Hurst's best paints.
A trade catalogue issued by the Hurst Paint Co. in 1915, aimed at homeowners and builders choosing exterior and interior paint. The pictures are flat colour swatches labelled with numbers, sampling dark greys, reds, browns, tans, greens and blues, plus a photograph of a shingled two-story house with a bay of windows and a clover-leaf logo. A designer could take a ready-made palette of muted, earthy shades and the look of an early twentieth-century American suburban house.
