7.  [Paint]  1882 H.W. Johns Asbestos Liquids Paints Brochure with Color 
Chips.

As this brochure explains, these were heavy-duty paints for heavy-duty 
projects (though they were available for both exterior and interior 
use). Developed for painting tin roofs, brick walls, outbuildings, ships 
at sea, fences, floors, bridges, freight cars and other railroad work, 
“they possess a more elastic body than any other paints ever produced, 
and are less liable to injury from abrasion or other hard usage”. This 
brochure includes the printed retailer’s slug for Charles W. Trainer & 
Co. and Boston, and features 8 long paint chips showing 36 colors.

Folding brochure. 5.75”x8.25”, 8 paint chips showing 36 colors. Some 
wear and soil, small top corner punch hole, several short closed rips, 
adhesion point on the facing text pages affecting several words.
