BERGER’S B.P. PAINT. At the present time, when public bodies such as the Wanganui Education Hoard are comp]aiding about the quality oi the paint used in renovating their schools, it is well to remember that Berger’s B.P. Paint gives every satisfaction, and if this well-known brand had been used by the contracting painters, as specified by the Board, there would have been no cause for such complaints. B.P. Paint is manufactured specially for the practical painter. It is a paint of the purest and highest quality, and must not be confused with what is generally known as “ready mixed” or patent paints. Berger’s have been manufacturing paints for over 150 years, and is guaranteed by them, when properly applied, not to crack, chalk or flake. Should the paint in any way fall short of this guarantee, the manufacturers agree to refund the full value of the paint. B.P. Paint is composed of genuine white lead, genuine zinc oxide, refined linseed oil, pure American turpentine, finest dry colours of their own manufacture, and sufficient driers to ensure proper results. The firm claim that it is more economical than any other paint, because they guarantee it to cover 25 per cent, more surface than any other paint, including hand-mixed lead and oil. It is made in all shades, sold in any quantity, and has been used in this district with great success, by Messrs Clark and Thompson, of Eitzherbert Street, Palmerston xNorth, the district agency of this paint. They have received testimonials from a large number of clients, on whose residences and business places they have used it, and will be pleased to post colour cards and all information required free of cost on application. Their address is No. 3, Eitzherbert Street, ’phone 417, opposite Bank of New Zealand, Palmerston N.—Advt.
