Whether in white, or in colors, it will give prc- tection, and will continue to look "fresh" for a long period. This result is obtained by the use of finest ingredients in just-right proportions. The white base for it is that superb pigment known for two centuries as Brandrams Genuine B.B. White Lead. By using tliis, and other ingre- dients of similar high quality, there is maintained in B-H "English" Paint a standard of paint quality that other brands have to envy. It excels in "body," brilliance, covering-capacity and per- manence.
