ARTISTIC EXTERIOR & INTERIOR DECORATION by means of white & coloured cements - The vogue for simplicity and plain colouring in both interior and exterior decoration can be met most satisfactorily by the use of the various Cement Marketing Company's products. A particularly pleasing and lasting white finish can be obtained by the use of "Snowcrete." For general concrete work such as paths, garage approaches, etc., colour can be introduced by the use of "Colorcrete," whilst for coloured finishes and renderings there is a complete range of coloured cements available. These cements are also supplied mixed ready for use with suitable aggregate. Finally, the latest product of the Cement Marketing Company, "Tintocrete," makes possible a new and artistic process—a white or coloured cement spray can be applied to concrete, brick or stone, for either interiors or exteriors. "SNOWCRETE" WHITE PORTLAND CEMENT AND SNOWCRETE MIXTURE In three Standard Tones—1a White, 2a Cream, 3a Light Cream. Sold in non-returnable white paper bags. "COLORCRETE" COLOURED PORTLAND CEMENT (Rapid-Hardening) Supplied in two colours—1 Buff, 2 Red. COLOURED CEMENTS AND MIXTURES "TINTOCRETE" White and coloured cement spray for application to concrete, brick or stone. THE CEMENT MARKETING COMPANY, LTD.
