Hardwood Finishes
Now Offered in Duco

Another important development in
the paint industry is the introduce
ton of Duco stains for brush appn-
cation. Beautiful hardwood effects
such as oak, walnut, and mahogany
finishes can now be obtained by the
home owner using Duco applied with
a brush.
When the line of Duco colors for
brush application was placed on the
market a few months ago, there
arose a demand for Duco stain fin
ishes. After working on the problem
for several months, du Pont chemists
have now developed a line of stains
which possess the remarkable dura-
bility, resistance to moisture quick
drying qualities, and the smooth.
lustrouS finish so well known on
uco-finished automobiles, furniture
and other articles.
The Brooks Hardware COMPANY. To-
cal distributor of Duco. says that

secure popularity equal to the re-
markable success Ct Duco colors. A
