Hockaday paint mileage
This is a 1925 trade catalogue issued by the Hockaday Company of Chicago, a paint maker, presumably for architects, builders and property owners who specified paint for buildings. The pictures are sepia photographs of large commercial, institutional and school buildings, shot from street level or a distance, with rows of windows, cornice lines and tree-lined grounds; a designer might draw on their repeated grid of windows, masonry facades and early twentieth-century civic architecture.
