Linseed OIL was first made In New
York IN 1715. Pigments were all Inn
ported. In New England there was
much prejudice against the use Of
paint It being considered a sign OF
worldIiness and vanity.
In 1890 clergyman in Charlestown,
Mass, was hailed before the council for
having the interior Of his house paint
ed and during the ensuing 40 years
there was not painter in all New
England. sim, BY 1859 the use OF
paint had become general throughout
the country, the white house With
green blinds for many years being the
common form Of exterior painting in
all parts OF the United States. This
manner Of painting frame houses is to-
day enjoying popularity. In fact in
some quarters this color scheme is
criticised as lacking individuality.
