AWARDED GOLD MEDAL, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1900. ESTABLISHED 1789. BY APPOINTMENT TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING. GEO. ROWNEY & CO., Manufacturers of Drawing Pencils and Artists' Materials of the Finest Quality. ASK FOR ROWNEY'S ARTISTS' COLOURS, and should you find any difficulty in obtaining them, write direct to the manufacturers: 61 Brompton Road, S.W., A few doors from Knightsbridge Tube Station. 10 & 11 Percy Street, London, W., and 27 Rue des Bons Enfants, Paris. REEVES' ARTISTS' COLOURS ARE MANUFACTURED PRIMARILY FOR ARTISTS, NOT AMA- TEURS; THE PROCESSES ARE SUPERVISED BY CHEMISTS SPECIALLY TRAINED IN THE PREPARATION OF ARTISTS' COLOURS. REEVES' COLOURS ARE TESTED AND REPORTED UPON BY ARTISTS, AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE REASON OF THEIR PRESENT-DAY PERFECTION AND THE INCREASED HOLD THEY HAVE OBTAINED OF LATE YEARS ON THE LEADING STUDIOS. REEVES' COLOURS ARE SUPERIOR TO THOSE MADE PRINCIPALLY FOR AMATEURS—SUPERIOR IN STRENGTH, IN TONE, IN QUALITY AND IN PERMANENCE. AD. I
