Excerpt from Materials for Permanent Painting: A Manual for Manufacturers, Art Dealers, Artists and Collectors I trust, therefore, that my work will be taken serious ly, and that the poorer painter will recognize that he need not use expensive colors to produce permanent results. I am glad that I am not actuated by any com mercial motive in writing this book, for, although I have been a color manufacturer for many years, I have never made, nor have I the intention of making tube colors for artists' use, but I have made quantities of finely ground colors for many of my friends, who are painters, and have demonstrated to them that some times the ordinary paints ground in oil, such as are used by house decorators, are sufficiently good for many purposes, and in many instances produce the same results as the more expensive colors filled in tubes. I have tried to write as fully as I know and give as plainly as I could the description relating to the more expensive colors, condemning those which should be condemned, and recommending others as long as there is nothing superior to be had. It may interest the reader to know why I take such a positive stand with reference to the fading, drying and other physical characteristics of colors, in view of the fact that the majority of investigators vacillate continually.
