Color card H. W. Johns M'F'G Co.: standard paints for structural purposes.
This is a trade colour card issued in 1900 by the H. W. Johns Manufacturing Company, a maker of roofing and building materials, listing its standard structural paints by number and name for architects and builders. The pictures are flat rectangular swatches of muted browns, greens, drabs, buffs and greys, set in rows with printed numbers and captions, offering a designer a compact reference for period-accurate earth tones and paint names.
