 To Master Painters and Decorators — 



This is to certify that I am familiar with the 

 formula used in Hygienic Kalsomine, manufac- 

 tured by Adams & Elting Co., Chicago, and can 

 say that this formula contains one of the strong- 

 est germicides and antiseptics known to chem- 

 ical science. 



At their request I have personally seen this 

 germicidal substance incorporated into Hygienic 

 Kalsomine during its manufacture, and I know 

 positively that a disease germ could not live 

 in this preparation. 



Yours very truly, 



H. M. DEAVITT.

 Gentlemen — 



We began testing your Hygienic Kalsomine 

 for its antiseptic qualities March, 1909, and have 

 come to the conclusion that germs will not grow 

 if they come in contact with surfaces that have 

 been coated with your Kalsomine. 



We prepared one of our laboratories with a 

 light green shade of your Kalsomine and were 

 unable to grow germs in this room, while the 

 rooms that were not treated with your Hygienic 

 Kalsomine the bacteria flourished. We also 

 prepared cards with the different shades of your 

 Kalsomine and on these exposed various disease 

 producing organisms. We found that the germs 

 were killed in each case, as there was no growth 

 when they were transferred to culture media. 



For the above purpose we used Tuberculo- 

 sis, Typhoid, Diphtheria and Staphylococci or 

 pus germs. This laboratory has concluded that 

 your Hygienic Kalsomine is a germicide. 



Very truly yours, 

 J.H.M.-F.E.F. Signed J. H. MATTHES
