REFILL fTI0N VALUE Is
IMPORTANT IN WALLS

Industries Find Paler 'Cints Prove
Most Satisfactory.
Plant ana factory executives, who
are undermining their properties
and devoting particular attention
to proper lighting, are learning that
even in so-called daylight plants

ly painted with regard to light re-
Election value. The pale tints of
high rejecting INDEPENDENTLY
those most closely approaching
white. cream, and ivory-are prov
ing very satisfactory. Modern con-
struction, which considers windows,
lights and paint as three aids to
one end-better vision-is mainly
responsible for this interesting
trend.
