History- In 1941 Sherwin-Williams introduced Super Kem-Tone, the world's first latex house paint. It was the first commercial wall paint that could be washed. The fast-drying water based paint became an instant hit with do-it-yourselfers. The paint roller was also introduced at the same time. Before Kem-Tone, walls were painted with flat enamel which took several days to dry and had a strong odor.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition. The ad is sold untrimmed and unmatted.
