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 "walls that are a picture in themselves," but is perfectly sanitary, of great durability, and absolutely permanent in colour. SIR CHARLES A. CAMERON says:— "The advantages of using a paint which contains an effective microbe destroyer are obvious." Hall's Sanitary Washable 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. 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.
