REFERENCE TABLE 
OF 
WOOD FINISHES 
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 neces¬ 
sary 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 Company 
has offered Dead-Lac. For the past several years 
this varnish has met the requirements of the 
artistic architect and his client. Dead-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 wliatever, as it in 
no wise obscures the delicate lights and shades 
of the natural or stained wood. It is very dur¬ 
able and does not spot with water; in fact it may 
lie wiped off with a damp cloth with perfect 
impunity. 
SHIPOLEUM 
Where a gloss finish is desired over the stained 
or natural wood, Shipoleuin is recommended 
where paleness is not essential (in which case 
Hyperion or Palest Crystalite is advised). For 
the service department of the house where the 
wood is often left in the natural color. Ship- 
oleum should always he used. Three coats over 
tlie natural wood will give tlie most satisfying 
results. This varnish is thoroughly tougli and 
durable and is unaffected by heat and moisture, 
and altliough it is used in the higliest grade of 
work, it is invaluable for hospitals, laundries, 
stables, etc. Tt is easy to apply and dries rapidly. 
EGGSHEL-WHITE AND IVORY EGGSHEL- 
WHITE ENAMEL 
Where an enamel finish is desired for the stand¬ 
ing 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 obtainable only by 
careful polishing at the hands of skilled workmen. 
With Eggshcl-iVhlfc this is obtained by simply 
spreading the material with a brush. It is there¬ 
fore 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 h'LORSATIN 
These two floor finishes made by the Chicago 
Varnish Comnany are recognized as the most 
durable as well as the most beautiful on the mar¬ 
ket. Supremis is a gloss finish; Florsatin has the 
full beauty of wax.
