REFERENCE TABLE 
OF 
WOOD FINISHES 
r I 'HE Unique Wood Tints manufactured ex- 
clusively by the Chicago Varnish Company 
are applicable to the least costly as well as 
expensive woods. These stains show the various 
natural shades as produced by time and weather, 
as well as such coloring as is appropriate for use 
in houses where the modern style of decoration 
prevails. 
DEAD-LAC 
To preserve the color and the wood it is 
necessary to protect them against dampness, dust 
and smoke. Most varnishes produce an effect of 
very high gloss to which many object. Where a 
dull finish is desired, the Chicago Varnish Com¬ 
pany has offered Dead-Lac. For the past several 
years this varnish has met the requirements of the 
artistic architect and his client. Dcad-Lac is a 
true lustreless varnish and has received the un¬ 
qualified endorsement of the highest authorities. 
On a surface protected by this finish it is very 
hard to discover any treatment whatever, as it in 
no wise obscures the delicate lights and shades 
of the natural or stained wood. It is very 
durable and does not spot with water; in fact it 
may he wiped off with a damp cloth with perfect 
impunity. 
SHIPOLEUM 
Where a gloss finish is desired over the stained 
or natural wood, Shipoleum is recommended 
where paleness is not essential (in which case 
Hyperion or Palest Crysolite is advised). For 
the service department of the house where the 
wood is often left in the natural color, Ship¬ 
oleum should always be used. Three coats over 
the natural wood will give the most satisfying 
results. This varnish is thoroughly tough and 
durablg and is unaffected by heat and moisture, 
and although it is used in the highest grade of 
work, it is invaluable for hospitals, laundries, 
stables, etc. It is easy to apply and dries 
rapidly. 
EGGSHEL-WHITE AND IVORY EGGSHEL- 
WHITE ENAMEL 
Where an enamel finish is desired for the 
standing woodwork, this product supplies an 
eggshell gloss finish in the soft ivory tone seen 
on the woodwork of the really old Colonial 
houses, or, may be secured in the pure white. 
This enamel supplies an effect heretofore obtain¬ 
able only by careful polishing at the hands of 
skilled workmen. With Egsshel-White this is 
obtained by simply spreading the material with a 
brush. It is therefore a most economical as well 
as a most exquisite finish. Chicago Varnish 
Company’s Flat Lead should always be used for 
under coats excepting in bath tubs. 
SUPREMIS AND FLORSATIN 
These two floor finishes made by the Chicago 
Varnish Company are recognized as the most 
durable as well as the most beautiful on the 
market. Supremis is a gloss finish; Florsatin has 
the full beauty of wax.
