I desire to place myself on record as thoroughly favoring the colors put up by you for Grainers use.
After eight years experience with your colors, I find them always uniform in shade, thoroughly ground, and of great strength.
While in Philadelphia last month I visited the factory, and was particularly impressed with the method employed to keep the color uniform in tone and strength, by blending the different varieties which occur in the crude material, and keeping up to the high standard of purity of color adopted by you.
