It Costs Most 
Smith’s Spar Coating 
costs more than any other—some are listed at 
the same figure, but their dealers’ discounts are 
larger. 
Eighty-two years’ experience. 
Any firm who has been in business for eighty-two 
years knows how to make chea[3er varnish—that is 
easy; but to make the best obtainable is not easy. 
Builders with reputation 
use Smith’s Spar Coating, although it costs more; 
but they know that the extra cost is little, the 
additional service much. Smith’s Spar Coating 
protects and upbuilds their reputation. 
Our friends 
The leading Naval Architects, Boat-Builders and 
Owners at home and abroad use Smith’s Spar 
Coating. It costs more to make, a little more to 
buy but appearance and durability make it “worth 
whiie.”
