Sanitary wall flat.
A trade catalogue issued in 1930 by the Allentown Manufacturing Co. to show its sanitary wall flat paint, aimed at builders, decorators and building trades. The single picture is a decorative wall border of stylised white tulips with green leaves set within a brown rule, plus fleur-like motifs at the sides on a warm grey ground. A designer might take its flat, two-tone stencil-like pattern and its restrained Arts and Crafts repeat as a model for border or pattern work.
