Tube (nominal) Post free (U.K.), 2/4. MAROGER MEDIUM possesses a pleasing “Fixity” of touch which allows for continuous modelling on paint recently applied, and effectively prevents new touches from being sullied with the colour previously applied. Ordinary oily medium will not allow of this. Your first application of MAROGER MEDIUM will come as a new and pleasurable experience, as you see the additional charm and brilliance it imparts to your work. MAROGER MEDIUM gives a lasting brilliance, similar to good varnish, and an unctuosity which allows working for several hours. Salon Catalogue is now published, Price 5s., Post free 5s. 6d.
