RE FINISHING STATION [
DUCO—The Best Automobile Finish Known.
DUCO is the new finish perfected by the E. I. du Pont de .Nemours
& Company, Inc., and is without doubt the finest automobile finish avail-
able. It is absolutely unaffected by sun or rain, snow, dust, mud, soap,
tar, chalk, boiling water, salt, alkali, gasoline or oil.
DUCO does not check or crack. It does not become tarnished or
gray as do other finishes. When DUCO dries, it is hard-surfaced, yet
not brittle like other finishes. It is elastic and will expand and con-
tract with the metal of the body when subjected to extreme tempera-
tures. The finish is permanently applied and lasts indefinitely.
INSTEAD OF GROWING DULL AND LIFELESS WITH AGE DUCO
ACTUALLY GETS BRIGHTER AND GLOSSIER.
This remarkable material is now standard on a large majority of
well-known cars including Cadillac, Marmon, Buick, Hupmobile, Chrys-
ler, Maxwell, Oakland, Oldsmobile, Jewett, Chevrolet, Nash, Chandler,
and many others.
EL- CAMPO AUTO PAINT SHOP is the only shop in Wharton
