sherwin-Williams First Quality Oil Colors, which makes a choice of hundreds of shades available for the architect, Where the quantity of Old Dutch Enamel required for any operation amounts to 100 gallons or over, The Sherwin-Williams Company will gladly make a special run of Old Dutch Enamel to match any special shade submitted by an architect. in tinting Old Dutch Enamel with SherwinWilliams First Quality Oil Colors, the color should be added to a small amount of the enamel which, after thoroughly mixing, should be~ added to the rest of the enamel, a little at a time, until the desired tint is obtained. Where the enamel is tinted, the undercoatcr also should be tintedj:o a similar color. Oft Lakes Coortnactioa Co., Ccntracton, Chicago. 10. Elgin State Hospital, Elgin, 111. Edcer D. Martin.
