Supersedes all Others - without which

FOR SHADING GLASS ROOFS OF ALL KINDS. 
Is the Cheapest. Goes four times as far as the 
old preparations. Note its merits described 
below. 
Messrs. Cajblton, Contractors for the painting 
of the Glasgow Exhibition of 1888, write :— 
“ By order of the Directors we applied this Shading to the 
glass roofing of the Glasgow Exhibition, and found it pos¬ 
sessed great advantages over all other preparations we had 
met with. Being applied cold it was 'most convenient to use, 
and while it resisted the action of the rain the whole season 
it was at once easily removed by gentle rubbing after wetting. 
It afforded a cool and pleasant shade, at same time admitting 
an abundance of light,"
