GEO. ROWNEY & CO.'S ARTISTS' WATER COLOURS Are ground finer than other makers' and flow more evenly without granulation. The colours go farther, and therefore are the most economical in the end. ASK FOR ROWNEY'S ARTISTS' COLOURS, and should you find any difficulty in obtaining them, write direct to the manufacturers— GEO. ROWNEY & CO. 61 Brompton Road, LONDON, S.W. REEVES' ARTISTS' COLOURS ARE MANUFACTURED PRIMARILY FOR ARTISTS, NOT AMATEURS; 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
