THOUSANDS OF COLORS AVAILABLE AT NEW SPEEDWAY COMPANY An expanded color program meeting the growing demands for broader selections in thousands of hues, shades and tints was announced this week by the newly opened Speedway Paint Company, 3616 W. 16th St., Indianapolis. Westside Indianapolis has broadened its line of products manufactured by the internationally renowned paint and color leader, the Martin-Senour Company of Chicago. “Through the Martin-Senour Custom Colors,” said Al Wagner, Gen. Manager of the Speedway Paint Store, “We can provide greater service to the decorators, homemakers, designers, architects and businessmen who are showing leadership in use of color.” Regarded as an outstanding authority on color uses, trends and manufacture, Martin-Senour maintains a constant check on changing tastes in the home furnishing, fashion and industrial worlds. The company’s president, William M. Stuart, and its color styling department constantly receive inquiries from all comers of the globe. Its color program is currently featured in International Trade Fairs sponsored by the U. S. Department of Commerce throughout the Far East. Recently, famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright selected Martin-Senour paints for his Talies in palette in presenting an integrated color program for interior decoration. This marked Mr. Wright’s first entry into the home furnishing field. In 1946 Martin-Senour sparked the current color revolution when it unveiled its Nu-Hue Custom Color system which provided thousands of tints, tones and shades of paint in flat, satin gloss and full gloss. All were mixed, according to precise form(Continued on Page 4)
