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

TAKE A KODAK WITH YOU A HOLIDAY WITHOUT A KODAK IS ONLY HALF A HOLIDAY The keynote of Kodak Photography is simplicity—which explains why nearly everyone who uses a camera prefers to use a Kodak: indeed you must have a Kodak if you wish to be independent of the darkroom from start to finish, because no other system adds to daylight loading and unloading, the certainty, simplicity and comfort of Kodak daylight development. EVERYTHING NECESSARY FOR KODAK PICTURE-MAKING FINDS AMPLE ROOM IN A CORNER OF YOUR GLADSTONE. A Brownie Kodak (from 5/-) or a Folding Pocket Kodak (from 42/-) puts within your reach a pastime which is second to none in the delights it affords, and enables you to make lasting records of your holiday rambles and excursions. INSIST UPON KODAK N.C. FILM & REFUSE ALL SUBSTITUTES. Interesting, beautifully illustrated booklets telling all about Kodak Photography will be sent free to all applicants.

How to make Home, Sweet Home. The quick, beautiful and economical way is to decorate with "Hall's Sanitary Washable Distemper," because it not only makes "picture walls," but is perfectly sanitary, of great durability, and absolutely permanent in colour. Hall's Distemper (Trade Mark) is also the least costly form of decoration. It is entirely free from the objectionable smell of paint, is more artistic than wall-paper, and quicker and cheaper than either. It is applied with a whitewash brush, saving much in the cost of labour, sets hard, and contains a powerful and effective microbe destroyer. It is made in 70 colours, including rich dark as well as light shades, and in two qualities for inside and outside use. Any decorator can quickly change your paper-covered walls to the modern artistic picture walls made with Hall's Distemper, at little cost. Ask to see the series of artistic stencil friezes now available. You are invited to send for the Hall's Distemper Booklet, Modern Development in House Decoration," with coloured views of Dining, Drawing, Bedroom and Library in Hall's Distemper Decoration, sent post free on application to the Sole Proprietors and Manufacturers— SISSONS BROTHERS & CO., Ltd., HULL.
