Coating A perfect flat finish for plastered surfaces that lends itself to any desired color tone or decorative effect. “MERROLINE” walls can be washed and kept as spotlessly clean as a china plate. Pencil marks, ink stains, match scratches, finger marks, etc., instantly removed from “MERRO- LINE” walls with soap and water or dampened cleth. You cannot do this with either wall paper or kal- somined finish. “MERROLINE” strengthens the plastered sur- face—seals all of the pores and smaller interstices, forms a perfect bond with the plaster—prevents chipping and denting—will withstand knocks, marks and unusual abuse. “MERROLINE” works equally well on wood or metal trim. “MERROLINE” is cheaper because the life of a Merrolined wall or ceiling is at least seven years. Compare this with kalsomine or wall paper cost. Hospitals have long since banished kalsomine and papered walls. Both are insanitary. Is health in the homa less important? “MERROLINE” is the ideal finish for the bath- room. These Seattle Buildings Use “‘Merroline” Frederick & Nelson. Hotel Frye. Municipal Hospital Boston Block.
