Dirt simply can’t get below the satin-smooth surface of this lustrous white finish. Bathrooms clean and sani- tary as white tile from floor to ceiling — without constant scrubbing. Kitchen walls im- maculate. Woodwork always bright and spotless. Barreled Barreled Sunlight costs less than enamel, is easy to apply, and requires fewer coats. One coat is usually sufficient over any previously light-painted surface. (Where more than one coat is required, use Bar- reled Sunlight Undercoat.) Barreled Sunlight is guar- anteed to remain white longer than any gloss paint or enamel, domestic or foreign, applied under the same conditions. Sold in cans from half-pints to five gallons.
