Whitest white
A 1920 trade booklet from Hampden Paint & Chemical Co. promoting its Hampden Mill White paint to industrial clients, with plates showing painted factory and mill interiors across New England. Its pictures show large open factory floors, daylit mill halls and exterior views of plants, with white walls, columns and ceilings. A designer could take from them the strong reflective white of industrial interiors and the rhythm of repeated columns and bays.
